Apple says that the iPhone 4 is the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone. But does it live up to the hype? How much better is it than its predecessor? A lot better. It’s much thinner (though slightly heavier), lasts longer on a charge (thanks to Apple’s A4 chip), and will offer two-way FaceTime video chat. You also get HD video recording and an all-new three-axis gyroscope that should make gameplay even more immersive.
Check out the spec and feature comparison below between the iPhone 4 and 3GS and let us know if it’s enough to tear you away from your current iPhone or another Android phone. Is there anything you think is missing (other than Verizon support)?
