As always, Apple has outdone itself with the design of the new iPhone 4 - standing out not only from other manufacturer’s smartphones, but from its own iPhone 3GS as well. The iPhone4 boasts a ultra-slim design that delivers nearly 25% less bulk and a greater hand-held experience at a full 3 mm thinner than its 3GS predecessor, which was 12.3 mm deep. Apple even managed to reduce the side to side dimensions to 59m -62 mm, though the iPhone 4’s weight remains unchanged at 136 grams.
While these enhancements alone are enough to justify upgrading to the Apple iPhone 4, they have thrown in even more convenient features for the discerning customer. After all, the iPhone 4, while being smaller, shares the iPhone 3GS’ same 3.5″ screen, but now it can carry an even higher 960 x 640 pixel resolution. Each inch carries 326 pixels, making it the highest resolution phone screen you can find on the market today.
The Retina display is far better than any other type of smartphone screen you can find on the market - after all, it gets its name from the fact that it has a greater number of pixels than can be picked up by the human eye. iPads and iMacs have also carried over their in-plane-switching techniques to the screen of the iPhone 4, making the screen able to be viewed from more angles than ever before and allowing for maximum visibility and comfort - no more tilting the screen so you can see what is going on.
Apple employed its A4 CPU as the brain for the iPhone4 - the same one found in the iPad. By coupling it with the iOS 4 operating system, the iPhone 4 is able to deliver a wide range of new functions for the user. While users have long awaited multi-tasking ability, they will not be disappointed with the new capabilities of the powerful new iPhone. Just as Apple took its time in perfecting the copy and paste features before release, Apple has created a well-oiled multi-tasking phone that will not plague the user with constant lagging or freezing.
The iPhone 4 leaves nothing to be desired. Apple took the time to consider what people are doing with their cell phones nowadays and even added in technological advancements to their video and camera capabilities. The internal camera now features a whopping 5 megapixel camera. This is 2 megapixels more than their previous phones. There is also an LED flash, 5x zoom option and a sensor that intuitively notices when a picture needs to be back-lit. You are also given HD quality video thanks to the fast processing inside the iPhone 4. And Apple has also integrated features into their video formatting formally only available in the camera function such as tap-to-focus which allows for even better video taking. The Apple iPhone 4 is everything you have wanted and been waiting for in a smart, stylish and sleek package.
