If you intend upgrading sense-an actual Apple phone, the iPhone 4 is the answer. Judging from older products, such as from 3G to 3G, then there are only some things are improved, such as from 3G to HSDPA support. Now you can feel a lot of stuff on the iPhone 4.

"There are no cracks Ivory", may be the most fit proverb to describe this brand-new iPhone. Although looking perfect, feels much better than previous products and has a variety of features that promise Friday, the phone still has some disadvantages.

Some people may be understandable lack of proficiency level, but for others may be small things that become a reason to not buy it. Through this brief review, we can be equally informed.

design
There are changes that are brave enough to do this Apple's iPhone 4. When we first opened its cardboard box as usual made ​​small and elongated, we will feel the iPhone candybar form this time more vulgar. Eits do not think negative always yes!


Say goodbye to the iPhone casing with rounded edges, plus the back of the form a curve. Now that Apple designed the iPhone 4 with the edges of a more assertive and ornate aluminum material.
The 'back' it was no longer curved (or mencembung), but made flat, just like the front (screen). Where both the front and rear, equally thick plastic coated glass. If we remember again, just put the iPhone earlier this plastic coating glass display section only.
At first glance it would seem slick. Least able to create futuristic effects, as well as sturdy. But besides that there is a problem that is ready to lurk. Such damage to the casing. The reason, the protective glass front and the rear tends to stand out and be on the outermost surface. Aluminum parts that surround it are not able to protect this section. Especially in the vulnerable edges.
This is evidenced by the many complaints 4 iPhone owners around the world who have broken the protective glass, especially on the back, just a fall from a place not too high.
The solution is to use the bumper, aka rubber protective casing or so-called 'condom mobile phones'. Apple even offers free original bumper for iPhone 4 owners who registered a cell phone, as one form of responsibility. Or if you do not intend to use the bumper, make sure you do not slam the iPhone 4 for any reason.
Another thing that change in the design is the placement of antennas. In the previous iPhone, the antenna is placed at the rear bottom of the phone, while now placed on the left side. Many suspect this must have been the cause of the problem at the time of the phone. Where are all of a sudden the signal reception quality will nge-drop or unstable.
When PULSE try it with one of the operator product, is hardly found in signal reception problems. Almost every conversation takes place smoothly. While Apple's own party think this is a cosmetic problem. Alias ​​problem that is not too large. How to you?
One more thing on the side of the design is the number of changes to the location of important buttons and slots. Volume keys for example, is now placed on the opposite side. Likewise with micro sim slot, from the top to the right phone.
Oh yes, by the way Micro SIM, follow these 4 iPhone 3G iPad. Namely using the SIM card-sized mini. Some operators reportedly already provides this micro size SIM card, but if you force yourself to use the old card, you can cut it manually with the tools already available in the market. The problem is, you can not use it again in a regular cell phone.


retina Display
Apple calls anyarnya with retinal display screen. The point is it with the screen size was taken, achieving a screen resolution 960 x 640 pixels 3.5 inches in the field of so-called equivalent with a maximum resolution of the retina of our eyes. We can not really mencocokannya, but certainly the phone screen is very bright and capable of displaying the 'innards' it well.


Both text and pictures can be displayed clearly. So it is with video. With the same video resolution (eg from Youtube), we feel the picture is much more dense in the iPhone4 than other phones, such as the BlackBerry Torch 9800.

We feel the iPhone screen is experiencing a lot of improvement. If the matter has been proven excellent display quality, then on the sensitivity, the iPhone 4 is the best compared to fellow iPhone.

Multitouch technology is very helpful when browsing the Internet and photos. But the virtual keyboard that gives comfort is still going to be a problem for them a physical keyboard enthusiast.


multitasking
This section is the biggest upgrade we can get in an iPhone. Thanks to the IOS 4 is injected into the iPhone 4, then you can run multiple applications at once at one time. Such as you are playing games, and want to open the ebook, as well as email and sms from old friends. You do not need to cover all of it. Just press the HOME button twice, then you can see all the programs are still running. Press a long time and you can close them one by one.



But, If you are running old applications, such as you never buy software on the iPhone 3Gs, and then transfer it to iPhone 4, then you must update it to pause and resume its features can appear.

As information, this feature is an innate feature IOS 4. So, another iPhone device, such as the iPhone 3G can do it if it has been upgraded with this OS.


iTunes and App Store
If a year ago Indonesia account regional origin not given the freedom to access the iTunes Store, so this time can already loh. You can download the video podcasts, short video series and so on. We've tried to download some videos and I managed to Indonesia. But, still there is the but again ya. Indonesia has not been able to account for milk paid to download iTunes music content. Alias ​​is still limited to just download a free podcast.



Meanwhile, there is no problem on the App Store. As always, you can download the application whether or not paid, then install it on your iPhone. Still the same as the experience of the App Store on Apple's mobile-phone before.

iPod
Any fan of music must be familiar with the name iPod. Apple's music player device is famous for its homemade quality playback and display it. Ordinary Sepeerti iPhone include this feature as one of the top seed. Not much progress on the quality of the music than the iPhone 3Gs, but if you talk loud speaker, the speaker feels the iPhone 4 is slightly increased quality.



connectivity
This phone is equipped with a complete connection. When we are in WiFi range, then use high-speed WiFi 801.11 b / g / n. If we are not in a hotspot, then the choice is to use the HSDPA network. To be sure you should always connect to the internet to be able to monitor all email and messenger.


The main drawback lies in the inability of these phones in the receive and send files via Bluetooth. Resignation? Do not dong! There are still applications that allow this to happen, but we have to buy it first in the App Store. The good news we can still listen to music via A2DP.

And what about the nature of its USB connection that requires synchronization with a specific device? Still does. But with his new iOS4, we no longer need to lose the music files when synchronized with a different computer devices. There is an ongoing backup process. But yes, if you want to add music was still a bit troublesome.


5 MP camera and HD video recorder
To date, the magnitude of the iPhone camera 5 megapixel camera resolution is the largest scale. But no nothing really if you compare it with the camera phones from other manufacturers that have reached 8 and even 10 megapixels. No one complained of shooting ability. Unfortunately mini professional settings.
 

One thing interesting is its ability to record HD video up to 720p. In line with the launch of HD TVs and HD video support uploading video on sites like Youtube, then this is a good sign. Unfortunately the memory required to store HD video is larger than most videos. Especially when the iPhone does not provide additional space for external memory.

For you who still need information about the existence of a video or photo editor at a cell phone, the iPhone 4 is already available features a video editor by doing trim. But for the photo, you need to download and install applications that are even better.


Video Call?
This technology has long existed in the mobile-first generation 3G phones. Even when the iPhone 4 comes with a feature front camera, video call service it was already reduced its popularity. At least for an iPhone, this is nothing new.

Specials on iPhone 4, video call service is an Internet-based network via WiFi. Similar to Skype. Apple reportedly still is working for this feature to run on 3G environments as well. But certainly with the device as small as a cell phone, then when we looked at other person's eyes on the screen, as if you look into the camera located at a narrow angle. Your face will be projected on the screen other person who was looking at their eyes.

Compare if you do video chat on the computer, when we see a person, then we do not see the camera, so it is seen by the other person, we are staring at another field.

Unfortunately this feature is still not able to be used in our iPhone 4, although the WiFi is active, and phone number are recorded. Is this a sign FaceTime can not be used in Indonesia, or need another iPhone 4 to be connected, or there are problems on the carrier (operator that we use).
  

battery
Many factors must be considered when we review the battery. In the visible, the iPhone battery 4 is better than the iPhone 3Gs that have also had stopped in the table editor test PULSE. With normal usage, plus e-mail feed, messenger and use of the camera, this phone can last almost two days.
