The world has waited with bated breath and watched the unveiling of perhaps one of the most awaited technological innovation of recent times: the iPhone 4. The mobile application development and the wireless application development arenas have primed themselves to cater to the humongous demand that is predicted to emerge out of this cutting-edge foray into the iPhone segment. The iPhone application development community is also teeming with excited developers inventing hordes of applications that leverage the much touted abilities of this legendary device. But we take a step away from the hype! We go behind the scenes and try to pry open the lid to discern what the iPhone 4 is not.
Sure the sleek and svelte new design is ultra thin and makes many a people go weak in their knees. But with 9.33 mm thickness and two glass panels comprising the case, the iPhone is one delicate thing to handle. As statistics point out the major amount of iPhone repairs occur coz of cracking or scratching of the glass. Even though the iPhone case is scratch resistant a major portion of iPhone sales and service is derived from body damage and from water damage. The new design incorporates a stainless steel strip around its body that acts like an antenna which is touted to multiply its cellular range. The truth though is still under covers as the initial test results do not suggest any major improvements. Users in rural areas where the cellular tower distances vary drastically, they could experience better reception but for urban users it’s still the same old connectivity. Another state-of-the-art feature that Steve Jobs unveiled with flair at the Iphone4 launch was the video chat using FaceTime. The hype around it was justified considering that the sleek handset will allow users to have virtual face-to-face communication. But as of now the video-calling feature is limited only over Wi-Fi and down the road there’s no clarity whether FaceTime will be accepted by other networks allowing users to chat irrespective of their network providers.
The overall allure associated with iPhone 4 is in a way justified considering its enticing looks and features but as is the case with every good thing, there’s always something beyond the facade of primary aspects. Chances are these cons will not come in the way of iPhone fans grabbing a hold of this latest addiction to hit the market. iPhone application development and mobile application development communities in general await the response to this Apple phone that’s causing ripples around the wireless application development arena.
