Some apps have already been updated to make use of the high-

The editors didn't like
Not as customisable as the likes of Android smartphones
Multitasking sees some apps pausing rather than running in the background.
Multitasking entails some tradeoffs
Home screen folders are limited to 12 apps
Reception issue in left hand
High price
No home screen widgets
No social networking integration
You're still given virtually no control over your photos – no quality choice
No ISO selection
Which is a shame. Similarly
Video eschews any advanced controls.Apple is still not willing to give the user as much freedom as
Say
Android users.There have also been reported antenna issues
But Apple may soon be releasing a software update to address these.
ITunes integration is still sluggish
FaceTime is WiFi only
And HD video chomps through memory
Price
Odd situation with network reception
FaceTime only works with other iPhones
Non-removable battery
High SIM-free price
Hand placement can disrupt mobile signals
Glass front and back could prove overly fragil
Not able to play back HD video to external display.
Video calling that only works between iPhone 4 handsets over WiFi
Signal drops when you hold the phone in a certain way
Doesn't feel as thin as it is
Expensive
Tied to iTunes software
Poor earphones
Fairly pricey
The antenna issue remains for some
Camera could have been better since 8or even 12megapixels are the industry standard for higher end smartphones of its class.
Reception drops when you hold it in a certain way (reception display issue?)
FaceTime can only be used over WiFi and with other iPhone 4 users
Abstract: All eyes were on Apple last week as it announced the iPhone 4S, so here's our initial thoughts on how it compares with the iPhone 4. Although the latest iOS device has left some Apple fans and analysts disappointed, key upgrades have been made to the p...

The iPhone 4 may well correct many flaws of the 3GS, but is it really the hottest new touchscreen mobile out there, setting new standards for others to follow? Well, yes, so long as you don't mind being tied to the restrictive world of iTunes. The high...
So two months down the line I remain besotted and bemused by the iPhone 4. It is without doubt the best iPhone Apple has made, yet also perhaps the most careless. Its redesign is exciting and durable (I've experienced virtually no wear and tear), but t...
Abstract: First things first. Let's deal with the reception issues associated with the iPhone 4. Unfortunately, the fact Apple CEO Steve Jobs initially denied any problems with the antenna, then said other smartphone manufacturers had similar issues, did not hel...
Nor did the fact he told us we were holding it wrong. There were those who watched gleefully as Jobs ate humble pie at an Apple press conference where it was announced that 'bumpers', or covers, would be given free of charge to iPhone 4 owners in order...
Overall I absolutely love my iPhone 4. I always carry two phones as I have a work phone as well as my personal one so I currently have the best of both worlds. I use my BlackBerry 9700 for all email, instant messaging and Facebook/Twitter notifications...
