With the backdrop now formally hoisted on Apple's iPhone 4, hoards of Apple devotees have currently made designs to ditch their well-worn 3G S forms and proceed up on the next iteration. But if you're not wearing a heart-shaped locket with Steve Jobs interior, does the proceed to the iPhone 4 make sense? Where preceding iPhone issues have towered over the affray in every way, this year's issue faces stiffer out-of-doors affray than ever before. Does Apple still have what it takes to reign supreme in the smartphone market? We stacked the iPhone 4 specs edge by edge with those of its most threatening competitor, HTC's Android-powered EVO 4G, to find out.

 Display

Winner: Apple iPhone 4

With this year's Android offerings going to ever higher resolutions and computer display dimensions, it was clear that the iPhone would require a foremost overhaul to compete. And Apple supplied it. The 3.5-inch, 960-by-640-pixel LCD computer display on the iPhone 4 quadruples the allowance of pixels from the last-gen computer display to 614,400. By compare, the 4.3-inch computer display on the HTC EVO 4G is bodily bigger, but at 480-by-800 pixels, the total pixel enumerate of 384,000 still pales in comparison. More pixels in a lesser computer display will furthermore give the iPhone 4 astounding clarity and sharpness due to the pixel density. The bifocal gathering might favour the EVO 4G for its bigger dimensions, but most users will likely favour the sheer minutia and clarity of the iPhone 4.

 

Portability

Winner: Apple iPhone 4

Processor

Winner: Draw

Both the iPhone 4 and EVO 4G games top-of-the-line processors. The iPhone 4 values the identical adept A4 processor as the iPad, and the EVO 4 values the hotrod Qualcomm Snapdragon running at an outstanding 1GHz. You'll have to delay for the iPhone 4 issue to glimpse head-to-head benchmarks, but AnandTech pitted the iPad contrary to the EVO 4G and discovered a 37.6 per hundred real-life presentation gain in sheet burden times. Of course, distinct functioning schemes and a variety of other variables make this far from technical, and Apple could underclock the form in the iPhone 4 for electric battery life, farther throwing a wrench into the works. Bottom line: Until the iPhone 4 makes it to the untamed, it's too early to notify how it will present adjacent the EVO 4G.

 

 

Segmentation criteria

Winner: Apple iPhone 4

Battery life has not ever been a powerful issue for Apple's notoriously parched smartphone, but the business assertions to have advanced it this time round, and the identical 4G modem that devotes the EVO 4G its leg up in connectivity is its Achilles heel ...
