Apple keeps wowing their customers with their cellular devices that seem to do it all, or at least offer an app that can do it for you. The Apple iPhone 4 is a multimedia cell phone that is full of features that will keep you connected, updated and a little bit smarter. The Apple iPhone 4 is our TopTenREVIEWS Gold Award for its FaceTime video chat, multitasking capabilities and HD video recording.
Design:
This Apple multimedia cell phone is designed with the average person in mind. It is built to be durable and to hold up under any conditions. The Apple iPhone 4 is built between aluminosilicate glass. According to Apple, this is the same type of glass that is used in high-speed trains and the windshields of helicopters. Just by holding the device, you can feel the durability and the strength the device has. If you are one of the many individuals who tend to drop their phone and have shattered several front screens, this phone may be worth looking at as it will hold up a little better than other devices.
The beautiful retina display featured on the iPhone 4 multimedia cell phone gives you clear, stunning images. This makes it the ideal device if you are using your phone to watch movies or TV shows, or even to capture photos or videos. The retina display features a 960 x 640 LCD display. This display makes the colors pop, and the clarity it provides won’t be found on any other cellular device.
Not only is the retina display stunning and the colors amazing, but the multimedia cell phone provides a multi-touch display. This allows you to navigate throughout the phone by using just your fingers. The Apple iPhone 4 features pinch-to-zoom capabilities and the ability to use two fingers to tap an icon. The multi-touch capabilities make this device responsive; we normally experienced no waiting time for the phone to respond to our commands.
Call Features/Quality:
First and foremost, your multimedia cell phone must be a high-quality telephone. Making calls easily and hearing the person on the other end clearly is crucial. The iPhone 4 features a microphone on the top of the device. This microphone features technology to suppress unwanted noise coming from the background. We found this feature especially ideal when talking in loud, crowded places like if you need to make a quick call during a sporting event or in a busy store.
Making a phone call on this multimedia cell phone is simple and is more than just searching through a list of contacts. To make a call, you simply tap on a text message, a website or your contact list. If you want, you can make a phone call by simply saying a name or number. There are a number of voice commands you can use to navigate the phone without ever having to touch the screen.
Searching through long lists of contacts can be a pain when you're trying to find that one phone number. Just by using your fingers, you can quickly scroll through the list or contacts on the Apple iPhone 4. You can also use the search feature at the top of the contact page that will direct you to the one name you are looking for. The contact list gives you the ability to add photos to all your contacts and include personal information such as email, customized ringtones and addresses.
Battery Life/Memory:
The iPhone 4 has a long battery life; it provides users with up to seven hours of talk time and six hours of internet use on 3G. The standby time on this device provides the user with up to 300 hours and up to 40 hours of audio playback. We're very impressed with the battery life on this device, especially when you consider the sheer number of features and the extremely high-res display that can seriously consume battery power.
The Apple iPhone 4 multimedia cell phone is available with either 16GB or 32GB of storage space. It features the Apple A4 chip, which is what allows the device to multitask, use FaceTime and record video or edit images. This chip allows you to perform numerous features all while saving the battery life.
Additional Features:
The operating system on this multimedia cell phone is the iOS 4. This operating system features an easy-to-use interface that makes it easy to find the tasks and apps you're looking for. And with the multi-touch capabilities, you can arrange everything by tapping, dragging, swiping and flicking on the intuitive touchscreen. We were pleased to see the iOS 4 is not only designed to help enhance your entertainment pleasure but is also designed to meet the needs for business tasks, such as a calendar and email.
FaceTime is just one of the many features that make the iPhone 4 stand apart from other multimedia cell phones and even from earlier iPhone incarnations. FaceTime allows you to have a face-to-face conversation with an individual on the other side of the world. If you're on a business trip or other excursion, FaceTime makes it possible for you to see your son’s basketball game or your daughter’s piano recital hundreds of miles away. FaceTime works through the phone’s Wi-Fi capabilities.
The camera on the Apple iPhone 4 multimedia cell phone features a 5MP (megapixel) main camera. Aside from the 5MP camera, this device features a VGA front camera needed for FaceTime. The device also captures beautiful HD video. The video can be captured up to 30 frames per second, and this Apple phone is designed with two microphones which help capture crisp, clear audio. People will be amazed you captured the video on your phone instead of with a camcorder.
Of course, the iPhone possesses iPod capabilities. It contains all of the features found on your iPod such as the ability to scroll through songs, artists and albums. It allows you to create playlists, download movies and buy music and video directly from the iTunes store.
Summary:
Just when you think there isn’t much more that can be added to a cellular device, Apple proves you wrong. With video chat capabilities, a 5MP main camera, HD video recording capabilities and an iPod built directly onto the Apple iPhone 4, you have all the multimedia features you need for your entertainment desires and business needs.
