Apple's latest smartphone has launched here amid much anticipation from fans and concern about the device's apparent reception problems.
We took the iPhone 4 for a spin and here's what we think:
Look and feel
The iPhone 4 is a gorgeous phone. While its overall look does not seem to stray far from the original candybar design, Apple has certainly made improvements to an existing formula that works, creating an even more visually impressive device.
The design, at least on the outside, is also now essentially a steel band sandwiched by two panels of glass.
Gone is the curved metal back cover found in previous generation iPhones - Apple had instead replaced this with a glossy, glass flat back panel.
The edges of the iPhone 4 are also very angular, a stark difference from the curved design in the previous generation of devices.
The final look is a much sleeker and slimmer iPhone.
I'll be honest - I am not quite a fan of the earlier curved and rounded look that the previous iPhones sported because it looks a little too untailored. The sharp, angular look of the iPhone 4 presents a professional, classy look that its predecessors lack.
The iPhone 4 is also a pretty hardy smartphone. Both glass panels are scratch-resistant, while the stainless steel band sandwiched between them is five times stronger than the industrial standard.
