The new iPhone 4 design have made this the thinnest smartphone ever
At 9.3mm. The front and back have been given a gorgeous glass finish that makes it feel like the poshest smartphone on the market too.The Retina display screen is perhaps the most noticeable improvement – the 960×640 pixel screen is the sharpest we've seen on a mobile. Some apps have already been updated to make use of the high-

The editors didn't like
No memory card slot to expand storage
Siri
The “personal assistant” found on the 4S
Is not present
MicroSIM only
Dependence on iTunes to put media on to the device
Be the first to get the iPhone 7
Apple's beautiful new iPhone has finally arrived –
FaceTime only works with other iPhones
Non-removable battery
High SIM-free price
Rating
Hand placement can disrupt mobile signals
Glass front and back could prove overly fragil
Not able to play back HD video to external display.
Antenna issues
Some iOS 5 features are missing
No expandable storage
Reception issue in left hand
High price
No home screen widgets
No social networking integration
Still no card slot
Apps need updating
Autocorrect text annoying
Battery life still not great
Evolution rather than revolution
You're still given virtually no control over your photos – no quality choice
No ISO selection
Which is a shame. Similarly
Video eschews any advanced controls.Apple is still not willing to give the user as much freedom as
Say
Android users.There have also been reported antenna issues
But Apple may soon be releasing a software update to address these.
ITunes integration is still sluggish
FaceTime is WiFi only
And HD video chomps through memory
Not as customisable as the likes of Android smartphones
Multitasking sees some apps pausing rather than running in the background.
Reception drops when you hold it in a certain way (reception display issue?)
FaceTime can only be used over WiFi and with other iPhone 4 users
Abstract: The HTC Desire HD and the iPhone 4 are two of the most hotly anticipated smartphone releases we’ve seen this year, along with the Samsung Galaxy S (stat clash incoming!), so we’ve pitched the iPhone 4 and the newly announced HTC Desire HD against one a...
So two months down the line I remain besotted and bemused by the iPhone 4. It is without doubt the best iPhone Apple has made, yet also perhaps the most careless. Its redesign is exciting and durable (I've experienced virtually no wear and tear), but t...
Abstract: First things first. Let's deal with the reception issues associated with the iPhone 4. Unfortunately, the fact Apple CEO Steve Jobs initially denied any problems with the antenna, then said other smartphone manufacturers had similar issues, did not hel...
Nor did the fact he told us we were holding it wrong. There were those who watched gleefully as Jobs ate humble pie at an Apple press conference where it was announced that 'bumpers', or covers, would be given free of charge to iPhone 4 owners in order...
Overall I absolutely love my iPhone 4. I always carry two phones as I have a work phone as well as my personal one so I currently have the best of both worlds. I use my BlackBerry 9700 for all email, instant messaging and Facebook/Twitter notifications...
Abstract: It's hard to think of any consumer electronics product whose reputation has changed for the worst after its release as the iPhone 4. The latest edition of the phone was released in June to pre-orders that increased tenfold of the previous version, sel...
Abstract: The fourth version of the iPhone departs from the look of the earlier models’ design. The rounded case has gone, replaced with squared-off edges (although the corners are still rounded) and a stainless steel band that rings the case.The band serves sev...

Gorgeous high-resolution screen, fast A4 processor with lots of RAM, easy-to-use, FaceTime videoconferencing, 5-megapixel camera takes great stills and good HD video, longer battery life than previous iPhones , support for iOS 4 features, including multitasking.
Hand placement can disrupt mobile signals, glass front and back could prove overly fragil, not able to play back HD video to external display.
The tech world has changed in the year between the announcement of the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4. In the intervening time, Apple released the iPad, and created a whole new way for people to interact with iOS apps. As someone who has both an iPhone and a...
Some say the iPhone 4 is the best iPhone yet. I'm not so sure. It ought to be, and on paper it certainly is, but in the flesh it isn't. This is Apple's third iPhone design, yet it feels in some ways like its first. Fixes may come, but for now this is ...
