Social networks,Apple iPhone 4 - Providing Groundbreaking Technology Articles Twitter accounts, Digg pages and YouTube video reviews; almost every social platform available to Apple iPhone owners was utilized to facilitate a worldwide discussion.

The topic? What needed to be improved upon in the iPhone’s exterior makeup and interior operating system. Users complained of non-existent video-capturing features, no zoom feature, no front-facing camera, low resolution pictures, no option for a customizable homepage wallpaper, and the notorious exclusion of MMS messaging if the 3G version. Apple listened to its customers, and decided to include as many new features as possible.

New Features

--640x960 screen. Apple’s decision to double its standard iPhone screen was met with nonstop praise from fans and critics. Icons are more vibrant, videos display at a constant 720p resolution, and webpages viewed in the dark emit a glow bright enough to light a cave. Only in the HTC HD2 has smartphone users seen such leaps and bounds in screen resolution and clarity. This bold move by Apple has left many Apple forums buzzing with heated debates on whether or not the Apple iPhone 4 can be used solely as a TV or not. –Never before has a smartphone created such buzz in the cell phone industry.

--Front-facing camera. For years mobile phone companies have been trying desperately to implement a front-facing camera, with little avail. LG had a short-lived success with their swivelling 1.2 megapixel camera back in 2001, not since then has there been an effective and customer-approved camera capable of taking pictures while the user faces the screen, adjusting the angle and focus to his or her satisfaction. The Apple iPhone 4 has induced a wave of relief upon all of its iPhone owners with its front-facing, 5 megapixel mobile phone camera, complete with LED flash for night time shots.

--Thinner, sleeker exterior. When the iPhone exploded onto the mobile phone scene in 2007, no one had ever seen such a sexier, more stylish phone. Many users were confused by its overly-simplistic design, having to become accustomed to its extra smooth glossy finish and economic, elegant buttons. The Apple iPhone 4 takes this elegance and economy and smooth finish to the next level: by being even more economical in size and weight, all while maintaining its world-renowned elegance and chicness.

Verdict

Apple’s decision to overhaul the iPhone drastically has been accepted worldwide by adoring fans and users. To say that the Apple iPhone 4 is a monumental achievement in the advancement of mobile phone technology and cellular information innovation would be an understatement—it’s a landmark in the mobile phone business, and will be a benchmark for many smartphones, and regular mobile phones alike, for years to come. Apple has done it again; exceeding our expectations farther than any other company could ever manage.
