The aesthetic design of the iPhone 4 makes it really stand out from the competition. It is noticeably slimmer than the iPhone 3GS, measuring 9.3mm deep, whereas the iPhone 3GS's is 12.3mm (that works out to be about 24% less). The iPhone 4 is slightly narrower too - 59mm to 62mm. The overall weight is the same - 136g - but the changes to the dimensions make the iPhone 3GS seem somewhat 'bulky' in comparison.
Of course, the iPhone 4 offers much more than just cosmetic enhancements. What makes this phone so welcome is what has been changed and updated inside of the handset. As with its predecessor, Apple iPhone 4 comes with a 3.5-inch display, but the new phone's display doubles the resolution - 960-by-640-pixel. At 326 pixels per inch, this means that phone has the highest resolution screen display available on a phone to date.
The display provides an incredible level of sharpness, clarity, and image detail. Dubbed the "Retina display," it obtained the name because of its ability to process an even higher number of pixels than the human retina. The iPhone 4 screen has in-plane switching, or IPS, capabilities that are found in all iMac and iPad displays. Because of this, you get a vibrant, colorful display that looks terrific regardless of how it's held due to large viewing angle.
The iPhone 4 uses Apple's A4 processor, which is the same one that was chosen to power the iPad, and it runs the newly developed iOS 4 operating system. As a result of this OS, the phones capabilities are much better. Previous owners of iPhones will be pleased to hear that multitasking is one of the new capabilities. It feels long overdue but, as with Apple's long-awaited cut-and-paste feature, it meets, and even exceeds, expectations.
Size advancements and the addition of multitasking are not the only achievements of the iPhone 4. Advancements in camera and video recording devices are also a welcome improvement. The camera found on the back has changed from 3 megapixels to a more robust 5 megapixels with the same size pixel. An LED flash and a backlit sensor augment the camera. It also comes with and integrated 5X zoom. Video can now be shot in high definition at 720p and 30 frames per second. Additionally, the tap-to-focus feature found on the camera is now available on the video recorder.
Owners of the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G will certainly want to make the jump to the Apple iPhone 4. Previously, with the advance of the iPhone 3G to the 3GS, Apple focused on small enhancements in performance. With the iPhone 4, digital imaging was the priority as well as the display. These encompassing augmentations make the iPhone 4 the phone to beat.
