A Review Of The IPhone 4

A Review Of The IPhone 4

Another chapter was recently added to the iPhone phenomenon, with the launch of Apple’s latest version, the iPhone 4. With a fresh look and a host of new and improved features designed to appeal to customers who have managed to resist the iPhone’s temptation so far, is Apple’s claim that the iPhone 4 is another leap forward, and the best iPhone yet, just marketing spin?

If you already have a 3GS, the first thing you’re going to notice about the iPhone 4 is that it looks very different; and those who were never a fan of the 3GS’s rounded pebble back, are going to find the iPhone 4′s new sleek, flat look hard to resist. The promise of more technology and features from this much thinner iPhone might seem hard to believe, but the extra camera and LED flash give you a reassuring glimpse of what’s in store.

The improvements continue with the iPhone 4′s amazing new display. By doubling the number of pixels, the high contrast screen makes everything appear so much brighter and clearer. Whether you are surfing on the web, reading emails, looking at photos, or watching high resolution video, the new display makes everything look great, even in bright sunlight.

Manufacturers like Sony Ericsson, LG and Samsung have won an army of fans by providing up to 12 megapixels in their camera phones, and this is traditionally an area that the iPhone has struggled with. The new iPhone 4 however, levels the playing field, and while it’s new 5 megapixel camera might not sound that impressive, the improved light sensing and image handling mean that those wanting high quality photos and video from their phone, won’t be disappointed. A flash for the main camera and video calling via the smaller second camera, complete the improvements.

The iPhone 4 also has a totally new operating system with some very nice features. You can now arrange all your homepage icons into folders, so you have all the similar ones in the same place, and can extend the number of icons you get onto your homescreens. Plus, genuine multitasking is now possible with the iPhone 4, letting you work in a number of different apps at the same time, easily choosing which one you want as the rest continue to run in the background.

Those who thought the 3GS was good will love the new look and greater functionality offered by the iPhone 4. Would be Apple converts who might still be on the fence should get down and join the queue to get one. Apple has improved what many thought was already the best smartphone in the world, and is sure to win over a lot of new fans with its great looks, class-leading display and usability.
