Verizon Officially Announces iPhone Release Date

Have you been a loyal Apple fan but have not been too happy with the coverage and dropped calls of the AT and T service? Have you been a loyal Verizon customer, but really wanted to have the iPhone as your cellular device? If the previous question set applies to you, the following article will clarify the official release date of the iPhone to the Verizon network.

In mid January, Verizon made an official statement that they will soon be carrying the iPhone 4 as a communication and data device on their cellular network. The talk of Verizon carrying the iPhone has been brewing ever since Apple signed a contract with a Chinese manufacturer last march. Since that time the release date was speculated several times to be September, then November for holiday sales, but there was never a peep from the Verizon officials confirming or denying these allegations.

It is now official, the iPhone will be available to current customers on February 3rd and to new customers on the 10th. The largest letdown of this announcement was that the phone will operate on their current CDMA network rather than on their 4G LTE network. Their rationale for this is that the major complaints of current iPhone users is dropped calls and lack of coverage area. Their current network offers the most stable coverage and reliability available. The major question still unanswered is whether customers will be able to simultaneously browse the web and talk on their device while not on a wifi hotspot. Current AT and T customers are able to do this and this offers more than just web browsing, but also the ability to use the maps feature to find a location and to send emails while talking. These features are hallmark functions of the current iPhone 4 and the AT and T network and are charished by many potential and current users.

Verizon announced that the price of the devices would be the same as the current prices for new or eligible upgradable customers ont he AT and T network; those being $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB model. If you are not eligible for an upgrade the price is $499 for the 16GB or $599 for the 32GB. The details of the Verizon specific device capabilities are yet unreleased, but speculations assume that this device will not have the death grip issue or oil build up issue of the AT and T model. The rest is left in secrecy until the big release date.

Apple iPhone 4G Review - Is it Worth the Purchase?

What better way to start an iPhone 4G review than by remembering, with critical analysis, the tagline that introduced the newest iteration of Apple's blockbuster product.

"This changes everything. Again."

Indeed, the original iPhone changed the landscape of the telecommunication industry, toppling cellphone leaders Nokia and Samsung in a short period of time. Apple has become, or has once again become, the top name in consumer electronics, thanks in large part to Steve Jobs' brainchild.

But everything evolves, and Apple's flagship product has to evolve as well.

Enter the Apple iPhone 4G.

Recently released in the market, many people are wondering - does the newest model of Apple's mobile phone really change everything, again?

In this Apple iPhone 4G review, we will take a look at the new features of the product, and determine whether or not they are truly groundbreaking, or they're additions that current iPhone owners can live without.

Ready?

The most apparent change in the iPhone 4G is its sexier, lighter body. It's said to be 25% thinner and lighter than previous models. Of course, the weight difference would be barely noticeable, and the change is merely aesthetic. This alone should not sway people into buying the iPhone 4G if they already own an earlier unit.

But wait! There's more!

The iPhone 4G boasts of a higher resolution with its display capabilities. Maximum display output is pegged at 960 x 540, half of the display that can be projected by a Full HD LCD/LED TV. This is a wonderful improvement. Many people watch videos with their portable devices, and the new resolution has just made Apple's flagship product into a powerful, mini multimedia monster! Of course, the line's audio playback is already legendary. The higher resolution only adds to the value of the product.

Previous iPhone models were capable W-iFi net phones. But the 4G now possesses 802.11, which makes it an even better portable internet device.

The line is also known for its fantastic camera, despite its low resolution. But the 4G bumps this up to 5 megapixels, and adds a front camera for one of the unit's most prominent additions...

Yes, the iPhone 4G is now capable of video calling! The usefulness of this added feature, however, depends on the user's preference. Though majority may like the new video calling capability of the device, some people may find it as a mere novelty.

In the opinion of this iphone 4G review , what makes the model truly stand out is the longer battery life that the company has promised. Our enjoyment of this mobile phone, after all, depends on how long we can use it. The iPhone 4G boasts of 7 hours of talk time, 10 hours of video, 10 hours of internet browsing using Wi-Fi networks, 6 hours of online usage over 3G networks, and of course, the bread and butter of every iPhone unit - over 40 hours of audio playback!

So, is the iPhone 4G worth the purchase?

For users who don't own any previous iteration of the line, then the 4G model is the perfect entry point.

But for those who already own an iPhone, whether it's 2G, 3G or 3GS, then waiting for a truly radical change in design philosophy with regards to the line itself would be the more prudent way to go.
