So just like everyone expected, we have seen the new IPhone 4 shatter sales records when it was released. Apple has a sales juggernaught with the IPhone brand and it does not look like it is going to stop now with the IPhone 4. The IPhone 4 has many great features but there are also some flaws that have been shown to be present on the phone. We will show you what the good things about the phone are and reveal the bad. Some of the bad you might already know about since it has been in the news for a couple of weeks. But you can rest assured, there is more good news about the phone than bad and we will talk about it here.
What makes the IPhone 4 different from the other phones out on the market?
When it comes to Apple and the competition in the smart phone arena, one thing that you will hear about all of the time is “why don’t people just copy the IPhone”? That is easier said than done. You would have to change the lifestyle of a company to be able to duplicate what Apple has done with the IPhone 4. They really care about quality and you can see that in how the phone is built. They also really care about design. They want their products to be pretty and to be functional. Both of these factors hold equal weight inside of the Apple brand.
The software of the IPhone 4
Unlike the other smart phone manufacturers that they compete with, Apple has been in the software and the hardware business for a long time. So they know how to make software that looks good. With the IPhone 4 you have the IOS operating system, and it is as pretty as it is powerful. With the new IOS operating system, Apple has decided to bring several features to the IPhone 4 that people have been asking for. The main feature that has been requested is multitasking for the phone. For the people who are not aware of what it is, multitasking is the ability of the phone to be able to run more than one third party application at a time. In earlier versions of the IPhone, you could only run more than one application at a time when one of the apps was made by Apple themselves. With the IPhone 4, that is no longer the case. Another thing that has been added with the addition of IOS is folders. Now you can organize your apps with folders. This is a simple feature but one that is very useful. It will help keep your apps organized. There are many more changes to the IOS operating system but these are the ones that people seem to care about the most.
Changes in the hardware
There have been just as many changes in the hardware as there has been in the software. The first change that you might notice is the metal bar that is going around the phone. This is the antennae for the phone. This antenna has been the cause of a recent controversy. There have been reports of dropped calls when you touch a certain spot on the phone. Apple has issued free bumpers to put on the phone to solve the issue and while this is a fix that works is still is a little undesirable.
There have also been changes in the screen as well. Apple has placed a new feature in it called Retina Display and what it does is give you the highest resolution of any phone that is out on the market. People are amazed at how much clearer the screen looks when using retina display. The last big hardware change that you will notice is the front facing camera that the IPhone 4 now has. You can use a piece of software called Face time to be able to video chat with a friend. The only downside is that it only works on WiFi and the other person must have an IPhone 4 as well.
There are many other features that are available with the IPhone 4 such as the ability to be able to record and edit HD movies, but we have run out of space. The IPhone 4 is a great phone and one that you will love to own.
