Apple-iPhone+4

__**Apple-iPhone4**__  **Lindsay Hulme ** The revolution of smart phones came about when cell phones and personal digital assistants combined. Cell phones could make phone calls and gained the capability to send and receive messages. While PDA’s gained wireless connectivity and could send and receive email. Combining these two technologies led to the transformation of the smart phones which redefined what a phone could do.

There are many different types of smart phones on the market but Apple seems to always be ahead of the game. “While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with the iPhone, we were busy creating amazing new features that make iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever. The result is iPhone 4. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.” Some smart phones on the market pale in comparison to the design and features the iPhone 4 has to offer.

The first feature Apple boasts is FaceTime, which is video calling. This feature makes it possible not only to talk to friends and family but to actually see them. There are two cameras which allow two different views. There is a camera on the front which focuses on you and a camera on the back which allows the person you’re talking to, to see what you are looking at. With a tap of a button you can easily switch between views.

The next feature is Retina Display which essentially makes the sharpest image possible to the human eye. Apple accomplished this by having four times the pixel count of previous iPhone models. The text appears so clear it is as if you are holding an actual book in your hand.

Another feature that has been improved upon is multitasking. It is now possible to run multiple apps at the same time without slowing down the phone or wasting the battery life.

The final two features that really change the way you use the phone are the 5 mega pixel camera with LED Flash and the HD video recording and editing. The camera itself has its own set of features that make it revolutionary. First being HDR photography or high dynamic range which captures three photos of a scene, each with different exposure levels. From there the iPhone4 takes the best elements from each shot and layers them together to produce the best picture. Another feature is the built in LED-flash which allows you to take pictures in a low light environment. A few other elements include the ability to take self portraits, autofocus, and sharing pictures. Just as the camera creates pictures, it is now possible to shoot, edit, and share a video, with HD video recording. You can even create your own movie by simply purchasing the iMovie app. The HD video and recording also includes autofocus, video self portrait, and the ability to share videos.

These are just five of the features that Apple highlights but there are other elements, such as design, that blow the competition out of the water, quickly making regular cell phones a thing of the past.
