subject: iPhone4 - the greatest advance [print this page] The expectation created by the new Apple smartphone, the iPhone4, has made three major carriers, Telefonica, Vodafone and Orange, to prepare his arrival, on 30 July with special events held in secret.
The iPhone 4, defined as "the greatest advance since the introduction of the iPhone" by Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, was officially launched on June 7, but it was known throughout the world because one of the prototypes was forgotten in April in a bar of Silicom Valley by an employee of Apple and reached the hands of digital publishing Gizmodo. The device went on sale June 24 in the U.S., Japan, France, Britain and Germany and until July 16 had been sold about three million units despite the information on problems of reception of its signal. These criticisms of the reception, Apple has responded by giving protective covers of the phone he stated that the deficiency is remedied.
Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO noted that these problems are common in smartphones and the iPhone 4 "has the highest percentage of customer satisfaction for all iPhone and smart phones." The truth is that while the first iPhone that was launched in 2007 in the United States accounted for a revolution in the world of mobile telephony, the new version has a market that is growing much in the segment of smartphones and that all manufacturers have made progress in both operating systems, including applications and design. Faced with this competition, iPhone has the advantage that Apple is the concept "object of desire" which creates great excitement when a new product hits the market.
In the U.S., the iPhone 4 came at the 16 gb and 32 gb versions. On the 30th will be released in Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and Canada. The most obvious difference is that the new iPhone is thinner than the previous ones, only 9.3 mm, with a stainless steel edge for now, will be available in black.
The white version of the iPhone 4 will not be available until later, as these devices, according to Apple, have been more difficult to manufacture, and although they have not specified the launch date seems to be within this year. The iPhone has a front video camera for videoconferencing, rear 5-megapixel camera, LED flash, 5x zoom and the ability to record HD video. Your screen has four times more pixels than its predecessor and more battery life, up to 10 hours of video, 40 hours music and 7 hours of use with 3G connection. The operating system has also changed is the IOS4 that allows multiple applications open at once.
