Proud to use my iPhone 3Gs for almost 1 year, I was really excited to discover the new Iphone 4. OK, I admit that I’m definitly addicted to Apple products… But this is not a reason to buy eyes closed all the new stuff stamped with an apple.
Then, the question is : Does the new iphone 4 worth the 300 euros I will have to pay to get it ?

What’s new in the iPhone compared to it’s brother ?
The most notable is it’s new retina screen that really gets an amazing definition. Apple announces that the Retina display is the highest resolution screen ever on a phone. Just perfect.
The front built-in camera that allows to make video calls. Now you can talk with your friends while seeing them… Provided that they also got an iphone 4. Damned, I have to friend with iPhone 4 users !

Multi-tasking. Now with the iPhone 4 you can use several apps at the same time.
HD video recording. Now with the new built-in camera at the back of the new iPhone 4 you can record high definition movies. Note that you can take a video self-portrait with the front camera that let you see yourself while you record. Very usefull feature, especially for bloggers.
This list isn’t exhaustive, but these are the major innovations of the iPhone 4.

What about the antenna reception issue ?
After watching the press conference by Steve Jobs about the Antennagate, I realized that this problem of reception affected a small percentage of users. By the way, all smartphones have reception problems when you hold them the wrong way… Then the good news about this story is that Apple will offer a free bumper to each iPhone 4 user. Thanks a lot Mr Jobs.
Conclusion : Will I buy this new iPhone 4 ?
Well, with all new features of the iPhone 4 I will surely buy it as soon as my current subscription will be completed. Now I just have to save 300 euros…
Hey, such a tricky question I’m asking me right now…..
If I can, in your post:
“[...], the question is : Does the new iphone 4 worth the 300 euros I’ll HAVE to pay to get it ? Or I’ll to get it [...]”
Anyway as you said, tough question but for me it’s gonna be a white one so regarding Apple communication, I have some Time to think… They seems to be in trouble to produce (and maybe redisgning the antenna stuff).
A question for a 3GS user:
As you are now blogging in english, I’m replying too but how can you do that without being bothered by the corrector always changing your the into thé and more?
Thx and sorry for thé ( ;-) doublons. Safari iPhone pbm
Hi Etienne,
Thank you for correcting my spelling… I used to miss some words time to time (Even when I blog in French also)
So, you question is interesting : I changed the settings of my iPhone 3Gs to get the language in English. To do that, click on settings > general > International : Here you can set the language to English.
Then, when you write an SMS or any other kind of message (Tweet…) you can switch between languages by clicking on the globe icon on the left of the spacebar. Handy and very usefull if you need, like me, to switch frequently between two (or more) languages.
Very usefull but its changing also the letters places… Anyway now the iphone “can” understand english when I’m typing and also nice to keep in mind the QWERTY keyboard. So geek….. ;-)
Well, I answered the question of this post this evening… I just purchased an iPhone 4 32 Gb on the Orange webstore… Next week I will post a review on Watsupmanu.com
Eheh ;-) I’m still waiting for the white one… Enjoy your new iphone!
BTW nice review of the dyson air multiplier, lucky you!
A special renewal subscription offer from my provider (Orange) finally convinced me to buy the iPhone 4.
