Apple iPhone 4 review
As of today, Apple has shifted over 3 million since it went on sale at the end of June. That's not to be sniffed at. Most were upgrades too. Should you be joining the iPhone 4 club? The latest iPhone hits the market with a few points to prove.

Apple iPhone 4
Apple tried every shady trick in the book to cover up "antennagate", from blaming its customers for holding it wrong , to blaming it on its network signal attenuation algorithm , to playing down the severity by dragging other mobile vendors into the debate .
Pros:
- Zippy 1GHz processor
- Retina display is razor sharp
- One of the fastest cameras we've seen in a phone
Cons:
- The much-discussed antenna issue
- Design lacks the ergonomics of previous models
- Not a substantial performance bump from 3GS

Some will still consider Apple's iPhone the benchmark for today's smartphones, but its revised design raises issues we haven't seen in a phone of this calibre before. Those upgrading from an iPhone 3G would be wise to consider a 3GS instead.
Pros:
- The much-discussed antenna issue
- Design lacks the ergonomics of previous models
- Not a substantial performance bump from 3GS
Cons:
- Zippy 1GHz processor
- Retina display is razor sharp
- One of the fastest cameras we've seen in a phone

Apple iPhone 4 Review
It's probably not going to be a surprise that I have a love / hate relationship with the iPhone 4. I've enjoyed using the iPhone since I purchased the original one. I love the display, the camera and of course, the wide variety of quality applications.
Pros:
- Gorgeous display
- Thinner case
- 5MP camera with LED flash
Cons:
- Can't turn off video compression before sending to Youtube or Email
- Multitasking feature is really task switching

Apple iPhone 4 Review
Every year Apple hits us with a new, shiny iPhone. This year, we are finally getting features that we've wanted for a while now, such as a new design, front facing camera, a better quality camera with flash, and of course a much improved screen.
Cons:
- Very high-resolution display, FaceTime video conferencing, 720p video recording, Sharp edges, Less memory than 3G S
- no 64GB version, Greenish screen tone, No HDMI out, Orange hue on indoor photos, No external camera shutter button

Apple iPhone 4
We were somewhat apprehensive when we bore witness, via live streaming, to Apple CEO Steve Jobs' iPhone 4 announcement earlier this year. Typically, smartphone fans either love or hate the iPhone - nothing in between.
Pros:
- Updated design
- impressive internal features
- upgraded camera and video capturing capabilities
Cons:
- Usage of Micro SIM

There are a couple of disadvantages you could have mentioned - like the fact the video calling only works to other iPhone 4's on a WiFi network, and poor signal strength (just type 'iPhone 4 poor signal' into Google and click the first link, loyalmoses.com) Also the glass, while more durable than

Pros:
