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

Excellent call and data service; mobile hot-spot feature; long battery life
Can't use voice and data concurrently; won't support 4G service
