IPhone 4 : Is It Worth The Money?

By Mark Walters

As always, Apple has outdone itself with the design of the new iPhone 4 - standing out not only from other manufacturer's smartphones, but from its own iPhone 3GS as well. The iPhone4 boasts a ultra-slim design that delivers nearly 25% less bulk and a greater hand-held experience at a full 3 mm thinner than its 3GS predecessor, which was 12.3 mm deep. Apple even managed to reduce the side to side dimensions to 59m -62 mm, though the iPhone 4's weight remains unchanged at 136 grams.

Now dimensions aside, that is not the only thing that makes the iPhone 4 spectacular. Apple really pulled all the stops for the iPhone 4. It features a 3.5 inch display just like its sibling, the iPhone 3GS, but the resolution has been upgraded to 960 x 640 pixels making the display super sharp and the clarity amazing. This is the absolute best picture quality that can be found currently on the market.

The IPS (in-plane switching) display utilizes the same practice as found on Apple's iPads and iMacs, which boasts several display advantages over the average display screen. It delivers a rich and lively display with an incredibly wide viewing angle - providing a vibrant display regardless of your position from the screen. In fact, their display has such intense clarity and sharpness, it has been dubbed the "Retina" display, because the human retina actually reads less pixels than their screen's display output.

The A4 CPU included with the iPhone 4 is the same one that powers the iPad. What's more the iPhone 4 has a greater number of capabilities with the new iOS 4 operating system, including the ability to more easily multitask. While you may think that they took too long to do it, Apple merely wanted to bide their time until they could release a finished product, as with the copy and past features.

The iPhone 4 also has fantastic ways to use your still and video camera, now featuring a 5 megapixel camera in the body of the phone. What's more, it comes with a backlit sensor, 5x integrated zoom, and an LED flash, as well as the ability to record 720p HD video at 30 fps, making it an amazing video camera. You can even use tap to focus on the video camcorder as well.
