Inside iPhone

There are a lot of improvements introduced with the release of iPhone 4, including hardware enhancements any type of users will certainly love. In this part, we are going to look into what are inside the new iPhone 4 and explore improved aspects of the mobile phone from this angle. Shall we start?

The main improvement seen in iPhone 4 would have to be the newly introduced A4 processor used exclusively on iPhone 4 and iPad (at least for the time being). Instead of using the old Samsung ARM processor, Apple decided to go with the new and improved A4 processor. This processor is the core of iPhone 4’s snappy performance and responsive operations.

Couple the A4 processor with upsized 512MB RAM, and you have one snappy mobile phone capable of completing multiple tasks with ease. You can expect unrivaled performance from the new iPhone 4 nonetheless; the combination of these two main ingredients are simply perfect, proving Apple’s hard work throughout the iPhone 4 development stages.

You can choose between 16GB and 32GB of internal storage depending on your needs and budget. Offering larger internal storage such as 64GB or even 128GB will surely make the iPhone 4 looks even more appealing, but Apple is clearly trying to reach wider market segment and to keep their prices low.

A well-placed 802.11n Wi-Fi radio as well as a quad-band HSUPA chip and Bluetooth v2.1 enhances the iPhone 4’s connectivity options, although using the new Bluetooth v3.0 module could’ve make this phone perfect.

When the first iPhone was introduced, the device revolutionized the entire mobile phone industry in general. Touchscreen-based phones weren’t really that popular back then, yet iPhone managed to create a breakthrough that made every top mobile phone manufacturers join the party – even top manufacturers such as HTC and Nokia are switching to touchscreen-based exterior design right away. With the iPhone 4, Apple is obviously starting another revolution in the mobile phone world with new and improved industrial design.

It is safe to say that the iPhone 4’s exterior design is more than just stunning. The phone feels like high-end mobile phones – for example Vertu – in hand and it is certainly more than just stylish. The iPhone 4 also makes older generations of iPhone seems old and bulky, even though it is only slightly thinner when compared to the iPhone 3GS.

Two pieces of reinforced glass is used on the back and front faces. The front part also functions as medium for the new – and also improved – capacitive touchscreen developed exclusively for the iPhone 4. The back plate is mainly for aesthetics, but it surely makes the phone looks elegant in every way. In between the two layers is a metal strip forming the sandwich, functioning as the handset’s main skeleton as well as antenna for enhanced network reception.

The simplicity of iPhone 4’s exterior design reminds me of classic brands such as Leica. Being simple and functional is exactly what iPhone 4 is trying to do, and the device exceeds available mobile phones by quite far indeed.
