CNET editors' review
Apple iPhone 4 - 16GB - black (AT&T) price range: $379.99
- Reviewed by: Kent German
- Reviewed on: 06/23/2010
The good: The iPhone 4 offers enhanced performance, a lovely new display, and an improved design. It also adds a ton of sorely needed features, both by itself and through the iOS 4 update.
The bad: Multitasking entails some trade-offs, and home screen folders are limited to 12 apps. AT&T reception continues to be spotty, and you'll need a case for the best calling reception. Also, we'd prefer a 64GB model.
The bottom line: With the iPhone 4, Apple again shows that it is a powerful player in the smartphone wars. It won't be for everyone, the call quality and reception vary if you don't use a case, and AT&T's network remains a sticking point, but the handset's striking design, loaded feature set, and generally agreeable performance make it the best iPhone yet.

A good phone that could use a nice update.
by gonzo5656 on July 2, 2010
Pros: Processor, screen resolution, battery, camra, folders, multi-tasking
Cons: 3G network runs slow as if using the edge, mail retrieves data when fetch new data is off, folders are limited, text message ringtones still limited, contact organization still limited, muli-tasking works only if app is compatable
Summary: There is a lot of great features add to this model. Some features are limited lacking simple improvments and other features are dependent on app developers to update the apps ...
Summary: There is a lot of great features add to this model. Some features are limited lacking simple improvments and other features are dependent on app developers to update the apps in order to work proper. This can be fixed with a update. People just need to speak up. I think this phone is still a good phone and I think it is worth buying.

Great Device, Terrible Phone
by slofaro512 on September 15, 2010
Pros: The mulitmedia software, camera, battery, screen, sturdy build
Cons: Phone reception, carrier and alleged build defect, "multitasking"

Summary: I think this is an amazing device. The OS is leaps and bounds better than any other phone currently on the market. The problem and hence the poor rating is that as a phone it's simply terrible. I switched carriers and have owned this product for a couple months now. Bottom line it drops an UNUSUAL amount of calls. I can understand the occasional droped call, but it's constant. Where do I live you ask? Austin TX, a major city where I do believe ATT is the no.1 carrier. That being said, in my opinion there is certainly a defect in the phone and perhaps even network problems with ATT. But I know many people with the 3G & 3G S models, who do not have the drop call issues. So it must be the phone. Yes I do have a case on it, it helped some, but still have a lot of dropped calls. If they fix this issue, which I am sure they are working for the next model already, I would easily give this a much better rating.

An Awesome Phone
by brombacher1 on June 29, 2010
Pros: Interface. Display. Video Camera. Ability to edit with iMovie. App Store. Itunes.

Summary: I switched from Verizon after getting tired of Verizon failing to wake up and make a deal to get this phone. I am a Mac user and this phone interfaces so well with my two Mac machines. Beautifully designed and extremely fast. I have had no reception or antenna issues. I can't complain about my service when with Verizon but so far my reception has been fine and I have experienced no dropped calls with AT&T. Additionally, I had a great experience in the AT&T store where I was actually given customer service, unlike my experience in Verizon stores. I purchased Invisible Shield to cover it and it works flawlessly.

Summary: This is a great phone for many reasons. It really is all of what Apple claims it to be. The display is amazing! I honestly don't have any real problems with it. There are lots of apps on the app store that are fun to play, or very helpful to you. I would recommend this phone to anyone who wants to have better communication with other people, or want a good-quality smartphone.

Best device ever!
by ButlerGS on November 18, 2010
Pros: The phone is lightening fast! It easily beats iPhone 3 and Droid friends are envious of how fast it can open and switch between apps. The battery life also puts Droid to shame! Camera has replaced my point and shoot digital camera even on vacation!
Cons: I really can't honestly think of a con for it so far. I was unable to replicate the reception issue but put a case on it anyway to protect the beautiful phone. Make sure you go with a clear case so the back can be seen.
Summary: Most powerful phone I've ever own. The fact that I can edit HD video from anywhere and then upload it is amazing. Not to mention the BEAUTIFUL screen and ...
Summary: Most powerful phone I've ever own. The fact that I can edit HD video from anywhere and then upload it is amazing. Not to mention the BEAUTIFUL screen and millions of apps available. It literally will do anything you could possibilly ask of a phone and computer. LOVE IT!

Impressive, to say the least.
by anythingtwisty on November 7, 2010
Pros: -Beautiful screen. You have to see it to truly appreciate it.
-Stunning Design
-Roughly a bajillion apps.
-Fast 3G and great coverage (in the Midwest at least).
-Fantastic Camera
-Speed
-Efficient Multitasking
-Great Battery LifeCons: -Either it can be beautiful and fragile (my preference) or ugly and sturdy with a case
-No unlimited data
-speakers on bottom can be accidentally made very quiet with a finger covering them (usually when playing games)Summary: I love this phone. I previously had a Sony Ericsson W580i that had pretty much fallen apart. I considered the Captivate, but its interface was really ugly in my opinion ...
Summary: I love this phone. I previously had a Sony Ericsson W580i that had pretty much fallen apart. I considered the Captivate, but its interface was really ugly in my opinion and Android is not a "unified" experience like the iPhone is meant to be. The iPhone's interface works seamlessly. So seamlessly, in fact, that I can count the number of times it has lagged at all on one hand, and I've had it for over a month. The battery life can go for two days easily. I have never had a dropped call with it, and I cannot reproduce the "antenna flaw" on my own phone. Facetime is flawless, as expected, and pretty neat as well.
Bottom Line- If you want a phone that works like an iPod with easy music syncing, great battery, quick internet, a flawless interface, and great applications, this is the phone for you. It is worth every penny.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Summary: I've had this phone for about a week........after reading some of the reviews on here I was skeptical but AT&T gives you a full month to 'test-drive' it so I figured what the heck, if I didn't like it I'd just return it. Well after just a little less than a week you would have to pry this thing from my cold dead fingers for me to give it up. It is THAT good. For anybody thinking of upgrading from a 3G......don't even hesitate, just do it, you will not regret it for a second. For a first time smart-phone buyer, you might as well get the best if you're going to do it! I understand people's complaints about AT&T's network.......I had many myself and wasn't planning on upgrading, I was going to wait it out for the Verizon iPhone.......until I dropped my 3G into the fish tank! The 4 has dropped one call in a week.......my 3G would've easily dropped 10 (probably more)!! So to me the reception and/or network has been greatly improved on the 4. I've also heard that AT&T is dumping more cash into their network than any other provider so I can only imagine it will get even better. Bottom line on the 4..........it is an amazing device, fast and powerful and chock full of goodies! And despite many of the reviews saying otherwise, it is a SOLID phone that does all you could ask of it.

iPhone 4 is useless if used for business
by badulinko on November 4, 2010
Pros: Excellent interface, lots of cool apps (free), nice, simple design, large display
Cons: If used as voice/data device in business environment, running Microsoft Exchange, battery life is unacceptable, holding charge for 3-4 hrs.
Summary: I purposely snitch from Blackberry Torch to iPhone 4 to evaluate if we can use it as business phone. What a disappointment, what a mistake. Having device what will give ...
Summary: I purposely snitch from Blackberry Torch to iPhone 4 to evaluate if we can use it as business phone. What a disappointment, what a mistake. Having device what will give you over 30 hrs of battery life while in constant use, iPhone 4, after being fully charged for over 10 hrs, running only 2 apps (phone and mail) manage to hold charge for 4 hrs. Called Apple tech. support twice and after checking all settings and make sure that no apps are running multitasking, finally get phone replaced - had well known manufacturing battery defect.
With new phone, fully charged, battery life was as expected from such device but, the moment I enabled my Exchange mail to sync, battery just drained in front of my eyes (had filling that I'm looking into stop-watch, not power meter). Bottom line: if you want cool looking gadget, get a iPhone 4, but if you want to use it as your business device, look somewhere else as this is not what you will be happy with.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great Product. . .Unless you want to talk on the phone.
by stephentracy on October 6, 2010
Pros: The new apps available with the model are terrific. The style of the device as well as the battery life are all good.
Cons: The phone quality is simply unacceptable for an adult. The speakerphone is too quiet to use in noisy environments, the proximity sensor hardware does not work correctly. The Phone is useless. My rating is so low because it is billed as a phone.

Summary: It is truly amazing to watch this device as it sits on the desk next to me and i am on a call. First you cant hear the person (full bars showing) OS 4.1 installed. Next it drops the call with 2 bars showing. The icing on the cake is the fact that after it drops the call it goes to no bars then refuses to make an outgoing call to reconnect, for about 2 minutes (long enough so that the caller you were attempting to communicate with has moved on to the next item of business). All day long i get voicemail without the phone ever ringing, but that is SOP for AT&T so I don't fault the phone for that.

Specifications
- Manufacturer: Apple
- Part number: 4850249
- Description: While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with iPhone, Apple 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. All the breakthrough technology in iPhone 4 is situated between two glossy panels of aluminosilicate glass - the same type of glass used in the windshields of helicopters and high-speed trains. Chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic, the glass is ultradurable and more scratch resistant than ever. It's also recyclable. The 960-by-640 backlit LCD display boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small - a mere 78 micrometers across - that the human eye can't distinguish individual pixels. That makes text remarkably sharp and graphics incredibly vivid. IPS technology also provides excellent color and contrast from almost any viewing angle. Created from Apple's own alloy, then forged to be five times stronger than standard steel, the CNC-machined band is the mounting point for all the components of iPhone 4. The band provides impressive structural rigidity and allows for its incredibly thin, refined design. It also functions as both iPhone 4 antennas. Apple engineers designed the A4 chip to be a remarkably powerful yet remarkably power-efficient mobile processor. With it, iPhone 4 can easily perform complex jobs such as multitasking, editing video, and placing FaceTime calls. All while maximizing battery life. iPhone 4 includes a built-in three-axis gyroscope. When paired with the accelerometer, it makes iPhone 4 capable of advanced motion sensing such as user acceleration, full 3D attitude, and rotation rate. Translation: More motion gestures and greater precision for an even better gaming experience. The iPhone 4 camera shoots gorgeous 5-megapixel photos and stunning HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful images even in low-light settings. The built-in LED flash does double duty. When you're taking pictures, it works as a flash. When you're shooting video it can stay on to light up the scene. And on the front of iPhone 4, the built-in camera is perfect for making FaceTime calls and shooting self-portraits. While most phones have only one microphone, iPhone 4 has two. The main mic, located on the bottom next to the dock connector, is for phone calls, voice commands, and memos. The second mic, built into the top near the headphone jack, is for FaceTime calls and for making your phone calls better. It works with the main mic to suppress unwanted and distracting background sounds, such as music and loud conversations. This dual-mic noise suppression helps make every conversation a quiet one. With its large Multi-Touch display and innovative software, iPhone lets you control everything using just your fingers. How does it work? A panel laminated on the glass senses your touch using electrical fields. It can register multiple touches at once to support advanced gestures such as pinch to zoom, two-finger tap, and more. The panel then transmits the information to the Retina display below it.
