Key Features of the iPhone 4
The iPhone 4 introduced several groundbreaking features that set it apart from its predecessors. One of the most notable upgrades is the Retina Display, which boasts a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels, making text and images incredibly sharp and clear. This was a significant leap from the 3GS, which had a resolution of 480 x 320 pixels.
Another major improvement is the A4 processor, which enhances the phone’s performance and efficiency. This chip, combined with the new iOS 4, provides a smoother and faster user experience. The iPhone 4 also introduced a front-facing camera, enabling FaceTime video calls, a feature that has since become a staple in modern smartphones.
The design of the iPhone 4 is also worth mentioning. It features a glass front and back with a stainless steel frame, giving it a sleek and premium feel. This design was a departure from the plastic casing of the 3GS, and it set a new standard for smartphone aesthetics.
