23 June, 2010
The iPhone 4 actually arrived two days early for some people - and it's already been unboxed on video, activated, used and torn down. There are new camera samples too, in more realistic conditions than the...

I was so hyped by GSM when I read the iPhone 4 was finally using a Polymer battery, but clicked on one of the images to see that its still Ion :-(. I just have better resluts from polymer based batteries like in my SE phones than the ion in my iPhone 3GS.

        Battery life is supposed to be great. It has an 1420 mAh battery.

        Check out Engadget for the first big review.

          Is your Blackberry capable of receiving attachments bigger than 4 MB yet?

            Is the real battery life known yet? I would like to know more about it. I heard that the high resolution screen would drain the battery extremely fast. I am looking towards a formal review on everything.

Yes, these critics are ... moreWord of mouth is good, but I'd trust a professional opinion over the man in the street (who is more likely to have an agenda than someone who is paid to be critical). What I find preposterous, is that you are saying that if paid reviewers five a bad review, then no-one will read it? I would think some on this site would have a field day.

                People will read reviews from journalists, whether it is good or bad does not make any difference.

                Yes, I don't own an iphone 4 but the signs are there that, as usual, Apple has another success on it's hands, and I would put good money on it being a bigger success than the N8.

                  If you write the most accurate reviews of phones but no one reads them you will be out of a job. I prefer imdb over rotten tomatoes for that reason. I trust a large sample of the general public and all our flaws over a critic and their suspect motivations.

                    Have you ever watched a bad movie? Bad in an epic proportion? Like Catwoman, or Gigli? You know you can find respected critics write good reviews for bad movies. Must Watch! Movie of the Year!

                    These points remain:

                    1. You probably do not own an iPhone 4 (assumption based on probability). You are putting stock in what others are saying and not by owning the phone.

                    2. Those others are critics who may or may not have an agenda. To say they do not is you being naive. They want people to read what they write. You do not write about how FaceTime sucks. You write about how wonderful the iphone is. That will get the wanting public on your side.

                      Let me bring your previous comment back to haunt you.

                      "That more paid critics will write positive reviews about the iphone and pander to their audience"

                      Pander to their audience? I don't think so. These people are paid to review phones, not to promote them. If you want to paint Steve Jobs and Apple as Nazi Propaganda types, then go ahead. You stick to your blinkered view.

                              I love how the haters are commenting on a phone that they have never touched.

                              Success breeds contempt.
