iPhone is the best mobile phone I have ever owned. I held off on buying the iPhone for the first three generations because it is locked to AT&T in the USA and you can only acquire apps through Apple’s proprietary App Store. This sort of closed platform was a real put-off to me (and still is), but when it came time to buy a new mobile phone (my old one was dying) I knew there was only one choice. So I bit the bullet and got an iPhone 4.
It’s d**n near perfect. I can’t speak for the small percentage of users having the infamous antenna problem because it has not affected me, and I strongly suspect the press is blowing that issue out of proportion to drive traffic to their websites or whatever. Don’t pay too much attention to that though because even the best technology is still not perfect. The iPhone 4 is not perfect, but it IS the best technology in the mobile phone market today. Apple takes great care to ensure that its products will be intuitive and user-friendly. Compare the touch functionality of the Droid to that of the iPhone and you will know what I’m talking about. Apple also owns the patents on such unique technology, so don’t expect the Droid to surpass the iPhone anytime soon.
With this 4th generation model we have seen more new features introduced than ever before. First of all, the Retina Display is a pleasure to use and once you use it you will come to view all lower resolution displays as sub-standard. The resolution bump in the outward-facing camera as well as the introduction of a user-facing camera is what really sold me on this product. The boost in battery life assures that you will no longer need to worry about your iPhone’s battery dying half-way through the day – unless you do a LOT of gaming on it! It utilizes the A4 chip, same as the iPad, so it’s plenty fast. It is thinner and lighter than previous models, the volume controls and vibrate switch have been made more durable, it has a built-in gyroscope, supports FaceTime video chat and on-the-go video editing via the iMovie app.
Consider whether to buy the 16GB version or the 32GB version. Since I have a large iTunes library I chose the 32 and am glad I did. Calculate the sum of your photos, music, and your videos, then leave some room for apps and that should give you an idea of which model to buy. The 32GB version is roughly $100 more.
