The IPhone 4 : The Basics Explained
The iPhone has sold more than 50 million units since it was released in 2007. Because of this extraordinary number, the possibilities of cell phones have been expanded both in what they can do and how they are used. Leading the charge of the next generation of cell phones is the iPhone 4. Is it possible for the device to live up to the hype? Most noticeable is the new screen. The “Retina” is a 3.5-inch IPS, LCD display with a robust resolution of 960 by 640 pixels and 326 pixels per inch. What this means to the consumer is clearer images due to the highest resolution available on any cell phone that has been produced to date. The iPhone 4 has a 40% extended battery life (meaning up to 7 hours of talk-time or 300 hours on standby) in comparison to its predecessor and features the same processor as is used in the iPad. The processor is as powerful as you will find in any smartphone from any manufacturer. The difference in processing power is really noticeable when you use it. The operating system used is the iOS 4, which includes – for the first time – the ability to multitask. That means no more deciding whether to listen to music or check your email, as you will be able to do both, or anything else for that matter, at the same time. You can also create folders in iTunes and iBooks, which could not be done before. In fact, Apple claim that around 1500 features have been improved, modified and created in the new version of its OS, which is undoubtedly quite an improvement. The iPhone 4 possesses a camera that is leaps and bounds better than those used in previous iPhones. A 5.0 megapixel camera is found on the iPhone 4 and it is capable of recording video in HD at 720p. Apple obviously was tired of receiving complaints of the inferior cameras manufactured before. Also worthy of note is the inclusion of “Face Time.” It is the ability to place video calls, a feature that no other smartphone can claim. Expect to pay around $200.00 for an iPhone 4 with a two year contract. Be sure to check various network operators and providers because the price will vary. You may be able to find it for less than $200.00. It is also better to resist the urge to run down to the store and buy the first phone you see. Check online and comparison shop. It does not take much time and may save you some significant cash.
