Announcement of the iPhone 4
Designed and marketed by Apple Inc, the iPhone 4 was announced on June 7, 2010 at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco, CA. Its preorder date was announced for June 15, 2010, however this was pushed back due to preorder issues.
Hardware
The iPhone 4 was marketed as the “thinnest smartphone in the world at the time”, due to its uninsulated stainless steel frame which provides a light structure and doubles as an externally placed antenna.

Processing and Memory
The iPhone 4 carries an Apple A4 chip, containing 512 MB of DRAM. This increases performance and multi-tasking from the iPhone 3Gs.

Accessories
The iPhone 4 comes with earphones, wall charger, and USB cord, as previous models did.
Network Update
The iPhone 4 was the first to be released in a version for CDMA networks, ending AT&T’s period as the exclusive carrier of iPhone products in the US. About 6 months after its release, Verizon Wireless announced that it too would begin selling a CDMA iPhone 4 in the US and that it would include a personal hotspot feature.
User Problems
Problems with this phone included yellow discoloration of the screen, attributed to the glue used underneath the glass lamination not fully drying before the phone was sold to users. This discoloration disappeared within a few days after purchase. The proximity sensor was another issue. During calls, contact of a user’s face with the screen would cause calls to be ended, muted, or random phone numbers to be dialed. In low light conditions, photos taken on the iPhone 4 would sometimes contain blue or green splotches. There

And the front is more attractive too” (Crothers). The new transformation of the iPhone 5 in 2012 still has many people turning their heads and observing the phone. When people look past the functionality of the phone and see the design for its aesthetic beauty and design, it is a no-brainer that the iPhone’s sharp yet soft appearance can attract so many people to buy the phone. Apple completely redesigned the iPhone when the iPhone 5 was released and this only has strengthened Apple and has brought many people to turn away from Android. The design is very sharp and razor like at the edges but the center is soft and a great contrast to the edge. The thinness of the phone is spectacular and also strengthens the clarity of the phone’s sharpness. The iPhone also has a retina display that is designed to create optimal viewing of a screen with the right amount of PPI (pixels per inch), so the view is never distorted but crystal clear. A sharp design and crystal clear screen has aided the iPhone and showed many that the iPhone is clearly crafted better than an Android device.
