Few Thoughts on the iPhone 4
The new iPhone is in one word beautiful.
The first thing I noticed when I took this technical marvel out of its box is the form-factor and size. Unlike its predecessor the iPhone 4 does not feel like a piece of plastic. Every single minute detail is beautifully crafted in a way that only Apple could do. The phone feels perfect in my hands. And it’s down right amazing how much Apple has been able to pack into such a thin case.
The second thing I noticed is the screen. I can’t say enough about the “Retina Display”. I don’t know how to put into words what it’s like to look at this screen. One has to see the screen at work to appreciate it.
One of the, I won’t say downsides instead let’s say repercussions of the screen is that it makes the iPads screen look inferior. Another repercussion of the new iPhone 4 is that it uses iOS 4.0 which the iPad currently doesn’t… I can’t tell you how many times I’ve tried to double click home on the iPad hoping to see the fast-switch bar pop-up.
The major issue I’ve noticed is the signal degradation problem associated to the ‘death-grip’. I’ve noticed it at work but not at my apartment. I’m hoping that Apple will somehow fix this…
