Today, Apple announced the iPhone 4S, a launch date for iOS 5 (Oct 12), the new Find My Friends app, the Siri personal assistant, and updates to the iPad Nano and iPod Touch. Here’s a roundup of links from today’s announcements and reactions from around the web. I won’t be buying the new iPhone 4S (I just upgraded to an iPhone 4 earlier this year) but I’m looking forward to the iOS 5 update.
