subject: The Amazing Iphone 4 - A New Phone With A Stylish New Look C [print this page] It seems that the huge public interest in Apples latest phone, the iPhone 4, is very well justified. Not only is the handset great on paper, but when it comes to the real thing the phone actually exceeds all expectations.
The previous updates to the iPhone range have seen Apple making relatively minor changes and sticking to a tried and trusted format with regards to the design of the phone. This latest launch, in the face of stiff competion from other manufacturers has seen the most complete overhaul ever witnessed on the iPhone, with not only some excellent new features being included, but the first ever re design of the phones body. This new body boasts a thickness of just 9.3mm, not only 24% less than the 3GS, but also less than every other smart phone available. The familiar black glossy back plate has also been replaced. In its place now is a sheet of chemically strengthened glass. This not only enhances the look of the phone, giving a more expensive appearance and feel, but also makes it more durable against scuffs and scratches. This is actually the same glass panel that is used on the front of the phone too. Hidden behind this glass is the superb "Retina" display. Apples impressive 960 x 640 screen show a huge range of colours thanks to the 800:1 contrast ratio. Thanks to the 326 pixels per square inch displayed, not only do images look great but even the smallest of text appears crystal clear.
Users of the iPhone 4 will be impressed with the new multi media options that are on offer on the phone. Shooting of video has been stepped up a gear on this model, with High Definition capture now available . This footage is shot at a resolution of 720P, giving superb movies which you even have the option of editing yourself via the new iMovie application that is available. Using this neat application allows you to not only add titles to your film, but gives your more advanced functions such as controlling transitions between clips. Still shots have also seen an improvement thanks to a 2 million pixel increase in resolution. This however is not the be all and end all when it comes to quality, and a new increased sensor means the pictures look much clearer than you would expect. This is because this new sensor physically increases the size of each pixel, making it more absorbent to light, resulting in a more colourful and vivid image. The iPhone 4 sees a new secondary camera installed on the front of the phone to allow users to take advantage of Apples new "FaceTime" video calling system.
This latest iPhone release sees Apple totally overshadow the barrage of phones being released this summer with an unrivalled display, a sleek new design and a feature list that is really difficult to be improved upon.
