iPhone 4 Review Part 1

[@devinzippidee]

I am getting this phone on Wednesday and I can't wait! I always listen and watch your videos, Noah in particular, before I buy a phone because I know you know what you're talking about! Thanks for the review!

[@JurassicBoyz006]

Hey did you enjoy the iPhone 4 I’m just curious im from the future !!!

[@maullster]

I read that there's a way to reset the proximity sensor in the setttings. And as for the signal issue, the problem is something Apple announced and it makes a lot of sense. With all iPhones they make them display bars differently than how AT&T says they should. So iPhones show more bars than the phone has sometimes. So if you have bad service in the area (which makes sense) the phone might still show 5 bars, and covering the antenna gets rid of those fake bars and lowers the real ones too

[@markuss98804]

I still have this phone! 2015

[@SilentMagician7]

@Croozer Exactly what I'm thinking. None of those issues have been happening besides the antenna issues and even that is still somewhat dependent on the signal strength in your area.

[@pastpianist]

the proximity sensor problem is because it is now located above the ear piece and not to the left of it. so when you held it to your shoulder with your head, the phone turned outwards (watch the video when he does it). Before, it would be fine because the sensor was still close to you ear, but that turn and the sensors new position makes it seem like nothing is close to it

[@TheAlphaWoomy]

My iPhone experience was a good one too, my local Best Buy was dead on the morning of launch. They opened at 10am and I was there at 9am and was the only one there. I was in and out in ten minutes when they did open.

[@bobfreeman814]

@TheNurfd yes, it makes it so your skin doesnt come in contact with the metal peices, so it eliminates the reception issue.

[@maullster]

@awsometurkey I'm not saying the issue isn't real. I'm saying it's blown out of proportion. Yes skin contact lowers your signal. But the problem is also AT&T because they don't provide good coverage. I have good coverage where I live. But I also have a similar issue with my 3GS because my metal case lowers signal. And with the iPhone 4, most people should have a case to protect it anyways, so that eliminates the issue. I'd be more worried about my phone being damaged than having bad signal

[@757latinos]

great review noah i have the iphone 4 but i havent had any problems with it but i have notice the signal drop a bar or two but they end up poping back up quickly so i dont know

[@Colemo3]

Gettin the iPhone 4 in a week, can't wait

[@Mr_Jack_Of_All_Trades_]

I think that the proximity sensor on the iPhone4 is on top of the earphone and not beside it like the 3gs! So maybe that has something to do with it?

[@THISISMYCATFACE]

Hi Phonedog! Love your review!. Would you consider reviewing your favorite iphone4 apps on Appolicious It would be really helpful cause not many have the 14 yet, Please?

[@Chiger23]

@maullster Covering the antenna gets rid of those fake bars and lowers the real ones too? That made no sense. The major problem are the dropped calls, I don't care what the signal says, but dropped calls are a big problem.

[@DuDaX]

I say the following: you like the iPhone, buy one; you like the HTC, buy one; you like samsung, buy one; you like nokia, buy one. No one has to bash this phone or the other because they dislike it or simply don't know anything about the phone. All that really matter is what phone you like and can afford, no one has any right to bash you for that because, in the end you are the one who will use the phone, not them ;)

[@TheFlex21]

@CapitalGamer when I say flash, I don't mean camera flash, I mean flash video...you know how many videos on the internet use flash?? facetime has to be ON WIFI, it doesn't work on network EVERYONE experiences signal problems if they hold it in one of 2 ways yellow spots SUPPOSEDLY go away, that remains to be seen

[@YounanPhoto]

Hey Noah, do you think those minor issues are enough reason not to upgrade to this phone because I really want an iphone, maybe I should just save cash and get the 3GS if this is having so many problems?

[@maullster]

@Chiger23 what I mean is that if you have bad service but the phone still shows 5 bars. But lets say you really have like 2 bars. Then you cover up the antenna and it drops to 1 real bar, in which case the phone actually shows you one bar. From what I've seen people who were in areas with 5 real bars had trouble dropping them a lot

[@mutanttaco]

@DccR27 I think what he meant was that apple has really only one or two different devices for sale at one time( iPhone 4 & the 3GS) , while android has htc, Dell, motorola, etc. Cranking out new phones almost weekly.

[@bakerskaterboy6]

what are the pros and cons of jailbreaking? should i do it? what are the risks

[@A99YearOld]

@davecarldude It has the option to switch CAPS LOCK ON or off

[@luigi90x11]

what i dont understand is why apple put the antenna at the bottom instead of at the top. if they have done that there wouldnt be that much problem in the first place.

[@hiazn69]

I don't know why people make such a big deal about the iphone, or android? To each his own. If you like the iphone, good for you. If you like android, good for you. The iphone is not for everyone, likewise the android. So I don't know why everyone gets so offended when people comment. As for me, the main reason I won't get the iphone is because it's only available on AT&T, if not I would consider it? As for now, I'll get the Droid X.

[@SilentMagician7]

@07liberian List? There's one consistent problem with the iPhone and that's the issue with the antenna. That problem isn't even a real problem since putting a case on your $700.00 device like any intelligent person would, makes that problem non existent. The issue comes from the skin touching the antenna blocking it's ability to receive strong signals as well as the signal strength in the area. If the signal strength in the area is low and the antenna blocked, then you'll lose bars.

[@MusicandDancing4Ever]

@avarakadabraful right, ugly people always calling others ugly because of their own insecurities, but ugly people know ugly, so they would talk.

[@robertg5a]

desire or iphone 4?please im having such a hard time deciding which one to get

[@SimX9000]

Please post part 2 asap!

[@TheFlex21]

@ninjakid164 it doesn't have flash I'm not talking about flash for the camera I'm talking about the flash that web browser use for videos & gaming

[@kenny_n_k_e]

He is not a free agent as he is the Editor-In-Chief of PhoneDog! LOLS!

[@zonk2015]

something changed about you noah, i have no idea what it is lol oh wait, you dont have your glasses on! LOL!

[@NayemChowdhury07]

I have 3 question... 1.What is so good about AT&T? 2.Why are everyone dying for that? 3.Is it better then T-Mobile?

[@zsmorr92]

@EmceeGeek What apple described was a software issue, yet this is clearly a hardware issue with the antenna itself.

[@globalko]

Why I like the Iphone more then other phones like EVO, it's cause it's simple. Just plug it in to ur PC/MAC it's will sync. Musik player really simple, camera really good and simple. Yeah it's simple and fast.:) Great review

[@TheKontrarian]

look how long it took for the bars to go down. I think this issue has been blown way out of proportion. Who is going to be holding their phone that tight, that long? As far as the proximity sensor goes... it's simple... LOCK the screen when you're on the call. Easy. Great review so long phonedog. on to video 2.

[@ninjakid164]

@TheFlex21 by the way it does have flash and just because you are poor and cant afford it doesnt mean evrybody else is in the same boat apple sold like 1.7 mil in the first 3 days or so

[@cdawg2015]

the death grip is not the iphone 4. its ios4. the software. if you hold the 3gs or 3g like that with ios4 it will lose service too!

[@smittysays100]

His upper lip is sweaty! What's up with shaved headed bald guys and loop earrings? LOL!

[@TheAlphaWoomy]

I think the proximity sensor is with iOS4 and not the iPhone 4 itself.

[@bodezutpha]

What issues were you having with the Nexus One?

[@M5xThully]

Noah or anyone else who has the iPhone 4, should I get this? Even with the signal problems and other stuff? Or does it not really affect you guys?

[@MojeYTube]

if You buy iPhone you mostly pay for the brand. Samsung has many great phones and they are much chiper - for example Samsung Wave

[@Syntax.error.]

WHERE ARE YOUR GLASSESSSSSSSS :O I like you more with the cool dark glasses.

[@chrlskrkl]

i have had an iphone 3g and 4 for a couple of years they are made great they have tons of apps but i got tired of it and didnt feel like paying 40$ a month its an amazing phone and very eay to use but im probally going to but the incredible or the fasciante because i want to try something new

[@Rliljr]

@XTN94 you do know that it only has one speaker, right? the other thing is a mic

[@fireshadow2000]

Can I remove an icon off shown?the screen if I don't want a paticular app shown?

[@awokencamel]

@phonedog Is reviewing phones like an offical job? If it is it would be my dream job.

[@shatroghistro]

HOw much did they pay you for advertisment? BEst buy coupon?

[@TheRyaniscoolio]

noah. what is up with your camera?? did it break?

[@Adam29477]

I have iPhone 4 I love it just got to get used to screen cos of my ipad

[@MrBilaal7861]

[@45theknight]

[@kevinf1990]

i think he needs to turn up the gain on his mic. i always have to turn my volume all the way up just to hear him

[@carter4594]

As far as size, is the iphone 4 considered little, medium, massive, etc... I would like to get this phone, but I don't like small phones. I know compared to the Droid x, Htc evo, and HTC HD, it's a little smaller. Can someone help me with this.

[@Makaveli175]

I don't Know what to get Iphone or HTC Help !!

[@thetreverpitts]

@TheRyaniscoolio its still rendering in to the hd

[@OwensMusic1]

@jeremyisback Don't get the white one. i used one and it makes the screen look bad and it hurts your eyes after awhile.

[@MrAmf3]

i want part 2 now

[@GarrettLunn]

@VideoSk8Rs34 it senses when the phone is close to your head during a call so the screen turns off so no buttons are hit.

[@zsmorr92]

@Charlesb1 The nexus one (and any android phone that gets android 2.2) has full flash 10.1 and it isn't bad at all, and it is still in beta, wait till it has hardware acceleration and it will be amazing. HTC sense devices have flash light, that is pretty decent, flash videos aren't great, but they are watchable. And flash games actually work fairly well, they run a tiny bit slow, but way better than I ever would of imagined on a phone.

[@KJavier88]

i think my phone os broken but im not sure cause theres 2 speakers grills on the bottom and sound only come out of 1 is it suppose to be like that?

[@tysnasty2]

[@111111Red]

[@TannerBubba66]

[@thefsxflyer]

[@lccs187]

im holding my phone as u speak and my bars aren't dropping idk

[@ApacheTech]

@imacrashtestdumy just hold the app and it will show a red x by it then press it then you'll delete. nut if their the apss the iphone came with then u can not delete it unless u hack or somethin

[@MrJimOrb]

@OwensMusic1 I'm going down this list in the order that you have named them... 1. The software is of higher quality than iOS and has a similar amount of money put toward it as apple has on iOS. and you need a mental illness to call it difficult to use. No offense to anybody who is mentally ill 2. the "terrible app store" is terrible in no way possible. if you can find a way, tell me please 3. iOS has only OK apps too, and thousands of repeats of the same app in a different layout.

[@ovechkin651]

You could be the #2 guy for the Hawks :D, they don't really know what they're doing right now ;)

[@slipup2]

But will it blend?

[@bubberdub]

4 inch an bigger screened phones are just too big, like doesn't really fit your hand. the iphone 4 is pppeerrrfettt for me. :D cant wait to get mine!!!!!!!!!! thanks for the review Noah, lol i keep watching all these iphone vids to get me excited. the issues are nothing to me, they'll probably be fixed soon anyway. :)

[@okies90]

part two plz :D

[@vaudou_]

@namegamereviews if they suck at marketing then why do they sell over a million iPhone 4's in 5 days? The point of marketing is to entice customers to but your product and they fact that they sell like crazy on every phone they make says that it's working.

[@daxx2k]

I'm not having any of these problem at all!

[@jaqez]

17 thumbs down this far. Must be from Apple fanboys that deny reality and don't want to hear that there's problems with Iphone 4.

[@Mgapcdev]

[@TheFlex21]
