The design and style of the phone is just as cool as the list of features that it will be offering. The iPhone 4 makes use of flat surfaces and has a stainless steel band going around the edge of the phone. This helps to make the iPhone 4 a real designer looking gadget with real appeal. The iPhone 4 measure just 9.3mm and will be available in 16GB or 32GB, with a colour choice of black or white. So the same as previous model really. Video calling is now enabled for you and users can switch between the front facing self-portrait digital camera and back facing scenic digital camera for when you want to make video calls to friends, family or workmates.


The iOS4 operating system, will be able to deliver true multitasking for the iPhone. Applications can be moved into separate folders in you mobile phone and voice activated commands will offer a better way to control you handset. A unified inbox, will be able to record and store all of your incoming messages in one place. Whilst the Safari Web browser lets you go anywhere on the web you would ever want to go to.

The 5 megapixel camera promises excellent pictures and includes a LED flash, geo-tagging and touch-to-focus. Whilst the HD video recorder captures 720p video at around 30 frames per second. The LED flash is a much welcome addition and will allow you to take better quality pictures in poor lighting conditions. Any of you movie fans out there, can not only create their own movies, but additionally edit them and add transitional effects with the iMovie application and software bundle. To be honest, there are still mobile phones with better cameras, like the Nokia N8. However, this is still a vast improvement on what was offered by Apple in older models.

You will also have some other top new features, like 3D movement controlled gaming (great if you are a video game fan), iBooks, like on the iPad and latest music and video downloads from iTunes can also be enjoyed in a improved format. These can also be easily transferred over form your current iPod player. The good news here is that enjoying these features to the fullest doesn't cause the battery any issues. This is because the performance has been increased by 40%, when compared with earlier versions of the iPhone. Great news, because the older battery was not that great and drained after less than one day's usage. When time comes to step away from the virtual world provided by the iphone 4, A-GPS, maps and a digital compass guarantees the iPhone will be so valuable to you when you are no the move.

In total, Apple have made more than 100 changes to the new iPhone compared to the old 3GS model. Whilst many have been minor changes, the major changes could be enough to convince existing customer to upgrade and will definitely entice new customers over to this Apple product.
