iPhone 4 16GB Review

The Apple iPhone 4 16GB is a device that takes mobile technology to the next level. This mobile phone is innovative and attractive enough that it’s already miles ahead of the competition.

With the iPhone 4 16GB you get a stylish mobile that is superior to past iPhone models on several levels, including its high quality build. When you hold this phone in your hand it feels solid. Although the iPhone 4G does maintain the same basic design, there are some slight differences, such as the corners seem a little sharper.

The Apple iPhone 4 16GB is thinner and narrower than the 3G iPhone; this phone measures 2.31 x 2.44 x 0.37 inches and weighs 4.8 ounces. There design of the iPhone 4G is more elegant than what we have seen from previous iPhones; the front and back of the device is covered with a specially treated glass that makes it resistant to fingerprints and scratches.

On the front of the iPhone 4 16GB is a 3.5-inch screen that has twice the resolution of the iPhone 3GS, which makes quite a difference when viewing web pages and pictures. Text is clear and easy to read, though you might still experience some difficulties reading on this phone due to the relatively small screen size.

The Apple iPhone 4 16GB runs the iOS 4 operating system; this is the same operating system used for the iPad. Some of the improvements that come with this new platform include multitasking and a 5-megapixel camera that features LED flash and 5X zoom. Along with taking still photos, the camera that comes built in to the iPhone 4G can also record video in HD. In addition, there is a front facing camera that is used for FaceTime video calling. The quality of the photos and video is great, but the video quality is reduced when you record in low lighting.

Call quality and reception is improved with the Apple iPhone 4 16GB. Callers sound clear, and there are no dropped calls, though the reception that you get will largely depend on where you are.

If you have an original iPhone or an iPhone 3GS you will certainly want to upgrade to the new iPhone 4G; this is the first iPhone that truly comes with some noteworthy advancements in both performance, and hardware.

Although the Apple iPhone 4 16GB is a fantastic smartphone, there are several Android phones that can almost compete and may be worth looking at as well.
