The iPhone 4 - What's So Great About It?

When Apple released their new iPhone 4 a few months back, it was as though a temporary insanity descended on the country, with population sleeping surface market to get their hands on the latest offering from the tech giant. Apple has a cult-like following and every person from computer withhold guys to trendy musicians are willing to throw up their hands and say 'I'm a Mac'. But what is so extra about the iPhone 4 anyway? Why all the fuss? Is the hyped-up initiate of new iPhones nothing more than a clever marketing strategy or is there something about the new model that means we simply have to have it? Here are a few features the iPhone 4 has that its predecessors did not. Conclude for yourself either you think it's worth the buzz...

Retina Display

IPhone 4

For all those budding photographers out there or population who are seeing for a very sharp focus in their screen, the iPhone 4's 'retina display' might grab your interest. Basically, the screen of the Phone 4 is the same size as other models, but has 4 times as many mega-pixels squeezed into the area. This means far sharper images, brighter colours and best photo display. Basically, all you do will be clearer. Steve Jobs has said "there's a magic number nearby 300dpi, if you hold something about 10-12 inches away from your eye, it's the limit of the human retina to distinguish pixels" which sounds very impressive--and is--but basically is a sophisticated and marketing-y way of saying the screen and visibility are better.

Better Camera

In the age of instant happy-snaps and uploading, a good-quality phone camera is becoming an increasingly leading highlight to look for. The camera on the iPhone 3 experienced some poor reviews in consumer forums, especially in relation to the cost of the phone. The camera on the iPhone 4 is 5 mega-pixels and has the capacity to report movies in Hd. In increasing to this the iPhone 4 has video calling (on wifi) which is pretty cool in and of itself.

Sleeker, Slimmer Design

In this thin-obsessed world we live in it seems that even phones can be forced to lose weight which is what Apple have done with their new model. The iPhone 4 has a slimline style to make a supermodel jealous and is lighter than before. The build has caused some reception issues which is a flaw that population are talking about, so if you haven't the time for computer repairs or reception issues when it comes to your technology this could count as a tick against it.

Whether you love or hate the iPhone 4, there's no denying that Apple really put a lot of work into developing the new model, and perhaps even more work into telling every person about it. The best thing to do if you're considering upgrading is to list all the qualities you want in a phone as well as all the things you'd like to see improved on, and see if the iPhone 4 matches up.
