There is exactly 13 days until the new iPhone 4 comes out, but who’s counting right? I’ll be at a camp in PA, so I don’t know if I will be able to get one on day one but I definitely plan on getting one! Last year I was on my way to the same camp when I got my 3GS the day it came out. If you are wondering right now what the iPhone 4 is, I don’t want to just repeat what you can find on Apple’s website so get every detail you need about the iPhone 4 there. Be sure to watch the video and don’t miss where Scott Forstall says, “The display on the iPhone is blow away.”
Now that you are all caught up, what do you think? Good, eh, or bad? Personally I am really pumped for this iPhone, which means I’m already selling my 3GS if you are looking for an activated, jailbroken iPhone. Why am I pumped for the phone you ask? That’s exactly what I was hoping you would ask, let me explain below my reasons for getting the iPhone 4.
New Design
The iPhone 4 has a brand new design that is akin to the original iPhone, and I like it. It seems like they have actually had a cross between the metal of the original iPhone and the plastic of the last two iPhone revisions. The back and front are all glass allowing better reception, hopefully! The sides actually serve as the antenna of the device and are stainless steel. Combined the new iPhone looks really sharp and sturdy, I can’t wait to hold one just to really see. It’s THINNER too, just check out the side by side comparison below.
Better and MORE Camera W/ 720p Recording
That’s right, the camera has been improved not only in megapixel count which isn’t that important but with a new sensor. These both allow for better shooting in lowlight. It also has an LED flash for extreme night time pics. Don’t forget now that it can shoot 720p HD video. This is what I’m really going to have some fun with. I’ve already got ideas and am very excited to see the possibilities with that. Oh, let’s also not forget the iPhone has a front facing camera now and can video chat over wifi. I’m a little more hesitant on this, just because of the wifi and does it only work with other iPhone 4s? We’ll see what the future holds for that.
This picture below is actually from the iPhone 4′s camera roll, just check out the nice quality. According to Apple it hasn’t been retouched or modified or anything!
Retina Display, Multitasking, Folders
I’m wrapping these last three together so I don’t go on too long. This new display is supposed to be amazing, effectively quadrupling the pixel count in the iPhone’s screen. Again, I’m going to have to wait to see this thing in person. The last two belong to the actual iOS, as it’s called now. Multitasking has long been sought after on the iPhone, and Apple finally delivered with their own solution to the problems multitasking brings. Battery drain, slow phone, etc… Without going into details, I can’t wait to use it! Lastly the new folders capability is going to save a lot of swiping through screens to get to my favorite apps. You can now start putting apps in what they call folders, which can now take a whole screen of apps and put them into one little app icon. Whew, what a weight lifted off of my screen. You can organize them how ever you want!
So that’s it, these reasons and more are compelling me to get the iPhone 4…whenever that may be…
What do you think of the iPhone 4? Will you be getting one?

How do you feel about people making the claims that Sprint beat the iPhone to the punchline with the EVO 4G? I will always be loyal to Apple so I side with you, however I also feel that when it comes to quality you can't beat the iPhone's construction and reliability…so I refuse to like Sprint's creations lol.
The problem I see with the iPhone and it's competitors is that the ease of use with the software just doesn't match up. Apple has a giant lead in this area, the hardware specs will always line up pretty evenly no matter the phone. I just think that Apple puts together the whole package a heck of a lot better than any other phone manufacturer. Just IMHO though!
