The Brilliant Iphone 4 Sets A New Benchmark For Smartphones
With the Apple iPhone 4 now available, many consumers are left questioning whether the media attention and long wait for its arrival has been worthwhile?
This new iPhone release is perhaps the most crucial ever from Apple's point of view. Mobile phones are improving at an alarming rate, with numerous operating systems and increasing numbers of applications spoiling the customer for choice. And whereas the iPhone was once without question the phone to have, the likes of Samsung and HTC have been improving, closing the gap on the iPhone. Thus the iPhone 4 needed to be a very special release, and it seems to have come up trumps. The usual minor changes we associate with a new iPhone are now major changes, in both features, functionality and design. For the first time since the original release, the design has been changed. This new phone is more about straight and sleek lines, rather than the curved look of its predecessors. Toughened glass is used in the construction, not only helping durability but adding a touch of class to the look. The new features on offer seem to be very well considered, with Apple adding what the customers has been demanding. Battery life has improved by around 25% over the iPhone 3GS and this new model bOasts the long awaited multitasking facility. No longer does exiting an app mean you quit it completely. This new system saves your progress before exiting. When you are ready to resume, a new menu can be called up that lists your most recently used features, from where you simply choose the task you wish to continue with. Considering most modern handsets are much more than just a phone, the array of functions on offer has been crying out for multi tasking for a while now.
Media is great on the iPhone 4. For people who favour video recording over still photography, the phone now offers great clarity with 720P HD recording. Most of the phones users will have HD television at home, meaning any footage recorded can be viewed in superb quality on a large screen. Gone are the days where phones only offered a very low resolution VGA result. High Definition broken down into more simple terms offers more horizontal lines in the frame, ultimately expanding the number of pixels thus giving a clearer image as a result. We must mention still shots too, as it is easy to get carried away with the mega pixel rating. This is not the be all and end all as is illustrated on the iPhone 4. Despite a modest 5 million pixel resolution, when combined with an improved quality sensor the results outshine those produced on many 8 mega pixel and upwards devices.
The upgrades found on the iPhone 4 are a breath of fresh air to what was an excellent, but rather safe format. The changes will serve Apple well going forward, and give rival manufacturers more work to do in overtaking this popular phone.
