100/100

"...there's no doubt that iPhone 4 is a hugely impressive smartphone. It corrects key flaws in the previous model – particularly the battery life – and is one of the most user-friendly handsets when it comes to shooting hi-res video. The screen also sets new standards for smartphones." 5/5 Stars

"Call quality too has been improved. The iPhone 4 seems louder, less wishy washy and clearer than Apple’s earlier efforts. You could pin that improvement on its inclusion of a secondary mic for noise cancellation, but it still struggled a little as we made a call from a hectic train station." 5/5 Stars

"The iPhone has almost as many pixels into a screen a quarter of the size. Pictures are full of details while screen text has never looked this good. In fact, you can read a webpage while fully zoomed out – if your eyesight's good enough." 5/5 Stars

"Everything is more crisp. I tap out a message and the new keyboard noises make the old 3GS keyboard noises seem muddy. The speakers themselves are more clear as well, but a little softer."

"This time around, Apple decided to make the single home button feel more springy than what we experienced previously. In fact, this actually applies to all of the physical hardware buttons found on the phone as every single one of them has that solid tactile feel." 9.5/10

"Is it better than the previous iPhone 3GS? Yes - by a country mile. Is it better than the HTC Desire? In some ways yes, in some ways no... the iPhone 4 hits higher points but thanks to the reception issue hits lower points too. Essentially it comes down to a straight choice: are you interested in the geek chicness of the rapidly-improving Android, or are you all over the slick iPhone eco-system? You won't be disappointed by the iPhone 4 by any means... " 4.5/5 Stars

"We can't overstate how high-end the design of the iPhone 4 is. The 3GS now feels cheap and chubby by comparison, and even a phone like the HTC Droid Incredible -- which just came out -- seems last-generation." 9/10

"The improvements in the speed and the display of the iPhone 4 makes for a much better all round experience. It is a measurable improvement on the 3G and 3GS and probably even slightly outperforms the top-of-the range Android phones…" 4/5

"...those who don't mind covering the antenna with a rubber bumper or case will buy a very capable smartphone. It doesn't multitask like a BlackBerry and it isn't customisable like an Android, but the iPhone is slick, fast and supported by the largest of the applications stores. Just remember to take a look at last year's iPhone 3GS before you commit to the new iPhone 4; it may not be the latest gadget on the shelves, but it very nearly matches the newer model's performance and you'll pick it up on a cheaper plan." 8/10

"It just seems some features will be forever missing. The iPhone’s memory isn’t expandable and you can’t use the thing as an external drive (this also means that files are only transferred via iTunes, again)"

Apple iPhone 4 16GB Review

iPhone 4 Review

iPhone 4;

The iPhone has been and still is the poster-child for the smartphone revolution. Its iconic design, multi-touch screen and simple user interface (UI) have become the template for an entire booming industry. Anyone who has a modern smartphone has, in part, the iPhone to thank for it.

The latest iteration is the iPhone 4. It sports a 5MP camera with LED flash, 720p HD video recording, video calls and a super high-res retinal display. You can get it on just about every carrier network and it’s surprisingly cheap on a 24 month plan. As far as memory goes customers have 2 choices: 16GB or 32GB. No, the memory is not expandable and this is a flaw, but the average user will be hard pressed to fill 16 GB of space on their phone, let alone 32.

The iPhone 4 is, despite a lot of media criticism, a great smartphone. It’s fast, sleek and offers hundreds of thousands of apps from its App Store. The loudest complaint you’ll hear about the iPhone will be to do with its lack of Flash compatibility. This is a minor concern in the grand scheme of things.

Sure, the iPhone doesn’t support Flash right now. In truth it may never. But currently, even the best phones with Flash support (read: Android v2.2 smartphones) do an extremely haphazard job of Flash support that ends up slowing down browser speed significantly. Many Android users end up turning off Flash support within hours of receiving it.

iPhone 4;

Apple has also received complaints about the phone’s casing. It seems Apple decided that it was a great idea to make their newest brainchild out of glass. While most people would agree that the iPhone 4 is a good-looking phone, in retrospect glass was probably a bad idea. The phone does ship with a free rubber cover that runs around the edge, but it’s not because of the glass issue.

Some customers have encountered problems with reception. This is due to the iPhone 4’s external antenna. Can’t see it? It’s that silver lining around the edge of the phone. The issue here is that apparently then the phone is held in a certain way callers will find their reception disappearing. The free rubber cover is meant to fix all of this, which it does. However, this particular problem doesn’t surface for most iPhone 4 customers. Perhaps some people are just more disruptive to phone signals than others.

Despite these issues the iPhone 4 is a great, solid smartphone. Unlike many other smartphones it still feels like a phone when you’re scrolling through menus, rather than a jittery palm-sized computer. Its UI is easy to use and extremely responsive, its camera takes great photos and it has just about every other smartphone feature you’d really want.

If you’re new to the smartphone market and are looking for an easy-in, or even if you’re a smartphone veteran who’s thinking of making the shift, it’s definitely worth having a play around with one of these before you buy online. There’s actually a reason that everyone seems to have an iPhone 4 and it’s not because they all love Steve Jobs.
