iPhone 4 in the web standards test

Desire to bear on the fact that Apple hype by small quantities and market fuels the start. The mobile operators have to start only a few thousand. Customers must pre-order fixed on or register. Under the motto "you want to apply, you do not often", the device is thus immediately sold out. Whether the fourth generation of the first time in 2007 Smartphones launched so good in fact, as customer demand and the media hype suggest? The web standard has tested it. I am here to collect more information about the iPhone 4. And I am sure that you members will help me by providing some useful details of the same.

The main technical features were thanks Gizmodo before the official launch announced the sake of completeness, the most important key figures are mentioned briefly here again. IPhone 4 has a 3.5-inch multi-touch display, a 1-GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, 16 or 32 GB of memory, a 5-megapixel camera on the back and a VGA camera on the front. GPS, WiFi 802.11b/g/n and Bluetooth 2.1 are also available on the device that works in GSM, EDGE, UMTS and HSPA networks. One of the highlights is the hardware screen, Apple has missed the name of retinal display. At 3.5 inches it is not the largest display on the market, but the resolution of 960 x 640 pixels from the competition is currently unmatched. As Apple has already promised at the presentation are visible to the naked eye actually no pixels on the screen. This is not just a marketing gimmick. The high resolution makes text on your phone display much more readable than on other devices. Even in very small font size, the letters stay razor sharp. The retinal display is to read news or books is currently the best smartphone display. A departure from the previous version of the iPhone 3G is 4, the design. With dimensions of 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3 mm, the device weighs 137 grams, despite the large display is very compact. As usual, is on the front only the Home button. At the top of a 3.5 mm headphone jack and the on / off or standby button are located. On the left side there are two buttons for volume and a slider to make the device sound. Instead of a micro-USB port, Apple uses its own dock connector. Hope that you got some help from this post. :thumbup1:

The slightly rounded back is a flat surface made of special glass (from aluminosilicate) given way that makes the front and back are almost identical. Edged the equipment in a stainless steel frame, in the same time the antenna is integrated. The design of the device is significantly reduced and now fits with Apple's other products, such as MacBooks and iMacs. Whether you like the design or not is a matter of taste. Apple has certainly ensured that its iPhone is back to a higher recognition value after the smartphones from other manufacturers to optically previous iPhones were more similar. In the hand feels the combination of glass and stainless steel cooler and smooth. The back cover is, as usual, do not remove the battery is permanently mounted. The MicroSim card is inserted through a small slot on the right.

The critical point is a small black stripe on the lower left side of the case. Indeed, it was the loss of signal strength could also be adopted in the test. In the T-Mobile network got the unit one or two signal bars. In areas with very poor mobile coverage, it might therefore appear to be reception problems. However, to say that the critical point in a normal position need not necessarily covered. This is more the case when you hold the phone not only as the tester on the phone with three or four fingers, but it encloses the whole hand. Held so a loss of signal power but also the HTC Desire could be traced. Customer reports that the total signal loss in normal farming, could, at least not be confirmed. Who are the mobile phone actually so holds that it covers the antenna can point in Apple to order a free protective cover. Well managed, the folder in which to collect Apps. It has long been on an app icon to click and drag it to another. Depending on the Apps folder a suitable name is proposed, such as "social networks" for Twitter and Facebook apps. The name can be chosen freely. In a folder, twelve Apps place. In the thumbnail view of folders, however, only nine icons are displayed. A maximum of 180 folders can be created for up to 2160 apps. This limit should be set high enough to get by Heavy App User with the court.

As mentioned above Apple has given the iPhone 4 to 1 GHz strong A4-processor that performs well in the iPad his work. Together with the 512 MB memory, the smartphone is very fast. This can be seen as the opening of websites, the scroll and the performance of apps noticeable. The camera triggers very quickly. The performance must also bring the iPhone 4, because the support for multitasking and editing HD video, the unit make a lot more work to do. For faster surfing with WLAN and the n-standard and calls for environmental noise is filtered out better thanks to new noise-canceling microphone. The most important innovation is to support multitasking. That leaves third-party apps also open in the background. Double-clicking the Home button opens at the bottom of the screen a bar in which all open programs are lined up. A longer holding a small minus sign icons appear with each program, through which applications can be closed. There are only four icons in the row space, you have to wipe from the right edge to the left to get the icons of other apps open to light. A wiping from left to right edge promotes the iPod widget to day about that one button for play / pause, forward and rewind can call. This allows you to control the iPod, even if you just open another application. This solution proves to be impractical in everyday use, however, as something. A constantly available widgets on lock-and home-screen would be more practical.

Both multitasking and the folders are in older versions of iPhone OS - such as the iPad, which receives the update until later - now sorely missed, if you've tried iOS4 once. The setting options are limited to the iPhone very simple and intuitive to use, remains more in-depth insights and interventions are not possible. So save on iOS4 to access the folder structure in the apps settings and data, not possible. The fact that Flash is not supported, is probably well known. The minimum contract period is for two-party 24 months. At lower basic charges of the equipment price will increase accordingly.

Plus Points are awarded for the camera, which now offers a resolution of five megapixels and a LED flash and a tap allows focusing on photographic and video recordings. As the two test photos (see left) show the photo quality is good both in daylight and at night with flash. The quality of HD video requires a comparison not shy with a consumer camcorder. The colors are strong and the focus by tapping works well, even in macro photography. In addition, you can edit videos with the (charged) directly on the iPhone App iMovie 4 and upload to the web. The biggest drawback is, like most phone cameras, the lack of optical zoom. Also, could the iPhone camera, some manual controls for exposure, white balance or ISO tolerated. From the VGA camera on the front should not expect too much. This is ostensibly intended only for video telephony via Face Time, even if it can also take normal photos. were lack of a second iPhone 4-test set, we try not Face Time, but this feature has implemented solid. To take advantage of Face Time, you have to tap only the Face Time button at the desired contact - no additional setup is required. Apple's video calls work only on WiFi. Whether the previously scorned by users video telephony takes off with it is to be doubted, however.

Improvements over the 3G Apple will have made in battery life according to own data. The talk time, Apple with up to seven hours on 3G and 14 hours on 2G networks. The standby time should be up to 300 hours. In terms of Internet usage, the iPhone 4 to six hours on 3G and hold up to ten hours with WLAN. Anyone who listens only to music, use your phone up to 40 hours, there should be videos ten hours. Such information should always be treated with caution, since the battery is tested under laboratory conditions. In the test, a full battery charge was for very intensive use something more than a day. Intensive use in this case and getting frequent surfing social network updates, consistently activated WLAN, longer listening to music and games as well as several photo and video recordings. Is the hype around the iPhone that is 4 now justified, or simply sit buyers only Apple's brilliant marketing machine? The new iPhone especially impressed by the brilliant display and performance.

The discussion in the forum making, it seems more and more that it is Apple and their products now definitely is a religion - in which some believe is now flat and others do not (usually see emotional). I find it a positive reading from an (apparently normal) Licensees whose experience and opinions on a Smartphone (the stop is random in the case of Apple and there is nothing special, if you leave out the hype, but simply a product with strengths and weaknesses, as well as other manufacturers). That the last product put on the market usually technical (short) has the lead (display, processor, etc.) is surely not more remarkable, is not it? But why should we be concerned about censorship, freedom and democracy in mind when you get a display so hot, is not it? :whistling I know both and am very satisfied and happy with my iphone 3g.
