[citation][nom]ap3x[/nom]Please explain how the IPhone 4 is obsolete compared to what? It still has a better screen than any phone on the market, there is only 2 other phones whose camera ranks better and neither one of those runs Android, it has a front facing camera, which again, only one other Andriod device (EVO4) has. Does not sound obsolete to me. Can't say 4g is why it is obsolete because neither Verizon or AT&T have their networks rolled out yet and even when they do the coverage will suck for 2 years while they install everything. Andriod phones are nice devices and I respect the passion but you guys are delusional if you think that the IPhone will not sell well on Verizons network. It will more than likely outpace Android sales on Verizon.[/citation]Mate, my old Sony Ericcson phone had a front facing camera back in 2006, and that was one of the more basic models, furthermore what you are saying about the iPhone's rear camera is just rubbish.
The whole reason the front facing camera thing seems so special is because it is no longer in the market. It was tried out a few years ago, and was found to never be used and just a waste of money, quite well fitting the description; obsolete.
The iPhone's screen really isn't that great, sure the resolution may be ever so slightly higher than other phones, but have you ever seen a proper SuperAmoLED screen? (hint: Samsung Galaxy S), They are just beautiful. Not to mention it has also been proven that apple's "Retina" display, really isn't all that "Retina". most people use the phones close enough to their eyes that it does not qualify as retina display, apple's benchmark on this is at way too long distance for practical use.
The funtionality and customizability of iOS is to spit on, basically apple claims to know what the consumers want, which really, they get all wrong, but because the general public has never seen anything better because most people are too stu*** to look further than the stupid apple craze, they just blindly go buy an iPhone and will blindly argue that it is the best thing on the planet.
Furthermore the fact that apple rolls out devices which don't even support the newest spec networks is just a dirty trick. They purposefully dont give these features, so that a while later they can introduce a new phone with these features, call it the 4G, and then call it revolutionary and magical, whilst really phones from 3 years ago could do the same thing. Apple just gets away with this because people are too naive.
What more that I hate about apple, their warranty policy: Jailbreak your phone (software) you f*** up your warranty on your hardware. I mean, you have rightfully paid your dearly earnt cash on your new beautiful phone, but then apple tells you what you can and can't do with it, and the things you bought the phone to do, you can't do without being punished.
perhaps your right about the sales thing, of course it will sell, but only because of naive people buying them, whom haven't done their homework.
im still using a cheap phone (Sony Erricson, something in walkman series), and want to get a new phone soon. Now im just holding off to see what WP7 becomes. I love what android has become, and will probably go for one, but won't be looking at any apple device.
sorry bout the long post
