IPHONE4
The iPhone 4 is a slate smartphone designed and developed by Apple. It is the
fourth generation of iPhone, and successor to the iPhone 3GS. It is particularly
marketed for video calling, and consumption of media such as books and periodicals,
movies, music, and games; and for general web and e-mail access. It was announced
on June 7, 2010 at the WWDC 2010 at the Moscone Center, San Francisco, and was released
on June 24, 2010 in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Japan.
The iPhone 4 runs Apple's iOS operating system, the same operating system as used
on previous iPhones, the iPad, and the iPod Touch. It is primarily controlled by
a user's fingertips on the multi-touch display, which is sensitive to fingertip
contact. Without modification, the iPhone restricts users from running any software
that is not explicitly approved by Apple and distributed via its App Store. Doing
so could potentially cause issues with software functionality which may not be covered
under warranty.
The most noticeable difference between the iPhone 4 and its predecessors is the
new design, which incorporates an uninsulated stainless steel frame that acts as
the device's antenna. The internal components of the device are situated between
two panels of chemically strengthened aluminosilicate glass. It has an Apple A4
processor and 512 MB of eDRAM, twice that of its predecessor and four times that
of the original iPhone. Its 3.5 inches (89 mm) LED backlit liquid crystal display
with an increased 960-by-640 pixel resolution is marketed as the "Retina Display".
Some iPhone 4 buyers have reported signal reduction when the phone is held in certain
ways, especially in the left hand, as the antenna problem is in the bottom left
corner of the phone's side casing. The company has offered customers a free case
until September 30, 2010, or a refund within 30 days of purchase.
