The new iPhone 4 design have made this the thinnest smartphone ever

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-

No memory card slot to expand storage
Siri
The “personal assistant” found on the 4S

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

The lingering question remains: despite the Steve Jobs hype and the Apple marketing, does the iPhone 4 continue to innovate or has the increasingly competitive smartphone market caught up to Cupertino's finest? There's no denying that, while the first-gen...
Abstract: The iPhone 3GS provided several incremental upgrades over its predecessor, but without any significant evolution in overall design. The first three generations share the same external form of the original iPhone released three years ago. In that same...
I'm pleased with the iPhone 4. It's hard to write complaints when Apple just keeps making the phone better and better. Nowadays though, there is more competition than ever. I personally like competition, because then the companies strive to make the b...

Abstract: How can a flawed iPhone be the best yet? Here's how:Advertisement***I'm at dinner. The waitress is slow to take our order. I don't mind. I reach into my pocket for the iPhone 4. It seems like the fifth time I'm doing this tonight. It's probably the fiftee...
Screen Looks Fantastic, HD Video, Mulitasking added, Improved Form Factor, Email Message Threading
Still only AT&T in the States, Anecdotal antenna issues found, SMS tones still not fully customizable
The iPhone 4 is a great device, one which hasn’t left my side since I received it. Transitioning from my iPhone 3G to the iPhone 4 is analogous to driving in the mud to racing down the Autobahn at full speed. Apps such as the Navigon Mobile Navigator ...
Three years ago, when the iPhone was first released, I said it was easy to see why it would be a huge hit. It wasn't just the first convergence device to be brilliantly useful; it was also the first such device to be useful without requiring that its ...
Here are the downsides to the iPhone 4: The glass on the front or back may break if you drop it, though that's not a particularly new development in iPhone land. FaceTime chats only work with other iPhone 4 users for now, and may not work well if you ...
Speedy A4 CPU, 3.5" Retina Display, Native Multi-Tasking, Great Battery Life, Internet Tethering Support
No Orientation Lock Or Camera Physical Button, AT&T Is The Only U.S. Carrier, Tethering Requires Lousy Data Plan, Cannot Customize Lock Screen, Reception Issues
The iPhone 4 is an impressive device, there's just no two ways about it. The hardware design isn't drastically different, but Apple's subtle changes are significant in terms of impact. The antenna system has been overhauled, though you may need a case if...
Abstract: The iPhone 4 isn't perfect, but speeds and performance are impressive. Here's how Tom's Guide sees iPhone 4 a few hours after taking it out of the box. The front and back of the phone is now made up of "Gorilla Glass," made by Corning. Corning, a lead...
