iPhone 4G
Well, this happen. Many of people waited him - and he’s here. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you iPhone 4G.
So, what’s the point about new version? First, of course, is design. It’s become slimmer, some angular from the sides, and, of course, look beautiful.
Steve Jobs, one of the founders of Apple, saying that’s new iPhone have exactly one hundred of new features and improvements. After a week of using iPhone 4G I can say - yes, it have one hundred, one thousand or more of new features.
When creating new version of the iPhone, developers considered many iPhone 3G users’ complaints, so - iPhone 4G now have a front camera, flash to main camera, ability of recording a video (high resolution, by the way), brand new display and performance, increased in a several times. By the way, it’s thickness is only 9.3 mm - so we can say that it’s a slimmest smartphone in the world!
- iPhone 4G
The body now is made of aluminium, and (more important) now iPhone have it’s own sides! This means that now it’s have a side buttons, which is very comfortable to use. You can see them in an image to the right - just click on it.
Technical characteristics is very interesting too:
OS: iOS4 (new version of iOS with many improvements)
Memory: 16Gb/32Gb
Camera: main - 5 Mpx, LED flash, autofocus; front - VGA
Wireless: Wi-Fi b/g/n
Video record: 720p
And this is not full list, as you can see.
As I can say, iPhone 4G is a good continue in an iPhone story. It’s sales around the world totally confirms my words.
