Features of Apple iPhone:
Ever since Gizmodo revealed the next iPhone there had been speculation of whether the front end camera is the true thing or a huge hoax. But it turned out to be true with more cool features to have a look at.
- New design totally Stainless steel covering the outsides and as well as acting as antenna for bluetooth, GPS, GSM and WiFi, the Apple iPhone 4 is very thin, at 9.3 mm. Two microphones embedded to enable noise cancellation just like HTC Google Nexus one. Camera and LED Flash on the back.
- Coining the term Retina Display A magnificent screen of very hi-resolution for present times. Boasting a 326dpi, the screen of Apple iPhone 4 is hard to decipher if there are pixels on the screen. A human eye can normally distinguish individual pixels from a distance of 10–12 inches if any screen has 300dpi. As iPhone 4 exceeds 300dpi, Jobs named it as Retina Display. A contrast ration of 800:1 would provide the user the ultimate viewing pleasure on a 3.5 inch screen at 960 x 640 screen resolution.
- Too sensitive Gyroscope in addition to the accelerometer gives the user a 6–axis motion sensing. Developers can play with the CoreMotion API to build applications which can pick the sensitive motion gestures. Also included are the standard proximity sensor, ambient light sensor and compass.
- Multitasking through iOS4(earlier referred as iPhone OS 4) became easier and in addition to that, there is unified inbox, conversation threading and several others. Even though Google is the default search engine, the users are free to choose Yahoo or Bing.
- FaceTime enables the users to communicate with others using the Video calling. It works on iPhone 4, but only through Wi-Fi. You can configure it in such a way that you can show the other person yourself through the front camera or else show what you are seeing through the back camera. FaceTime is in sessions to be standardized as it also uses other standards such as H.264, AAC,SIP,SRTP,TURN,RTP and ICE.
