The Looks
The first two releases of the iPhones were identical but the iPhone 4 is a refreshing change with a flat back replacing the curve back of the previous models. The flat back makes the iPhone feel solid and sturdy in the hands. The iPhone may not feel as thin as it seems but nevertheless, its the thinnest smart phones around. The appearance of iPhone may be a treat to one while the others may like the curved back of the older version.
The Display
The iPhone has lived up to its reputation set earlier by offering its latest model with a spectacular display. Apple calls it the 'retina display' that is quadruple the screen resolution of the pixels offered in the iPhone 3GS.
The screen of the iPhone makes everything look better, like the user-interface being very friendly and the vector graphics on using the applications. The iPad's display would also mean that it could act as an excellent e-book reader.
Performance
The iPhone 4 runs on the iOS 4 software. Simple multitasking is very much supported by the phone
although it cannot match a desktop. All kinds of programs do not run on the background while you are engaged with some other task. Only selective programs like music would do the trick. This limitation would also mean that the iPhone's battery would not be drained quickly.
The iPhone comes with a better email reading application which allows you to bring in all your emails into one inbox. The iPhone4 finally gives you the authority to customize your home screen by changing wallpapers and setting up applications on the home screen.
Multimedia
The iPhone has actually increased the camera capacity of the phone to 5-mega pixel with an LED light. The touch-to-focus feature of the phone enables you to concentrate more on your focus with a single touch. The iPhone's super fast shutters allow you to capture photos in a split second.
The video capturing quality is not too bad either with its 720pixels high definition video at 30Fps. The quality of video offered is expected to be pretty good.
The iTunes software in the iPhone allows you to store applications, music and photos in the phone's unique way of storing data. The front camera is another important and welcome change in the iPhone. Though meant for video calling, the camera takes stills too.
The Apple's easy-to-use interface also means that it is easy to use any of its software too. The Face Time software is one such application that tells you exactly why the iPhone is such a delight to use. The battery life of the iPhone that always used to be a complain in the past seems to have bettered with the iPhone 4.
The iPhone 4 with its Wifi, HSPA, and 3G enables fast uploads and downloads. Thankfully Apple has not sacrificed its speed for any of its developments on the iPhone 4.
Final Verdict
The Apple iPhone has always stayed ahead in the race with its competitors in the smart phone segment. The downside has always been its price. But considering the fact that the joy it offers in using the phone is not anywhere near its rival phone's usability, the price factor is justified. The iPhone 4 has done well to keep itself in the race with the rivals.
