MYFOXNY.COM - Apple's iPhone 4 went on sale Thursday to much fanfare. Aficionados waited in line for hours to get the shiny new smart phone, which is in its fourth generation.
"iPhone 4 is the biggest leap since the original iPhone," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "FaceTime video calling sets a new standard for mobile communication, and our new Retina display is the highest resolution display ever in a phone, with text looking like it does on a fine printed page. We have been dreaming about both of these breakthroughs for decades."
The much-anticipated feature FaceTime allows video conferencing from iPhone to iPhone over a wi-fi network.
The iPhone 4 features a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, a faster processor, a 3-axis gyro, and up to 40 percent longer talk time, Apple claims.
The unit itself is redesigned inside and out -- the case is made of glass and stainless steel, which acts as an antenna.
The 3.5-inch display features a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels -- that's four times as many pixels as the iPhone 3GS. Many reviews say the display is incredibly bright and sharp.
The iPhone 4 comes in black or white, although Apple says that the white model won't be available until late July because of challenges in manufacture.
The price: $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model, with new 2-year contract with AT&T. The iPhone 4 is available at Apple, AT&T, Best Buy, and Wal-Mart stores. It is also available from Apple.com and ATT.com.

Slide to liberate. One bar once more. Once I pull it out of my pocket, the reception returns. I’ve never seen this issue with the three previous iPhones.
I wait a few seconds as the iPhone’s antenna adjusts to freedom from the confines of my pants and hand. Then I notice there wasn’t the rest I wanted to appear at. It’s a reflex at this point, like John Marston attaining for his gun.
I slide the phone back in my pocket.
The monitor is the first thing I discover, obviously, as a result of it can be the one factor I couldn’t take a look at whilst I noticed the telephone back in April.
Cramming more pixels into a smaller area is the reverse of what Apple did with the iPad, which makes use of a somewhat low amount of pixels in a large house. So why do each presentations appear so fantastic?
The iPhone four has so many more pixels that I cannot see them individually with the naked eye. When I are attempting I can just commence to defocus my eyes while the telephone comes too shut to my face. It’s the one factor iPhone four users should be proud of, provided they’re now not one of the unfortunate few with yellow spots or white dots.
Then frustration and practicality set in. Why are there extra pixels if I cannot see extra stuff on the monitor? Why are there the similar related seven rows of textual content messages and 8 rows of items in the iPod app I noticed 3 years ago when there are four instances as many pixels? Photos and movies are great, and textual content is sharp, however UI parts need to be up to date. Only having 5 emails concurrently visual is a shame on this display. At least supply me the option.
But the display itself is still higher. It has more pixels in a smaller area than all the other phones I’ve ever used. It’s sharp. Tiny textual content is readable, and the whole lot is just higher. I take it outdoor. It’s no brighter, or extra visible in the solar, but everything looks nice. What extra could I ask from a screen?
When looking at the display, I get the comparable sensation I do whilst completing the ultimate slice of ice cream cake: I need more of it. My 30-inch Dell, my 63-inch Samsung and my 27-inch iMac all have more pixels, however my first thought when seeing them used to be appear how massive. When I see the iPhone’s display, it was once wow, the whole thing is so clear. Now give me larger and clearer.
The telephone glimmers from the reflectiveness of uncovered glass. No more plastic. Much more aluminum. It seems and feels…more breakable.
As something carried around just about at all instances, I be aware the want for a case. People drop issues. Keys are absentmindedly shoved, thrown and scraped throughout its surface. Phones need to be set down. But the iPhone is in more threat of being irreparably damaged than its predecessors. Many up to now nice resting surfaces are now verboten. A case might now be mandatory.
Yet to gain a case could admit defeat. This aesthetic-industrial glass and steel-was intended to be the iPhone’s public face. It was once never supposed to be stifled by means of plastic to spare it from hurt, or wrapped with rubber to protect the antennas from human interference. If the iPhone had been intended to have a case, it could ship with a case. Attached. Out of the box.
Where earlier iPhones have change into iconified as singular slabs, iPhone 4 takes it to the next stage – flat, curved however with an aspect, and – of path – obsessively thin.
That’s 0.37 inches (9.3 mm) skinny for the spec enthusiasts amongst us, at 4.5 inches (115.2 mm) high and 2.31 inches (58.6 mm) huge and weighing in at the comparable 4.8 ounces (137 grams) as the iPhone 3GS. It seems flat out sexy and it feels effective to grasp even if Apple has as soon as again made no concessions against grip – as we stated it’s all stainless steel and glass.
Along the sides you’ll in finding the few, acquainted buttons and ports – 3.5mm headset (still flush), noice-canceling mic, sleep/wake button, microSIM card slot (along the side now), speaker, 30-pin dock connector, phone mic, extent up and down buttons (separate now, not a rocker), and the ring/silent transfer. On the entrance, below the screen (which we’ll get to in a moment) is the home button. Above the reveal is the ear speaker and the new front-facing, VGA (640?480) digital camera. On the back is the new 5 megapixel still, 720p video camera and LED flash.
