iPhone 4 – Accessory Round Up
If you’re planning on buying an iPhone 4, then you’re probably going to end up getting some kind of accessory as well. Let’s take a look at Apple’s official accessories, as well as some third party accessories that are sure to make your iPhone 4 experience even better.
The Apple iPhone 4 Bumper Case
At the end of the day, we can probably all agree that the Apple iPad case didn’t really hold up to the standards we’ve come to expect from Apple. However, I think Apple really hit the nail on the head with this one. First of all, you can’t get this design wrong; it’s just too simple.
The Bumper cases are made of both plastic and rubber. They’re designed to protect to most vulnerable part of the phone, which isn’t the screen, but instead the metal sides of the phone. Since the back of the iPhone 4 is made out of the same compound as the front of the iPhone 4, both sides of the phone will be nearly impervious to scratches. The Bumper case is designed in such a way that it will protect the iPhone if it were to fall face down, or on it’s side. This case design allows more of the phone to show, while keeping the phone’s profile slim; something most cases aren’t able to do.
The Motorola S9 HD
I’ve used a ton of bluetooth headsets in my life, for both listening and speaking, and this headset offers the most bang for the buck. Currently retailing for $64.99 on Tiger Direct, this wireless bluetooth stereo headset offers great sound quality for listening to music, watching movies, or even talking with friends on your new iPhone 4.
I personally own a pair of these wireless wonders, and they are certain to impress any buyer. With an actual range of up to 30 feet of clear listening, it definitely feels great loosing the wire and having freedom to walk away from the device you’re listening from.
Other Apple Accessories
At the launch of iPhone 4, there will certainly be more accessory choices available from Apple and third parties. At this time, we know Apple will be selling their premium headphones, VGA / Component output cables, power bricks, as well as the Nike + iPod sensors.
More details about the iPhone 4 launch are expected to surface on Tuesday, June 15th when iPhone 4 pre-orders begin.
iPhone 4 – This changes everything. Again.
In 2007, Apple captured the hearts and minds of millions with the Original iPhone. While primitive by today’s standards, it revolutionized the entire mobile phone industry. Since then, Apple has made additional improvements to the iPhone, releasing new models yearly. The iPhone 3G brought the world a fresh looking phone, high speed wireless network access, and apps for the first time. The iPhone 3GS introduced video recording, and an extremely fast processor that made the iPhone experience more seamless than ever. While the iPhone has steadily improved since it’s first day, it hasn’t offered any game changing features since the first launch.
On June 7th, Apple released iPhone 4; this changes everything all over again.
iPhone 4 is equipped with a 5 megapixel camera, and an LED flash. Users of the new iPhone will now be able to leave their camera at home. The pictures taken from the new camera are brilliant, crisp, and will cause you to ask yourself if you really need to carry your point shoot camera around with you anymore. These improvements don’t stop at still photos, the new iPhone also records HD video at 720p resolution and 30 frames per second.
On top of the ability to record HD video on the new iPhone, users will be able to edit their HD video using Apple’s all new mobile friendly iMovie app. Select a theme for your movie, add music, add transitions, add text, add effects, combine multiple clips, and share your creation via MMS, email, or YouTube; all on one small mobile device.
iPhone 4 is 24% thinner than previous models, and boasts an incredible 40% battery life improvement. This sleek new iPhone comes in white and black, much like the previous iPhone models. The front and back of this upcoming tech wonder are made of a specially manufactured glass that is extremely scratch resistant and nearly shatter proof. As a matter of fact, the new iPhone is so resilient that Apple’s cases for the new phone cover only the device’s sides, leaving the front and back completely exposed. These new cases are called Bumpers, and will be available in multiple colors.
Without a doubt, the most incredible gift the new iPhone brings us is video calling; this is the first mobile device to bring video calling to the consumer world abroad. Every iPhone 4 has a front facing camera in addition to the camera on the back of the phone. This front facing camera is specifically designed to allow video calls, which Apple has named “FaceTime.” This feature means you can look into the eyes of your son or daughter who is off at college, it means you help your friend pick out the right shirt for that business meeting later today, and it means that you can be closer than ever to people who are far away.
The new iPhone comes preloaded with the new iOS 4. This new software will allow the iPhone to multitask for the first time. Multitasking means listening to Pandora while writing an email, getting turn by turn GPS directions while making a phone call, or even video calling with “FaceTime” while playing a game. iOS 4 also brings us the much needed folders feature. With the new iOS, users will be able to organize their apps into folders. Many of these features will be available to current iPhone and iPod Touch owners on June 21st through a free software update.
Why do I need an iPhone 4?
Original iPhone and iPhone 3G users are due to upgrade for many reasons. You are most likely eligible for an upgrade if you have either one of these phones, because iPhone upgrades are on a sixteen month cycle this time around and both models are over two years old. With iPhone 4, you will have a speedier phone, fewer dropped calls, and all the features mentioned previously. Let’s not forget the features you missed in the iPhone 3GS such as voice control, a magnetometer and video recording. It is highly recommended that owners of the Original iPhone, or the iPhone 3G upgrade to iPhone 4 later this month.
iPhone 3GS users should wait until they are eligible for an upgrade unless they really need “FaceTime” or an HD camera with flash. The iPhone 3GS is going to receive the same iOS 4 update that iPhone 4 will be receiving. This being said, your iPhone 3GS will receive multitasking, folders, and numerous other enhancements via the iOS software update on June 21st. The 3GS is a great phone, and anyone with one of these devices should feel confident that their device will treat them well for another year.
If you don’t have an iPhone, you’re going to want to get your hands on iPhone 4. Although the iPhone 3GS will be sold with iPhone 4 simultaneously, purchasing the latest phone is recommended. The difference in price is not worth being an entire generation behind the curve with what could be the most important electronic device you own; your phone. There has never been a better time to buy an iPhone, and ATT is offering new tiered data pricing that is very competitively priced.
iPhone 4 is imminent. Although there haven’t been any hands on reviews of this device, Apple has a proven track record for releasing reliable world class products.
