It's so weird how this is so old, almost like one of those old PCs from the 1990s... and then you realize this was top notch technology just 4 years ago : /
Jordyn Fewtrell watching this off my LG G Flex, and guess what buddy? My phones actually supposed to bend. That phones trash, welcome to the real world.
I got my new iPhone 4 a couple of days ago and I really liked the notification bar and iCloud because when ever I got a new song from iTunes it would directly go on to my phone:)
i hey, it's me. you know from the dojo and the old days. i really liked your review. your are really good at presenting things. really.i learned morefrom this then apple
I have been stuck with a flip phone motorolla razor for a quite some time now I am going to be upgrading to the iphone 4. I can't wait. I will be using it a lot. Will probably get it next week maybe.
I'm going to go crazy with impatience waiting until April for my upgrade. I swear the phone comes into my mind several times a day. Now multiply that by 3 months. This is gonna take a while.....
Where I work, my 3G quite often drops from 3G to 2G reception, whereas my 4 very rarely drops 3G, so my experience is that the 4 has better reception than the previous models.
Jon, in all honesty, the glass is scratch resistant right? Well I have about 4 scratches that only I notice are there...because they are sooo damn thin!! I'm not sure what the hell is causing these, it may be my jean pocket in all honesty but I have no clue. Think that should be happening? On the bright side, the scratches are only noticeable when you look for them, know where the are, and are holding the phone JUST right.
@nickdoesnothin they did with the 3G. At the launch of the iPhone 3G it had reception issues and dropped a lot more calls, but with a SOFTWARE update, the connection got a lot better. Never underestimate software
Although Android phones are very good, and the OS and hardware are all pretty much equivalent to those of an iPhone, but Apple has a little something that wins it in my opinion : taste. This is the most beautifully designed phone, both the hardware and the UI, I have ever seen. And all of it is not just about being eye-candy : the UI and design are incredibly smart (and don't get me started on the antenna, neither I nor any of my relatives ever had any problem with it). This device is fabulous.
Mine is pre-ordered and should be in my hands within two weeks. As this is my first phone (I'm 13, don't judge), I'm going crazy for the wait. Quick question: which model did you buy Jon? 16 gig or 32 gig? And how many gigs did you ACTUALLY get out of it?
I was in an O2 Store today and I tried forever to make the signal go down a bit, so I don't really know what people are on about, unless they have fixed it in display models and the ones people get are bugged so people will buy a Bumper.
To all the people wanting to get one but put off by his negatives toward the operating system, iOS5 adds what he says he wants, like lock screen notifications, iOS 5 is amazing.
Jon you should do an actual test of signal degradation and/or loss without referring the signal bars on the phone given Apples recent letter detailing the issue. I'm curious to see is it really a miscalculation of signal strength or actually reduced signal strengh.
@danyytr Gevey sim not gonna work mate, iOS 5 has upgraded baseband which blocks Gevey sim usage. If you're lucky to have baseband 4.10 then it should work or if you have iOS 4.3.5 then you can preserve you baseband so you can use the Gevey sim.
What do you mean not many features were added. It's one of the most major upgrades since 1.x.x (though it wasn't really updgrade since it was the first firmwares).
you dont really understand and notice the awsomeness of the iphone 4 until you look at it and hold it up close but it feel like it weighs a ton is what it feels like
The reason you're getting better battery life may be because the battery is brand new, i.e it has not gone through several cycles. The iPhone 4 has a better battery BUT more powerful hardware (CPU, display etc) so overall battery usage will probably be on par with a 3GS when used for a while.
I love mine. The complaint I have is that if you are playing a game or something in landscape your hands tend to cover the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
i'm trying to buy a phone atm, and have no idea what to get. i'm stuck between a blackberry or this. any suggestions as to which one to get, or any other phones?
apart from the death grip i seen a couple of people have trouble with the proximity sensor, it is suposed to be over sensetive and if you move it slightly away from you ear it triggers out of screen off and can allow an end call press with the ear anyone found this
Idk why I’m watching this in 2020, but I’m having a chuckle at the “day and a half” battery life 😂
watching this in 2021 because old youtube vids are my comfort zone
I AM GETTING MINE TOMORROW MORNING!!!!! march 20th(: SUPER EXCITEDDDDD
Lol are you getting the iPhone 12?😂
@@BigBankBuckets I am lol
@@Alex-yj9xl very much so yes
Did you get it? Its 2024 now and hii
You're exited for iPhone 4
I'm my opinion the best iPhone ever made, wish i never got rid of mine for the disaster that was the 4S...
Sam Gates bro they aren't even close to the same thing,they just kind of have the same design
Better than the 5S or 6?
I’m confused wasn’t it just faster
The most amazing iphone since 2010..
Watching this in 2019. Time flies..
It's so weird how this is so old, almost like one of those old PCs from the 1990s... and then you realize this was top notch technology just 4 years ago : /
PoliticalHell 9 years now mate
Try being in 2020 lmao
2021, damn
now 11 years ago
I ordered this phone today on ebay, I cant wait to get it in the mail I'm so frickin excited!! :D
2019?
Ye. Almost 2020
Sh-should we tell them?
This is amazing! I’m watching this on an iPhone 12 Pro and hearing him talk about the “high resolution display” on this phone was just hilarious
Better than the 3GS and older.
Watching this on a iPhone 4
Ha so am I ! :D
Watching on my iPhone 4s
watching this off an iPhone 6
Watching this on a Samsung galaxy note 4 ;)
Jordyn Fewtrell watching this off my LG G Flex, and guess what buddy? My phones actually supposed to bend. That phones trash, welcome to the real world.
Thank god you finally came out with this review, Jon. You're the main reason I bought a 3G in the first place all those years ago.
*God
This was solid, well-balanced review.
Good stuff.
@N17771 YAY! I hope i will get one!
Dude you give the best reviews ever...
Brings back good memories of me watching a ton of reviews before buying this back in 2010 my first phone
i have to wait for christmas for the 4s =/ im so happy its on sprint!
I miss this era of RUclips...
Sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the video Sir.
I’m watching this on the 2018 iPad Pro and it’s so crazy to think that this was the very peak of mobile technology less than a decade ago
I got my new iPhone 4 a couple of days ago and I really liked the notification bar and iCloud because when ever I got a new song from iTunes it would directly go on to my phone:)
This IS fun...I'm getting my first iPhone this week :)
John is one of the best reviewers of all time.
i hey, it's me. you know from the dojo and the old days. i really liked your review. your are really good at presenting things. really.i learned morefrom this then apple
Just got it for .99 cents the other day! Excited!
Buying it tomorrow, can't wait :D
It is now fun to watch vids about the iphone.... but it wasn't when i didn't have one, but wanted one! Got my iphone 4 today :D
nice review john.. can't wait to upgrade soon :)
btw White on Black screen color option, is the coolest for me
just ordered my iphone 4 a week ago, i cant wait to have this phone.
I have been stuck with a flip phone motorolla razor for a quite some time now I am going to be upgrading to the iphone 4. I can't wait. I will be using it a lot. Will probably get it next week maybe.
I used about 20 phones at the mall yesterday and I am completely sold on the Iphone. Will be getting it when verizon releases it
another great review, I've been looking for a decent review and this one stands out.
u will own one, just have hope... i just got mine today after 6months of saving..
gettin 1 in about a couple of weeks...stoked!!!
It is fun to watch this now. Especially if you are getting an iPhone 4S!
I'm going to go crazy with impatience waiting until April for my upgrade. I swear the phone comes into my mind several times a day. Now multiply that by 3 months. This is gonna take a while.....
thanks, this video really helped, im getting an iphone 4 in august and i wanted to learn more about them! (:
I just got mine last week! And it's awesome!
I now believe that "Once you go Mac, you can't go back!".
Glad to see battery life improved....they stated better battery life, but I wanted to see it from someone with the phone with real world usage....
this looks pretty good, but does it have the latest windows media player?
John, with this phone always in your pocket, do you still use the iPad? What for?
Great vid, as usual.
This phone still looks great. Probably my favourite design. When Apple have a notchless iPhone and this shape, then I'll change my opinion.
the iphone 12 is this shape :P
I always used to think that the actual front facing camera was the retina display. lmao.
getting mine this week!! cant wait
which phone do you use Jon? just out of curiousity ;) cheers mate
Where I work, my 3G quite often drops from 3G to 2G reception, whereas my 4 very rarely drops 3G, so my experience is that the 4 has better reception than the previous models.
would this be a better choice than the LG escape 2
i-want-one!! also,are Apple iPhone Bumpers the only cases that stop/avoid the death grip?
the sky is up mate, but nothing is up with me, lol
Jon, in all honesty, the glass is scratch resistant right? Well I have about 4 scratches that only I notice are there...because they are sooo damn thin!! I'm not sure what the hell is causing these, it may be my jean pocket in all honesty but I have no clue. Think that should be happening? On the bright side, the scratches are only noticeable when you look for them, know where the are, and are holding the phone JUST right.
Watching in 2020. iPhone 4 was mind blowing when I came out.
I love this guy saying 'what's up every one?'
@nickdoesnothin they did with the 3G. At the launch of the iPhone 3G it had reception issues and dropped a lot more calls, but with a SOFTWARE update, the connection got a lot better. Never underestimate software
Does it have good storage? Like can it hold a lot of pictures, movies, music, ect without the memorry getting full?
Although Android phones are very good, and the OS and hardware are all pretty much equivalent to those of an iPhone, but Apple has a little something that wins it in my opinion : taste. This is the most beautifully designed phone, both the hardware and the UI, I have ever seen.

i stayed up until 3 am to order the sucker and there still acepting preorders! i thought theyed sell out quick.
I just realised that I have been staring at an iPhone on a white table, for 11 minutes. IN FULL SCREEN.
I was in an O2 Store today and I tried forever to make the signal go down a bit, so I don't really know what people are on about, unless they have fixed it in display models and the ones people get are bugged so people will buy a Bumper.
I got this iPhone several months ago. I sold it to go to a RHCP concert. Now I'm sorry. I ALWAYS KNEW THIS DAY WOULD COME.
wait is it out for AT&T already and on the 10th of next month its coming to VERIZON?
John, how did you get that background? I really want it for my newly purchased iPhone 4 :)
Just got one today after being a long time droid user. It's decent so far..
Just bought this phone. Can't wait!! :D
To all the people wanting to get one but put off by his negatives toward the operating system, iOS5 adds what he says he wants, like lock screen notifications, iOS 5 is amazing.
@mexicanpanduh if your phone contract has ended/u are buying your first phone then the iphone 4 is free
dude where do you get all the phones from?
Jon you should do an actual test of signal degradation and/or loss without referring the signal bars on the phone given Apples recent letter detailing the issue. I'm curious to see is it really a miscalculation of signal strength or actually reduced signal strengh.
hey jon how has it done scratch wise, or have you been using a case with it?
where did you get the cool background Jon?
great video j4l!
@danyytr Gevey sim not gonna work mate, iOS 5 has upgraded baseband which blocks Gevey sim usage. If you're lucky to have baseband 4.10 then it should work or if you have iOS 4.3.5 then you can preserve you baseband so you can use the Gevey sim.
i know its inappropriat but new iPod touch is coming in september right?
RIP Steve Jobs, you've changed the world with your outstanding creativity and innovation.
What do you mean not many features were added. It's one of the most major upgrades since 1.x.x (though it wasn't really updgrade since it was the first firmwares).
I have this phone now. Im waiting to see what the new iphone before I actually get a contract for At&t
Can I install the iPhone without a simcard to use it as an ipod touch until I receive my microsim card, thanks.
the bumper fixes the entenna prob and it makes the phone look cooler too :)
you dont really understand and notice the awsomeness of the iphone 4 until you look at it and hold it up close but it feel like it weighs a ton is what it feels like
JON FORGOT THE INTRO TO ALL HIS VIDS WITH TECHNOBUFFALO!
why have you got it on aeroplane mode? :)
is the iphone 5 coming out
I been waiting for this video before I buy the iphone 4.
Watching this on an iPhone 6. Oh how things have changed.
+Zach Mason Pretty sure they haven't when it comes to iOS.
Then you haven't taken the time to see the changes.
That, or the changes are simply too small to notice.
+TheDeLeG3nD hahahahaahahaha damnnnn super mega ultra brainwashing
Zach Mason watching this on iPhone X. Oh how things have changed.
What phone has a larger screen(diagonal) than the iPhone other than the HTC Evo 4G and the Samsung Galaxy S?
The reason you're getting better battery life may be because the battery is brand new, i.e it has not gone through several cycles. The iPhone 4 has a better battery BUT more powerful hardware (CPU, display etc) so overall battery usage will probably be on par with a 3GS when used for a while.
I love mine. The complaint I have is that if you are playing a game or something in landscape your hands tend to cover the speakers on the bottom of the phone.
This video was very helpful! Thanks x
hey man your wallpaper is awesome. Pls give me link were did you download it!! Please reply
does the face video chat thing only work with other iphones??
By Christmas, I'll have this thing for myself working on T-Mobile
My father found a new 4s on the tracks and gave it to me so happy
So you can't do Facetime over a 3G connection?
i'm trying to buy a phone atm, and have no idea what to get. i'm stuck between a blackberry or this. any suggestions as to which one to get, or any other phones?
apart from the death grip i seen a couple of people have trouble with the proximity sensor, it is suposed to be over sensetive and if you move it slightly away from you ear it triggers out of screen off and can allow an end call press with the ear
anyone found this
what protective case do you recommend?
im getting one tomorrow. a lot of people complain about how simple the iphone is and thats why i want one so bad.
Also they fixed the signal drop problem a while ago!
