On September 12, 2022, a presentation of three Apple smartphones took place. Some conventionally call the new items iPhone 11. But until recently, everyone dreamed of getting a compact “Five”. 5 years have passed since then, and the manufacturer has managed to both surprise and disappoint fans with its developments.
What year did iPhone 5 come out? Few people remember this, since since then a huge number of new products have been released. But it was in 2012 that the legendary “Five” was released, which largely changed the state of things and launched a future marathon of changes and new products from the Apple company.
The emergence of the smartphone
In what year the iPhone 5 came out, many will no longer remember. But the presentation, as always, took place on September 12. This happened in 2012. On September 21, the phone was launched almost worldwide. Only Russia, which was able to sell the iPhone 5 from December 14, was deprived.
The presentation took place in San Francisco, California. The company's current engineer, Jonathan Ive, worked on the new product. Interestingly, data about this model began to appear even before the announcement of the 4s. The death of Steve Jobs led to even more active leaks, which was unusual for the company before.
Before the announcement took place, Apple decided to attract the attention of journalists. They sent out invitations to some members of the media, which showed the number 12 casting a shadow in the shape of the number 5.
During the announcement, not only a new smartphone was presented, but also an iPod, iOS 6, iTunes 11, as well as a new store in Barcelona. It became known that the music resource was closing.
Smartphone promotion
After the announcement, the company's shares rose in price. After just 2 days it was possible to place a pre-order. On September 14, the first batch of 2 million devices was ordered in just an hour. Previous models sold within a day. So this figure turned out to be a record.
Some resources conducted a social survey, which indicated that half of the buyers were generally dissatisfied with the new product. Although if you remember what year the iPhone 5 came out, it’s hard to imagine what users didn’t like. After all, at that time it was definitely the best smartphone on the market.
Later, information was collected that some turned out to be opponents of the new Lightning connector, others were not used to nano-sim, which had just appeared, and still others were upset by the lack of a 128 GB version. But almost 40% of buyers were absolutely satisfied with the purchase.
Apple iPhone 4 Review
The iPhone 4 is not an easy thing to review.
Most readers know that in the world of gadgets, any new device from Apple is a big event, preceded by numerous rumors, speculation, and then days, weeks, or even months of anticipation. Most definitely, the iPhone 4 is no exception. It may even have been Apple's most successful product launch yet. We've already seen how Apple and AT&T servers were overloaded on the first day of pre-orders, and how the next batch of pre-orders were delayed due to overwhelming demand. We also saw ardent fans not far from Apple stores, pitching their tents a week before the phone went on sale. And the iPhone 4 doesn't seem to disappoint - with all the new features like the super-fast A4 processor, a new camera on the front and a five-megapixel camera on the back, a completely new industrial design, and that crazy Retina Display screen. No one would dare say that Apple was relaxing.
So, the question is - is the iPhone 4 really worth all the hype? Can he deliver on Steve Jobs' WWDC promises and strengthen Apple's market position in the face of adversaries like Google and Microsoft?
We have answers to these - and many more - questions. In this review.
Iron
Perhaps the most significant change to the new iPhone is the redesign of the design in favor of a radically industrial one - Apple seems to have completely changed its mind about how a phone should look and feel, and the result is, to put it mildly, amazing.
Industrial design
In his WWDC presentation, Steve Jobs compared the iPhone 4's design to a “good old beautiful Leica camera,” and that couldn't be further from the truth. Instead of working on a streamlined, plastic exterior (like the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS), the company decided to make the body of the device significantly more complex and detailed. iPhone 4 is made of three main parts: two pieces of polished, reinforced glass, and a stainless steel frame between them. Plus all sorts of small details, like volume buttons, and seams on the metal frame (more on that below). The phone is noticeably thinner than the same iPhone 3GS (.37 inches versus .48), but weighs the same, so it feels more “knocked down,” solid and dense. It feels great in the hand, although it may take a little getting used to the sharp edges if you've had a 3G or 3GS before.
It seems hard to overstate how cool the design of the iPhone 4 is. It makes the 3GS look chubby and cheap, and even a phone like the HTC Droid Incredible - which just came out - looks "previous generation".
So, as mentioned above, the phone consists of three main parts. The front side of the device is made of very durable glass, which Jony Ive described as “comparable in strength to sapphire crystal, and 30 times harder than plastic.” A small cut in the glass at the top is intended for the speaker, and the already familiar Home button is still there, below the screen. The left side of the phone features updated volume buttons and a new silent mode switch. On the right side there is a slot for Micro SIM, on the top there is a power/standby button, a headphone jack and an additional microphone for noise reduction. At the bottom there is a speaker, a microphone and a 30-pin connector. The back of the phone is made of the same ultra-durable glass, it only has a new five-megapixel camera with LED flash, and, of course, the Apple logo.
To sum it up, the iPhone 4 is superior to any other smartphone currently on the market when it comes to design. It looks like a much more expensive device than it actually is, something like a Mobiado or Vertu - only the design is even better. And it's not just about how he looks; The materials feel very nice in your hands - this is clearly premium class. The first few days we had this phone, we simply didn't want to let it go, and that says a lot about how beautiful and pleasant it really is to use.
Entrails
It's not just the outside that's changed—the iPhone4 has been completely redesigned on the inside. For starters, Apple replaced Samsung's legacy ARM Cortex-A8 processor found in the iPhone 3GS with its own A4 chip (the same one that powers the iPad), which is kind of funny in itself because... again the same processor based on ARM Cortex-A8. The company doesn't say what its clock speed is, but we're guessing it's something like 1GHz. The phone is definitely faster than the 3GS, in particular the graphics are processed faster and the overall responsiveness of the device is higher. It's clearly faster than the 3GS, but since the 3GS itself was quite fast, the difference isn't as noticeable as it was when going from 3G to 3GS.
The iPhone 4 has 512 megabytes of RAM on board, which is a big step up from the 256 megabytes in previous models and the iPad. And as for storage for user data - you can now buy an iPhone with 16 or 32 gigabytes of memory - which is not bad, but since the company just introduced the ability to record 720p video at 30 frames per second, this reserve may quickly run out. It's a little surprising that the company hasn't doubled the maximum storage capacity (to 64 gigabytes), as it did recently with the iPod touch. Well, as for wireless communications, the iPhone 4 has support for Wi-Fi 802.11n, four-standard HSUPA and, of course, Bluetooth 2.1.
The redesigned internal layout allows the phone to pack a higher-capacity lithium-ion battery than before. In addition, the new phone has two built-in cameras (VGA on the front, and a five-megapixel with LED flash on the back), a new additional microphone for noise reduction (similar to the one found in the Nexus One), a gyroscope in addition to the standard accelerometer, light sensor and sensor proximity. Like the 3GS, there is an AGPS chip built in.
And a few words about antennas. Apple made the steel frame around the phone like a large antenna for all wireless interfaces. The big question is will this help fix the endless dropped calls on the AT&T network? Well, in our tests, we got significantly, significantly fewer call drops than we had on the 3GS. That is, we repeat: yes, the iPhone 4 does seem to have overcome the problem of dropped calls on the AT&T network. However, we had a few problems, in downtown New York in particular, but it's hard to say whether the problem was with our phone, or with the surrounding buildings, or with our subscribers who had 3GS.
Screen
Most likely, by now you already know that the iPhone 4 has a completely new screen. Apple calls its 960x640 IPS LED-backlit display “Retina Display” due to its high pixel density. At the same 3.5-inch size as the previous screens, the new display offers an insane 326ppi density and 800:1 contrast ratio. Steve made a big statement at the conference about the science behind the technology, saying that the screen's resolution exceeds the resolution of the human eye. There has been a lot of debate about this claim, but what we can say for sure is that our eyes have never seen a more detailed and clear screen on any mobile device.
Not only are the colors deep and rich, but we actually can't make out the pixels on the screen. Yes, if you take a macro camera, you can distinguish everything, but in real life no “steps” are visible on the screen. Text is rendered amazingly clearly and cleanly - web pages that were previously just strings of pixels (on the 3GS) are absolutely readable on the new phone without magnification, although the font looks microscopic. This is impressive. And it's even more impressive when you look at hi-res photos or watch 720p videos on your phone - all the details are simply amazing. And what’s very good is that the text in all applications, even if the authors do not bother to update them, will look great, because their interface uses a single font display system.
To sum it up, we can say that you simply will not find a better display on any phone, and these are not empty words.
Cameras
The cameras in the new iPhone will definitely spark a lot of discussion because this is an area where Apple has been slow to progress in the past. The 3GS had a three-megapixel camera without flash, which was good for quick shots, but not much else. But the company seems to have finally listened to users and added a five-megapixel camera on the back and a VGA camera on the front.
Let's deal with the better one first. At WWDC, Jobs said that in order to take great photos, it's not enough to just increase the number of megapixels. To make your photos look better, you need to increase the amount of light so that more light hits the matrix. In short, Apple is using a new backside-illuminated sensor that is significantly more sensitive to light. Well, they also made more megapixels. And what can we say? iPhone 4 photos look stunning! Plus, the phone is capable of taking absolutely usable (and sometimes even cool) photos in low light conditions without a flash. It seems that everything that was said about the “amount of light” really played a role. Autofocus works well in most cases. In general, we did not have any problems using the camera in the iPhone 4: in addition, the tandem of A4 and iOS 4 has significantly increased the speed of photography - now everything happens almost instantly.
As for shooting video in 720p mode, in short: everything we captured looked very sharp and (mostly) free of any artifacts.
The camera on the front... well, it's a VGA camera. It captures your face well during video calls, and performs surprisingly well in low-light conditions, but it certainly won't win any prizes in a best-camera competition. In general, everything is fine with a small camera, nothing special.
Speakers
We've never had any problems with the speakers on previous generations of iPhones (although we can say that the speaker has never been as loud as we'd like), but it's clear that Apple has done its job here too, upping the quality of the speaker and speaker calls. In addition to the fact that the volume of both speakers has increased, the clarity of their sound has been noticeably improved. You may already know that the Motorola Droid has had one of the best audio tracks of any phone we've heard so far, so the new iPhone definitely gives it a head start. The first time we called from it, we were walking through one of the noisiest places in New York - along Fifth Avenue, and even then it was noticeable that the additional microphone for noise reduction was doing its job - even the noise of sirens surrounding us did not interfere with our ability to hear each other perfectly . There's a clear difference between the old 3GS and the new iPhone 4 in terms of sound quality, and what's more, we think it's significantly better than the new HTC EVO.
Software
As with previous Apple phone updates, hardware is only half the story. Along with the iPhone 4, iOS 4 is released - a new version of the operating system with a huge number of new features, the largest of which are multitasking, video calls, folders, an improved Mail application, etc. Additionally, Apple has ported the iPad's iBooks app to the small screen and even made a new version of its popular iMovie app for the iPhone 4. Overall, the operating system is still largely the same as before, but has received a few major changes. which need to be talked about.
Multitasking
This is a big topic of conversation.
Since the dawn of iPhone apps (remember 2008?), people have been angry about the lack of multitasking (for third-party apps). Of course, it was possible to keep Mail, Safari, iPod and several other programs from Apple itself in the phone, but other developers were not worthy of these privileges. The company's arguments were that multitasking always has a bad effect on the battery life of the phone. And in the end, Apple presented multitasking in its own manner - “the way it really should be.” But the programs were not allowed to hang completely in the background, but were limited to several services, such as receiving GPS signals, playing music, communicating with VoIP, and organized quick switching between tasks. And what came of it? Will this help with normal multitasking? If you answer in one word, then: yes.
The point is, it may not be the most “real” multitasking, but for the vast majority of us it is enough. Everything looks and feels like “real” multitasking.
(From the translator: I have to apologize, the text here has been truncated. I wouldn’t want to turn the review of the phone into another review of the capabilities of iOS 4)
Battery
For many people, this point is very important, and we have a couple of surprises. The battery in the new iPhone 4 exceeded our expectations. The phone lasted 38 hours - yes, 38 hours - in (our) real life, where we made calls, played games, received a lot of email (via push notifications) and calendar invitations, played music over Bluetooth in the car, and carried out endless tests (downloaded new applications, moved icons, changed settings). The new phone was equipped with a larger battery, and paired with the A4 processor, this gave a good boost.
Once we have a chance to test the battery better, we'll do so, but we think the iPhone 4 has left previous generations of phones behind.
Conclusion
We won't beat around the bush - in our opinion, the iPhone 4 is the best smartphone available today. This phone is a combination of great new hardware, that amazing display, updated cameras, and major improvements to the operating system. Yes, there are still some things we'd like to see Apple fix, and yes, there are some good alternatives to the iPhone. But when you see this product in its entirety - the complete, complete software and hardware, its performance, its huge selection of applications, and many other small details - we think this is the cream of the crop. We won't argue about taste - some people simply prefer the Android or Sybmian operating style - but the overall picture is such that it's very hard to deny that Apple has left all its competitors one step behind with this phone. But of course, in this ever-changing smartphone market, it's hard to predict how long they'll hold the edge and whose device will become the Next Big Thing.

Sales
What year did iPhone 5 come out? This happened in 2012. 10 days after the presentation, it was possible to purchase the phone from official dealers. Australia was the first to try out the new product.
It later turned out that usually the first in line were employees of mobile operators and representatives of the media who wanted to be the first to record a review. In Japan, resellers were seen in the forefront, who bought the device for 600 - 700 dollars, and resold it for a thousand “American rubles”.
There were also those who stood in line for a whole week. Thus, the first buyer in the USA was able to hold out for 7 days for the sake of his dream. Afterwards, in an interview, Hazim Said said that he was very pleased with the purchase.
When did iPhone 5 come out in Russia? This happened much later than in other countries - December 14. It’s difficult to guess what this is connected with, but such a delay did not prevent some fans from acquiring the “Five” earlier.
Many went abroad to buy a new smartphone. Some fell for the provocation of unscrupulous sellers who imported “gray” models into the country.
iPhone 5 packaging and accessories
The new product was supplied in black and white. This is how they decided to distinguish the models by packaging. If previously all versions of devices were delivered in a white box, this time a smartphone with a black body was packaged in matching-colored packaging. It looked appropriate and stylish.
On one of the ends the model of the device was indicated, and on top there was a photo of it. Based on the packaging, it was difficult to confuse the phones with each other.
The package did not look expensive, but it included all the necessary tools for using the smartphone. There was a branded envelope with documentation, a clip for removing the SIM card tray, a headset, a charger and a cable.
A special feature of the new product was that the headphones were packaged in a separate box with a plastic mold. When the iPhone 5 came out, this decision seemed very unusual.
Detailed review of the apple iPhone 4 smartphone
iPhone 4 is a touchscreen smartphone from Apple. The appearance of the iPhone 4 was an important event in the mobile device market. Despite the high cost, the smartphone is distinguished by its quality and excellent characteristics. Undoubtedly, the expanded functionality of a smartphone with a 3.5-inch display and a thickness of only 9.3 mm will be appreciated. Oleophobic coating on the case prevents fingerprints. Apple iPhone 4 32 gb is available in black and white models. However, at the moment only the black model is available to consumers.

iPhone 4 review
The first difference between the iPhone 4 and its predecessors is the new design. It should be noted that the device is made of chemically strengthened aluminosilicate glass. The end edging is made from a non-insulated stainless steel frame. The steel frame serves as the device's antenna. Moreover, the new member of the family has become heavier and fits perfectly in the hand.
Apple iPhone 4 8 gb is equipped with a camera for video calls on the front panel and an additional microphone provided for noise reduction. The volume control buttons and the Mute lever are very neatly made. The button that goes into sleep mode is a bit stiff, but precise. The speakers are covered with mesh. The SIM slot has been replaced by Micro SIM.
Phone display overview
The new Retina display on an IPS matrix with a resolution of 960 x 640 impresses with a certain composure. According to experts, the highest resolution provides superior images and a wide field of view. It seems that the picture is painted. The saturation and viewing angles are incredible. When tilting the phone, the brightness remains virtually unchanged. The contrast settings are 800:1.

We can say that the display to some extent increases the functionality of the smartphone. With it, viewing pictures, viewing websites, videos, and checking email have become much more convenient. Obviously, the multitouch display works quickly and clearly. Uninterrupted operation of the display is ensured by an updated graphics subsystem based on the PowerVR SGX535 graphics processor.
Also, Apple engineers worked to create pixels 78 micrometers wide and increased the display resolution four times compared to previous models. At 326 pixels per inch, text and graphics look smooth at any scale. You can turn off the light sensor and set brightness settings to extremes.
Phone performance specs
The performance of the apple iPhone 4 32 gb is twice that of other iPhone models. Now you can work with several applications at the maximum possible speed of the device.
Apple a4
Phone memory overview
There are 3 options for iPhone 4 with memory:
- 8 gb;
- 16 gb;
- 32 GB;
When synchronizing the device with a computer, the apple iPhone 4 16 gb is automatically detected as a USB device. Copying photos, music, videos is carried out using the iTunes program.
Innovations
Speaking of packaging, it’s worth mentioning the redesigned headphones. It was then that the now popular EarPods became known, of which a huge number of copies are now being made. Along with the new smartphone, the user saw for the first time a redesigned headset from Apple.
The shape of the droplet has changed, which now seems very convenient for any ear. Also on the ear pad there are several holes at once, from which sound comes. They are directed in different directions, which significantly improves sound quality.
But not only the shape and new holes affected the sound quality. The developers tried to improve it in other ways. This is probably why EarPods now seem like standard “droplets”.
The sound became better, high-quality bass appeared, which got rid of extraneous noise and a rattling tint.
New cable
In the package you can also notice a new Lightning cable, which appeared in the package for the first time in the year of release of the iPhone 5. It was decided to change the docking device connector. It has become more compact and thinner. Probably, it was then that the idea of making devices ultra-thin was born.
Some users were unhappy with this connector option because it was considered not universal. But now this problem does not seem serious, since developers have long ago transferred their devices to this type of cable.
4g support overview
iPhone 4 (8 gb) does not support the 4 g communication standard . Therefore, those who want to buy a 4G phone can opt for the iPhone 5 s. The 3 g icon located in the status bar will be replaced with 4 g at the moment of connection to the HSPA network. Regarding 4G, many Apple users are familiar with 3g technology. From the consumer's point of view, the characteristics of the increased number should imply better quality of mobile services. For example, the list of 4g networks includes: HSPA+, LTE, WiMAX. Of all the 4 g-networks listed, iPhone 4 only supports HSPA+. This network does not belong to the LTE standard, therefore the iOS operating system has different icons for the type of mobile network - 4 g separately, LTE separately.
Appearance of the smartphone
Of course, then it was difficult to imagine what would be possible to come up with to create new products like the iPhone Xs. But changes with devices occurred gradually. Of course, if now after “Five” they showed the same “Ten” it would seem like a colossal breakthrough. But between these two models, about 10 modifications were released. In 5 years it was possible to move from those technologies to the current ones.
The same thing happened in the year the iPhone 5 was released. The appearance was similar to that of the 4s model. The manufacturer made the body a little thinner and made it taller.
Due to this modification, the smartphone became lighter and looked more modern in the hands. The designers decided to enlarge the screen. This would hardly have happened if Steve Jobs were alive. The Apple founder spent his entire life fighting to make the display smaller. He probably never expected that a 6.5-inch iPhone would appear in 2022.
Still, they did a good job on The Five. The new product was aimed at male and female audiences at the same time. Due to its strict shapes and classic colors, men definitely liked it, but the lightness and certain weightlessness of the device attracted women.
It was decided to change the body material. The iPhone 4s was made of glass, but the new product received an anodized aluminum cover. Now the surface of the case had a matte finish, and the black seemed less rich and looked more like dark gray.
In this model, it was decided to move the headphone jack from top to bottom, and also redesign the speakers.
Smartphone screen
The display of the new product has become longer in length, but the width remains the same as the “Four”. Now the screen resolution is 1136 x 640 pixels. Since then, the picture format has moved to an aspect ratio of 16:9, instead of 3:2
The matrix remained the same, but it was clear that they had worked on it. Hence, changes for the better affected contrast, saturation and brightness levels. The color gamut has noticeably increased, and the anti-glare effect has also shown itself to be excellent.
"Stuffing" of the smartphone
For the new device, the company has prepared a redesigned A 6 processor. The appearance of this chip did not cause as much excitement as it did with the A 12 this year. The CPU ran on 2 cores, while many competitive smartphones already ran on four. The core frequency reached only 1 GHz. However, the manufacturer then said that productivity would have to double.
As always, Apple did not disclose any technical details, but later we learned that the CPU had become more powerful due to a specially developed architecture, and an improved GPU with an increased frequency was responsible for graphics.
Performance was also supported by increased RAM capacity. Now users have access to 1 GB of RAM. Later, benchmark tests began to talk about improved performance.
iPhone 4 battery
The built-in lithium battery allows you to use the device for up to eight hours on a 3G network in talk mode. Also, the battery will last for 200 hours in standby mode . If we talk about video mode, the maximum playback time reaches ten hours, audio – forty hours. The Internet usage time on a 3G network is six hours, and nine hours on a Wi-Fi network. It is possible to charge the battery via a USB port from a computer, as well as using a power supply from the network.

Other iPhone 5 Features
The smartphone was based on iOS 6, which was presented at the presentation along with the new device. Due to the change in screen resolution, the developer had to rework proprietary applications for it. All necessary applications were installed on the smartphone. Although, as is known, most of them were never used by their owners.
The manufacturer declared increased autonomy, although tests showed the opposite. Apparently the developers did not calculate the power consumption of the enlarged screen. Despite this not the best indicator, the new product began to charge much faster, which undoubtedly turned out to be a plus.
The camera has become noticeably better. Of course, by 2022 it would have shown pictures of very poor quality, but then, in comparison with its competitors, these were very good photographs.
The camera shot with 8 megapixels at aperture 2.4. The smartphone could take pictures in a resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels. Despite the fact that the characteristics of the module have not changed, the photos will actually turn out better than in the iPhone 4.
iPhone 4 and iOS4: impressions of use
Using the links, you can download the source files and evaluate their quality on your monitor or HDTV. When shooting at night or in a dark room, the picture quality drops significantly, but the video still turns out very smooth.
Hardware platform, battery life
From a hardware point of view, the iPhone 4 is not much different from the iPhone 3GS. The central processor is the A4 chip (Cortex A-8), operating at 800 MHz. Apple does not mention clock speed on the official website, but this fact is well known to everyone. There is also a PowerVR SGX540 graphics accelerator that supports OpenGLS and video decoding acceleration. Its performance is approximately 28 million polygons per second - an excellent indicator by the standards of mobile devices. In practice, this makes it possible to watch videos from YouTube in higher quality, excellent performance in games (the new versions of Need For Speed and FIFA look simply stunning), and the ability to view and edit HD videos.
If we talk about subjective impressions of the work, the difference in performance between the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS is almost invisible. The new smartphone displays “heavy” web pages faster thanks to double the amount of RAM. Here it is 512 megabytes, in the iPhone 3GS it is half as much. In general, there are no complaints about performance - the iPhone 4 works quickly, even if several applications are running simultaneously (we'll talk more about multitasking below). Even hefty photos of 12-14 megapixels are displayed and scaled by the iPhone 4 without significant delays.
The rest of the technical details should be well known to you. The smartphone is equipped with a Bluetooth 2.1 module with increased data transfer rates (EDR), with which it is now possible to connect wireless keyboards. If you have an iMac or a separate Apple Wireless Keyboard, you can “link” it to your iPhone and use it for typing. By the way, this function is also available to those who installed iOS4 on iPhone 3G, 3GS or iPod Touch. However, you still cannot transfer files via Bluetooth. Let us remember that this is the twenty-first century.
The Wi-Fi module now supports the IEEE 802.11n standard, however, when connected to an appropriate access point, you will not notice any increase in speed. When downloading something from the Internet using a laptop, the difference between 802.11g and 802.11n is noticeable, but in the case of a smartphone, it’s more of a fashion statement than a really necessary thing. In addition, this standard has not yet been certified in Russia. This will happen at best in the fall of this year.
The set of sensors, including an accelerometer, light sensor and proximity sensor, has been supplemented with a three-axis gyroscope. In the future, this will allow developers to create more advanced control models in games, but so far we have not been able to evaluate the advantages of the gyroscope.
The stated battery life for the iPhone 4 looks impressive even compared to record-breaking smartphones. In talk mode on 2G networks, the iPhone 4 should last up to 14 hours, in web surfing mode via a 3G connection - 6 hours, via Wi-Fi - 10 hours. Moreover, it can last up to 10 hours in video playback mode. Our tests showed that when watching a video, a fully charged battery is discharged in 7-8 hours, but on average, during normal use, the iPhone 4 has to be charged once every two days. And if you use the device in economy mode (short calls, SMS), you can go without charging for three or even 4 days. Excellent performance, to say the least.
iOS4 – what's new?
iPhone OS is now called iOS. iPhone 4 comes immediately with the fourth version of this operating system. Apple, as always, cites impressive numbers indicating improvements. In fact, iOS4 has over a hundred new features. However, there are not so many more or less significant among them.
1. Ability to change wallpaper on the desktop and lock screen . No comments. It took the Cupertino company three years to implement such a basic thing. However, as they say, better late than never.
Successor
What year was the iPhone 5s released? This happened on the same day that the iPhone 5 was discontinued. In 2013, on September 10, Apple introduced two phones at once. One of them was 5s.
This model is considered the successor to the previous one. The designers decided not to touch the appearance. Changes are noticeable only in the dual LED flash, unpainted metal on the end and a mechanical button.
When the iPhone 5s came out, many fans were perplexed. But the fact that the appearance of the device has not changed in any way does not mean that we have a complete clone. In fact, all the changes affected the insides of the smartphone.
Review of camera, TV and video iPhone 4
Firstly, 5MP cameras are equipped with digital zoom, focusing on any specified area. Therefore, switching cameras during a call is possible with just the touch of a button. Secondly, focusing is done with one touch. The iPhone 4 has support for video recording (resolution – 1280 x 720 in VGA format). The video recording speed is 30 frames per second. Also worth mentioning is the AirPlay video rotation function with a scan frequency of 720 p.

Characteristics of mobile positioning and communications of the phone
Apple iPhone 4 32 gb is equipped with a GPS receiver with A-GPS support. Also, when you launch the Maps app, the device will instantly provide an overview of your location. The first indicator will be indicative, since the operator’s base stations will be involved. Next, using satellite survey information, the device will determine the exact data. To navigate in a car, it is recommended to purchase an AppStore navigation system.
As for communications, the apple iPhone 4 32 gb supports Bluetooth 2.1e. The wireless headset uses Wi-Fi 802.11 b, 3G, EDGE, GPRS as a connection.
Changes in iPhone 5s
The new product was based on iOS 7. Now the case was powered by a new A 7 processor. Inside there were still only 2 cores, but they operated at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. It turned out to be a redesigned GPU, but the amount of RAM remained the same - 1 GB.
You could purchase a 16, 32 or 64 GB version. Despite the fact that the “filling” did not offer anything new, the improved smartphone was again faster than the previous one. Apparently, this is where the magic of Apple lies.
When the iPhone 5 s was released in Russia, it became much more popular than the previous model. It was even purchased after the release of “Six” and “Seven”. Despite the fact that sales in the United States started on September 20, the new product arrived in Russia only a month later – on October 25, 2013.
