Apple iPhone 4: The Best iPhone to Date?

Jan. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- The release of the iPhone 4 have made a lot of people, Apple fans and non-fans alike, excited about what the smartphone has in store for them, especially with the news about the vast improvements and upgrades this phone has over the iPhone 3GS. Even now, a year or so after the release of the iPhone 4, a lot of people remain excited about the features and functionality of this smartphone, with some touting it as the best phone to date. This article takes a look at the features of this device to give you an idea what the fuss is about.  

The features of the Apple iPhone 4 include:

•   Appearance and design. While the iPhone 4 boasts of a design that's reminiscent of the classic style of iPhones, its appearance has been tweaked a bit to make it identifiable from its predecessors. Instead of the rounded edges and sleek curves, the iPhone 4 has sharp grooves and lines, giving it a more professional and industrial look. The build itself is quite durable, with users not having to worry about this suddenly breaking in their hands if they happen to have a strong grip.

•   Display. One of the biggest upgrades of the iPhone 4 is its display. The iPhone 4 boasts of the innovative Retina Display technology, which is designed so that your eyes don't see any of the individual pixels, allowing you to view clear, crisp images on the screen without being bothered by the tiny dots floating on the display. The resolution of the phone is quite good as well, with its 960 x 640 display at 326 px per inch.

•   Camera. The phone's camera is quite decent at 5 MP with its dual LED flash. The camera also allows users to take HD videos at 720p.

•   Hardware and software. The iPhone 4 has a custom 1 Ghz Apple A4 processor, the same processor that's built into the iPad. Combine this with an iOS 4 operating system and 512 MB RAM and you get one of the speediest phones among its contemporaries. You can choose between 16 GB and 32 GB units.

•   Functionality. This phone was built for multi-taskers. You no longer have to close the app you're using before you can open a new one again. With the iPhone 4 (http://www.sim-mobile.co.uk/the-best-iphone-4-contract-de...), you can finally open multiple apps at a given time, and you can do so without fear that your phone's performance will suffer. Even with multiple apps opened at a given time, your phone won't lag. The iPhone 4 also comes with FaceTime, a feature that allows you to take video calls with other iPhone 4 users on a Wi-Fi connection.

The release of the iPhone 4 has ushered a whole new level to the development of smartphones. The introduction of the iPhone 4S (and the incipient release of the iPhone 5) show that Apple has so much more in store for users, and the iPhone 4 only hints at the newest innovations the company will be introducing to the public in the coming years.
