The Apple iPhone 4 proves to be as popular as expected

One of the most hyped new communications devices in recent history is the Apple iPhone 4. It’s smaller than its predecessor, the iPhone 3GS, but has a more powerful processor, more memory, and a longer battery life. These features alone make it a significant improvement over previous models, but they also help define the special qualities that put it a step above the competition.

Engineers have come up with a way to make the unit 34% thinner than before. Although the weight has been slightly increased (3 grams), there has been no loss of computing power; with two processors installed, one exclusively to handle the outstanding graphics displayed on the 3.5-inch LCD screen. With a staggering 960 by 640 pixel resolution, the resolution has been increased fourfold over the current model. This gives users a graphical interface that is much more pleasing to the eye. There’s no need to squint at the Apple iPhone 4, as the clarity and sharpness of the icons on the screen are very easy to see.

Another update is the physical size of the drive itself. Measuring 4.5 x 2.31 x 0.37 inches respectively, this media device features a black glass composite cover that is many times more scratch resistant than ever. The stainless steel trim acts not only as a decorative component, but also helps with the rigidity of the case, while also doubling as part of the antenna. Apple’s iPhone 4 designers feel this will help with 3G and Wi-Fi reception capabilities. That’s been a major problem area for cell phone users, who can’t get a reliable signal in many areas.

Another improvement is in the battery area. A constant complaint among people who use this type of technology is the amount of time of use before the power runs out. Apple has come up with a larger unit that, along with the rest of the electronics, now offers up to 40% more uptime. Some of its claims include: 7 hours on 3G, 10 hours when browsing Wi-Fi, and a standby period of 300 hours. These features alone would make most people very happy.

This phone has addressed many of the top consumer complaints and with the updates installed makes it the perfect choice for personal or business use. It’s the way technology should be used and it’s a great business accessory.
