Apple iPhone 4

With a revamped design, sparkling new display, speedy processor, and additional features, Apple’s iPhone 4 is the biggest upgrade to Apple’s smartphone since the iPhone 3G. It’s also the showcase handset for Apple’s newest operating system, iOS 4, which adds a selection of long-overdue features, plus a selection of smaller tweaks that we weren’t expecting.
If they existed independently, iPhone 4 and iOS 4 wouldn’t be much more than blips on the smartphone radar screen. When combined into one handset, however, the result is a sleek, satisfying, and compelling device that keeps Apple strongly competitive in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
Indeed, the iPhone 4 is fast, the new hardware is a looker, and some of the new features blew us away. On other points, however, we have some concerns. Call reception still has its problems, and though we welcome multitasking with open arms, it has its drawbacks. Also, though the FaceTime video calling is more than noteworthy, we wonder if our interest will last more than a week.
For the full scoop, check out CNET’s full review of the iPhone 4.
