The IPhone 4 - Is It Worth Buying?

By Mark Walters

One of the most impressive and noticed features of Apple's new iPhone 4 is the amazing 960 x 640 'Retina' IPS display. Apple has packed an amazing 326 pixels per inch on their 3.5" LCD screen. In short, the iPhone 4 delivers the sharpest display and highest resolution of any mobile device on the market.

Apple did not stop with the display on their newest iPhone release. The same internal processor that drives their recently released iPad also governs the iPhone 4. The processor leaves other smart phones way behind, as Apple truly revolutionized its processing abilities for the smartphone. In addition, the battery lasts approximately 40% longer than its 3G predecessor - which means seven hours of talk time and 300 hours if in standby mode. The frequent ding of the low battery tone will be a thing of the past with your new iPhone 4.

The operating system has also been revamped from the iPhone OS 4.0 to the smoothly running iOS 4. Perhaps most pleasing to iPhone users will be the ability to multitask various applications while using their smartphone. Apple has stated that the new operating system has allowed the enhancement of approximately 1500 features on the new iPhone. Previously, a user had to stop iTunes playback in order to check their email - but now the user can listen to music and check email at the same time. Users will also be able to organize and create iTunes folders on the go and will even have the ability to tap into Apple's emerging iBooks application.

Apple made huge advancements in the iPhone 4's camera functions, which often received complaints as being inferior to the Apple standard that users expected. In addition to capturing 5.0 megapixel images, the iPhone can also record high definition video at an astonishing 720p. Another notable feature that Apple included is the ability to make video calls to other users. The application - named "Face Time" - is an attribute that no other smartphone company has released.

If you think that you want an iPhone 4, then do a little online research and compare service providers to see who has the best deal on this excellent handset. With a two year contract, the iPhone has a promotional selling price of approximately $200, but with a quick online comparison shopping trip, you can almost certainly find an even better price.
