iPhone 4

The iPhone 4 is a touchscreen 3G


smartphone developed by Apple Inc.
It is the fourth generation iPhone, and
successor to the iPhone 3GS. It is
particularly marketed for video
calling (marketed by Apple as
FaceTime), consumption of media
such as books and periodicals, movies,
music, and games, and for general
web and e-mail access. It was
announced on June 7, 2010, at the
WWDC 2010 held at the Moscone
Center, San Francisco,[7] and was
released on June 24, 2010, in the
United States, the United Kingdom,
France, Germany and Japan.

RELEASE
The I phone 4 was released on 24th June 2010.
DISPLAY
The display of the iPhone 4 is manufactured by LG under an
exclusive contract with Apple. It features an LED backlit TFT LCD
capacitive touchscreen with a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch
(ppi) on a 3.5 in (8.9 cm) (diagonally measured), 960640 display.
Each pixel is 78 micrometers in width.
CAMERA
The iPhone 4 is the first iPhone model to have two cameras.
The LED flash for the rear-facing camera (top) and the
forward-facing camera (bottom, left of speaker) are not
present in older models.
The iPhone 4 features an additional front-facing VGA camera,
and a backside-illuminated 5 megapixel rear-facing camera
with a 3.85 mm f/2.8 lens[49][1] and an LED flash. The rearfacing camera is capable of recording HD video in 720p at 30
frames per second. Both cameras make use of the tap to
focus feature, part of iOS 4, for photo and video recording.
[50] The rear-facing camera has a 5 digital zoom.

DESIGN
The iPhone 4 features a redesigned structure,
designed by Jonathan Ive. Most notably, the bulges of
the back panel as well as the band between the front
and back are gone and have been replaced with
flattened surfaces. The redesign reflects the
utilitarianism and uniformity of existing Apple
products, such as the iPad and the iMac. The overall
dimensions of the iPhone 4 have been reduced from
its
predecessor.
REVIEWS
Reviews of the iPhone 4 have been generally favorable. Walt
Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal called the device "the
best device in its class".[89] Engadget named it the "best
smartphone on the market" in June 2010.[90] CNET gave the
iPhone 4 a rating of 8.6 out of 10, one of the highest ratings
it has given any smartphone.[91] TechRadar gave the device
4.5/5 stars.[92] Consumer Reports said the signal problem
was the reason they did not rate it a "recommended" model,
although the other tests ranked it highest among smart
phones.[74]
Joshua Topolsky of Engadget described the device's industrial
design as being "more detailed and sophisticated" than its
predecessor.[90]

The iPhone 4S is a touchscreenbased smartphone developed,


manufactured, and released by
Apple Inc. It is the fifth generation
of the iPhone,[5] succeeding the
iPhone 4. Announced on October 4,
2011 at Apple's Cupertino campus,
its media coverage was
accompanied by the death of former
Apple CEO Steve Jobs on the
following day.
Available for pre-order on October 7
and coming to mainstream
availability in retail
stores on
October 14 in the United States,
Australia, Canada, the United
Kingdom, France, Germany, and
Japan, sales peaked over its
predecessor with over a million
sales in the first twenty-four hours
of preorder availability and over

SOFTWARE
The iPhone 4S uses iOS, Apple's mobile operating system.[24]
The user interface of iOS is based on the concept of direct
manipulation, using multi-touch gestures. Interface control
elements consist of sliders, switches, and buttons. The response
to user input is immediate and provides a fluid interface.
HARDWARE
The iPhone 4S uses the Apple A5 system-on-a-chip (SoC) that
incorporates an Imagination Technologies PowerVR SGX543
graphics processing unit (GPU). This GPU features pixel,
vertex, and geometry shader hardware supporting OpenGL ES
2.0. The SGX543 is an improved version of the GPU used in the
iPhone 4S's predecessor, the iPhone 4. The iPhone 4S uses a
dual-core model that is integrated with the Apple A5 SoC in the
same way as the iPad 2.[37] Apple claims that the iPhone 4S
can process graphics "up to seven times faster" than the
iPhone 4; this was corroborated by Epic Games president Mike
DESIGN
Capps.[38]
The iPhone 4S has a stainless steel, dual cellular antenna design.
Apple redesigned the antenna in the iPhone 4S after some
original iPhone 4 users reported cellular signal attenuation
problems as a result of holding the phone in certain positions.
The improved cellular radio in the phone can switch between two
antennas, depending on which is sending/receiving the best
