With the iPhone 4S on the market it's only natural to question whether you should buy that or the
older model iPhone 4. I didn't have this option when I purchased the iPhone 4 because the 4S
wasn't out at the time, and by the time you purchase your iPhone there will probably be about 10
other newer versions out. Of course I'm kidding but apple do tend to release a new iPhone every
year.
In this review I am going to be looking at the iPhone 4.
What's in the box?
If you're already a customer of Apple then you will know that most of their products come with the
bare minimum, the iPhone is no exception. Inside the box you will receive:
The iPhone 4
USB Connector Cable
Power Adaptor
Mini Sim Card
Should you buy an iPhone 4?
The answer of this question ultimately comes down to your preference. Personally I haven't yet
tried the iPhone 4S so I can't comment on how good that device is, however from looking at the
phones specifications and user reviews for the extra money you would pay for the 4S I think
personally I would prefer to save some money and stick with the iPhone 4.
Blackberry users thinking of making a switch should note that iPhone's now come with something
called iMessage, and basically it's a free way of communicating with other iPhone users just like
Blackberry messenger.
The iMessage feature really isn't that big of a deal to me as my network provider already gives me
unlimited texts in my price plan, but if you haven't got unlimited texts and you have a lot of friends
using an iPhone then this feature will save you a ton of money. iIMessage also allows you to send
images to your friends free of charge.
Processing Power of the iPhone 4
If you have done your research into mobile phones then you will know that some mobile phones
have dual cores, without getting two technical the more cores you have the better processing
power your phone is going to have. There are other factors that come into play such as the clock
speed of these cores but like I said for the purpose of this review I won't get too technical. The
iPhone 4 only has a 1GHZ single core processor whereas the newer model phones such as the
Samsung Galaxy 2 have 2 cores. This however shouldn't put you off as the iPhone will handle all
the tasks you want it to. I have only ever found the phone to go slow when you are running
multiple apps simultaneously.
iPhone 4 Phone Design
iPhone 3 and 3GS users will be used to their sleek looking device with the curved plastic back,
and I must admit I loved this design, so when the iPhone 4 came along with its rectangular and flat
design I was rather put off and thought initially that it was borderline ugly.
Without a phone case there is no question that I still prefer the feel to the 3GS over the 4 but with
a case I find the iPhone 4 easier to grip and it feels like a much more solid mobile phone.
The iPhone 4 is much different from its little brother the 3GS its much more compact but still
weights 137g, so you get a much smaller yet compact device that feels solid. The side of the
phone is stainless steel where the front and back are made out of some type of reinforced glass.
I have seen one review website saying that one of their employees has dropped this phone out of
a low level window and nothing happened to the phone, now sorry I don't believe this at all. Maybe
they wrapped the device in bubble wrap first and then tried it, but otherwise this device will crack.
Having said that if you drop this phone from your pocket to the ground then you shouldn't receive
any problems, but just to make sure I would recommend getting a cheap case off eBay or
somewhere like that.
iPhone 4 Camera
I have never used an iPhone camera previously to owning this iPhone 4 so I wasn't sure of the
quality that the phone would produce. On using the camera I very much like it, I think the quality of
image is great the colors are realistic and the built in flash is pretty good but can sometimes
overexpose the image. I often find myself using the built in flash as a torch with the iTorch4 app.
The HDR mode is also pretty cool and what this mode does is take 3 different exposure levels and
blend them together to give a cool looking image.
The high definition video recording is also something I wasn't expecting from a mobile phone and I
was surprised when I saw that the iPhone 4 had it. Once again the quality is excellent and Apple
has done a good job with implementing this into such a small device.
The iPhone 4 has 2 cameras built into it and I probably should have mentioned this earlier. One of
the cameras faces outwards and this is the camera I discussed above and one of the cameras
faces inwards. This camera is useful for the face time application. This application is like a
webcam that allows you to talk to other iPhone/iPad users. Face time allows both parties to see
each other and communicate. The camera that is used for this isn't as good as the main camera in
my opinion and often gives a darker and grainier picture.
iPhone 4 web browsing
Before owning the iPhone 4 I owned a blackberry curve 8900 and web browsing on that mobile
phone was painfully slow and quite often didn't even work. In fact I would say the Blackberry 8900
web capabilities were nonexistent. Upgrading to the iPhone was amazing. Now you may already
browse the web with a different mobile phone and it probably works well for you, but when you
have a device that never works and transfer to a device that is very quick and simply works I
assure you it is amazing.
The iPhone 4 displays websites in high definition and this is because of the "retina display" the
phone has. I have no idea what a retina display is, I simply know that the images on screen are
always sharp and crisp.
The iPhone 4 is also very quick when using the internet and this is because it has 3G and WiFi
connection capabilities.
The one problem that I do have with the iPhone is that it doesn't support the use of Flash files.
This means that the iPhone doesn't display any flash movie and seeing that YouTube is full of
flash movies then it becomes a problem. One way around this is the YouTube app for the iPhone.
YouTube have started to convert their movies so that they will work on the iPhone, but because of
the amount of files on their website this is going to take time. The YouTube app works fine but I
find that often the videos that I search for don't appear in the way they would if you search online.
An example of this is if you searched for "The Beatles" then you would get a ton of song covers
before any of the songs performed by The Beatles.
Battery Life
As I mentioned above, previous to owning this phone I owned a Blackberry 8900 and although that
phone was rubbish the battery life was pretty good. I could easily go a day and half without
charging it, with the iPhone this isn't the case.
If you listen to music, write on Facebook/Twitter, check your emails and play on your apps then
you are going to drain your battery down. The iOS 5 update also uses up more battery power
again, but don't be alarmed, I use my phone all day and have never run out yet, although I have
come pretty close.
The iPhone 4 will generally need to be charged at least once a day if you're a heavy user like me.
iPhone 4 conclusion
The iPhone 4 is a great touch screen mobile phone that has great internet and media capabilities.
The best thing about any iPhone is the wide range of applications that are available to download
for it. Being a student I get to commute a lot and because of this I often use my iPhone and my
Kindle to keep myself amused. The wide range of apps available allows me to pass the time
without thinking of the traveling I'm doing.
Final Word
The iPhone 4 does it all and I really don't see the need to update to the 4S, save your money and
enjoy this great smart phone. After all no one will know whether you have the 4 or 4S as they are
both identical to look at. Thanks for reading my iPhone 4 review, for more technology and gadget
