Today I want to share with you my point of view on the latest Apple iPhone 4. I did a review on the first generation iPhone 2G on 2007, and honestly I am not impressed with it, poor cam, bluetooth does not support A2DP, no multitask support, no copy and paste function… and no full Apps Store in Singapore.
This time round I decided to give Apple iPhone 4 a shot again due to its improved hardware specs and App Store. After using it for a few weeks now, I must say its good, I am no Apple fanboy but its better than lets say Nokia N97mini how about that.
Things I like about Apple iPhone 4
- Retina display on iPhone 4 is really clear and sharp
- Multitasking functions
- Support bluetooth A2DP and bluetooth headset control with iOS4.1
- 5 MP auto focus camera with HDR and HD video recording
- Front camera
- Smooth touch screen
- Apple Apps Stores
- Navigation functions
Multitask function
Switch between apps quickly.
The multitasking user interface allows you to quickly switch between recently used apps. Just double-click the Home button to reveal your recently used apps. Scroll right to see more apps, then tap one to reopen it. No need to wait for the app to reload.
And pick up right where you left off.
Apps can remember where you left off. So when you return to the app, you can jump right back into playing your game, reading the news, finding a restaurant, or whatever you were doing. check out here for more info
Like always Apple iPhone 4 also come in a very simple boxed packaging. It come with the follwoing:
- iPhone 4
- USB AC power adaptor
- USB cable
- 3.5mm Stereo headset with mic
I like the new design of iPhone 4 as it is very simple and seamlessly flat, easy on the pocket good on the hand. The build of the body feel very solid.
Side view: silent switch and volume up and down buttons
Rear view: Mic, charge/sync port and speaker
Side view: micro-SIM slot
Top View: power on button, noise cancellation port, 3.5mm port
Back View: 5MP camera with LED flash
Things I dont like about iPhone is that you cannot change your SMS tones without jailbreaking it and changing its ringtone is not as direct as lets say on a Nokia phone, but I believe these will be enable with the next firmware update (cant believe it its such a basic function yet is not available). Another thing is that it really depend a lot on iTune from adding music to adding ringtones. Another basic functions is creating new folders for your photo on your iPhone is also not as direct its another basic function yet you have to work on it on your PC but for Mac user its will be much easier for them everything is automatically create and sync. Battery life well i guess almost every smartphone with a big screen have this problem.
In conclusion if you are still deciding if you wanna invest on iPhone 4 I will ask you to go ahead if you are someone who do a lot online, as iPhone 4 enable you to stay connected on Facebook, eBay, MSN, email and many more social networking programs. It is easy to use and there are endless program you can obtain from Apple Apps Store, in fact there are many free program you can install from games to entertainment to utilities. It is a good music player, entertainment device, a phone and a PDA. But if you are someone who want full control of your phone from creating folders to customizing your personal ringtones and interface then you will have to jailbreak it or check out other OS like meego and Android.
