The iPhone 4 is awesome, we love it and we want it. It’s really a big upgrade from the 3GS and plenty of new features are added to let you have some good reasons to buy it. Here we have some translated Chinese netizen comments and reactions to the iPhone 4 and Apple’s new strategy on mobile devices.
FaceTime, the video call on iPhone 4
You can make video calls with iPhone 4 and it works with WiFi only. No setup is required and it’s for iPhone 4 to iPhone 4. You can use it in portrait or landscape mode, and switch between front and rear camera anytime. It’s the best reason why you’re buying iPhone 4.
Comments from CBN (China Business News):
一生一梦:
The 3G carriers have promoted the video calling feature for a few years and it’s not well-accepted in the market, and now Apple repackaged it and this catches our attention?
逆风蝴蝶:
No need further explanation, I have been doing video calls on my LG for 6 years.
Flybear201:
Just with WiFi, great, no need a 3G mobile network. For next year’s conference, everyone will just bring along iPhone 4 to do live video through facetime.
无翼而飞:
Apple is really capable by adding new features which are introduced before, and promote the features as great stuff. This let people to forget the video call originally has 10 years of history, almost.
小鸡吱吱:
The video call on iPhone 4 is WiFi only. That means the WCDMA network is not needed, just WiFi. It’s good since who needs to make video call anytime, anywhere? We only have the intention of making video call at home, office, airport and during free time.
The All New Design
The iPhone 4 is solid, with glass on the front and back, and steel around the sides, it looks like a beautiful old Leica camera, according to Steve Jobs. It’s 9.3 mm thin and this is 24% thinner than iPhone 3GS, probably the thinnest smartphone on the planet.
东山农民:
So thin? How’s the battery performance?
亞鴻:
It doesn’t look thin to me. Is it because of its design?
The Retina Display
It’s a screen with 326dpi resolution. With its 800:1 contrast ratio, it’s 4x better than the 3GS’ contrast ratio. What’s more, it’s in 960 X 640 resolution and that’s 78 per cent of the pixels of the iPad. So, the Retina display on iPhone 4 is the sharpest, most vibrant, highest-resolution phone screen ever.
rainriver:
The screen of iPhone 4 has reached up to a shocking resolution of 326dpi ! It has reached the requirement of print media!
猫家猪头:
The resolution has increased, but the color contrast looks no difference to me, looks like OLED is not equipped yet.
Shane_C:
This resolution is unbeatable.
PKUanhao:
With such a high resolution, will the letters look small?
The A4 Chip on iPhone 4
The iPhone 4 is powered by the A4 chip which was firstly introduced on the iPad. The A4 chip gives you more power to handle more apps, especially multi-tasking.
爱呢long熙:
The processor looks good, not sure if it could handle multitasking or not.
亦如止水:
Same processor with the iPad, isn’t that cool?!
The Gyroscope
It’s a big upgrade for the accelerometer on iPhones. Joining up with the accelerometer, it providers a 6-axis motion sensing for a more exciting experience on gaming.
ultraboy:
Please be careful of acting cool, just in case you throw it accidentally.
菌硕:
There are so much new features, looks like it’s time to keep an eye out on iPhone.
DR小丁:
This is a piece of good news for developers.
The 5 megapixel camera and HD video recording
The whole new camera system on iPhone 4 allows you to capture 5 megapixel photos and record 720p HD videos at 30fps. The tap to focus feature on taking photos is also built-in on the video recording mode, so you can just simply touch and record.
凡尘往事:
5 megapixel for this time, the iPhone manage to catch up with the trend finally.
东山农民:
More people will throw away their cameras
猫家猪头:
The picture-taking function on iPhone is still strong, looks like nobody will catch up with it in a short time, the Android has released lots of phones but none of them could capture a picture which could let me have another glance of it.
zenno:
It can record 720p videos at 30fps, this has surpassed the smartphones.
iBooks for iPhone 4
It first appeared on the iPad, and now on the iPhone. It acts as a PDF reader and Apple gives you an iBookstore to purchase and download a book wirelessly. The books are all sync together with your iPad and iPhone, no extra charges needed.
老马记事:
Apple is changing my hobby, I love this feeling!
赵雨润:
The big step for e-books. Create your own PDF magazines, publish by yourself.
Apple’s New Strategy on Mobile Devices
胡锴鸥:
Everyone always grumble about Apple’s limits, but I can see Apple’s superiority. The iPhone 4 has jumped out, it’s quite a new thing, but it will still be an outdated product after 2 years. However, even though the hardware is outdated, they still have a wide variety of applications. The apps in the App Store will still attract consumers and with this effective strategy, it will combine hardware and software together to form a classic technique to lock up consumers in two roads, all by user experience.
蔡文胜:
Apple’s new iPhone didn’t impress me to buy it right away since there’s no much improvements on the open-source development. The release of iPhone4 will prevent Apple fanboys to switch to Android, but there are no ways to prevent Android’s well open-source development.
小鑫和老狼:
Apple’s FaceTime is just like any IM programs including QQ and MSN. The functions are comparable to those IM applications, and the reason why Apple introduced FaceTime is to prevent other companies or developers to produce apps like them. So, I can say that this is a battle between FaceTime and other IM softwares.
蔡文胜:
Steve Jobs named the new product as iPhone 4 instead of iPhone HD. Looks like there will be iPhone 4G, iPhone 4GS. Apple has learned the techniques from the 90’s Japan Electronic companies of making electronic products. New models can be done by adding small features, so this can attract consumers to spend more money. Plenty of money could be earned with this strategy, but users will dislike it someday.
我知道你在:
It’s just like mobiles’ first appearance in China, they made use of the outdated stuff and slowly introduce their so-called “Newest Design”. So, just don’t get over excited with the famous brands and thus, you will not follow them blindly.
