Many people who joined the long waiting list for the new Apple iPhone 4 will have already received their phone. And the overall response to the latest generation of iPhone has been incredible, with customers not only liking the new design, but also appreciating the tweaks that were made to produce a highly satisfying user experience.
Anyone who owns one of the top three iPhone add-ons will immediately notice a few differences in this new model. Since the original iPhone was released, all updates have been internal and no major changes have ever been made to the look of the phone. This new version of the iPhone 4 is different in that a major design overhaul has been carried out. The new chassis is very thin, at its deepest point it measures a very small 9.3mm. This is partly because Apple wrapped a very sleek-looking stainless steel band around the phone, which not only earned style points, but also doubled as the phone’s antenna. The famous curved rear panel is also missing from this new addition, instead a sleeker and more attractive glass panel. The same glass is also used in the construction of the front of the phone. You’d be forgiven for thinking that glass and mobile phones aren’t the best mix, however, this is no ordinary glass. Due to a chemical treatment used in its production, this new glass is incredibly scratch resistant, ideal for a mobile phone. Its durability is due to the fact that it is now 30 times stronger than plastic. This will please many phone users, myself included, used to phones picking up marks from pockets and bags.
If you really want to impress your friends with the new iPhone 4, then the best way to do it is to play an HD video. In landscape mode, panoramic images of excellent quality are displayed. Thanks to the high resolution of the screens, together with the IPS technologies that it incorporates, the colors are real and the darkest tones have a depth never seen before in a product of this type. You can also display your own footage on screen thanks to the ability to record HD footage as well. The days of having a separate recorder, camera and phone are almost over if the result of this phone is anything to go by. The camera also impresses, despite a fairly average resolution of 5 megapixels. Thanks to improved sensor technology, images now produce more colours, resulting in very high-end photos.
The new iPhone 4 was always going to be popular due to its carrying the Apple name, however, it has proven worthy of all praise with features hitherto unmatched in other phones and a look that will also win many admirers.
