I've been testing ... I knew I phone up ... like its predecessor the iPhone three GS ... sells for ... a hundred ninety nine dollars with sixteen gigabytes of memory and to ninety nine with thirty two gigabytes ... but it's really of need your overhaul redesign of ... the Ifo ... Gai ... the door for when the last time they changed it ... up for one thing ... of ... it has its highly Usui ... it's the same size three and a half inches ... it is what Apple claims the ... highest resolution screen on a smartphone ... four times the pixels ... as its predecessor and ... when you ... zoom into text ... even a Maid texture ATMI ... it looks sort weighed in on paper it can not see ... Jackie Moore store or anything like that ... other really cool features ... and ... it has a ... much better camera on that ... but now it also has ... a camera on the front ... NextEra is for the deal calling ... to the Apple calls peacetime ... the first smartphone have a front facing camera for video calling but it's the first light this day ... we're ... the software for making these calls and hardware really integrates well when you set out ... to know anything ... it is set to press a button ... any other person on the other end has accepted that it won a video call ... UT then ... why are on a video call press another button flip around to the rear camera it seems that if they should or should that person ... other folks were behind on our sum of things ... are around you ... it's ... the only limitation of the video calling and is is that it wanted to start is that each person can have to have one of these new generation icons and calls can ... be made over white wine ... however Apple says it is ... taking this a ... video calling technology making it opened ... and read other companies so that time ... period ... it hopes to have millions of devices that can be ... Apple ... these costs ... there are whole long list of things that are new ones ... I phone for ... too many go into this too in this video on ... for those who are interested ... I urge you to read my ... review on the web or in print Wall Street Journal ... this should not be with them and I want to talk about an important downside that I discovered it estimates ... one thing ... this is ... very thin ... it's up ... about ... twenty four percent thinner than its predecessor and Apple claims it's the biggest ... smartphone market ... Um ... he now ... has ... a bunch of software features that people been asking for it has ... multi testy it has ... folders organizing wraps ... e-mail program on here now has a unified inbox if you would like to use debt so ... you can opt to see email from all your accounts in one of us don't have to teach him ... similarly is an option you now for ... our regime e-mails ... written work conversation ... there's just ... awful pledged additional things ... in this fall ... I mentioned that there was a big downside at its meeting doubts that remains that this phone ... as with its predecessors only works on the team T United States Abbett's network is just overwhelmed too often ... to me dropped calls ... too many ... cos you can ... connect ... and that ... this July phone model was designed to try to get around some of that Apple ... would be a antenna built right into the tram stainless steel trim on the edge of the phone ... they ... say they have had algorithms in there that look for the least congested ... and on the TNT network ... and all that is good and my testing ... I found that they were up a number of cases where ... on ... this fall show fewer bars in the same location as ... the older ... Christian Streiff on it ... Apple says the Subodh in the way the bars are presented and fix that ... which again is fine but ... it's a good also ... another issue ... which is that um ... there were ... half a dozen times or so where ... this new Ifo showing no servers are searching for network ... with the older one were shown a couple of bars and ... that's not good and neither Apple nor ATT explained ... the fear of ... the snow servers are searching situations recovered pretty quickly I was ... able to call after two seconds but Umm ... we still don't want to see that she leeway ... given on the phone's network that showing ... up a couple parts ... on the plus side ... of the network thing ... this home was ... better ... at holding calls while I was driving my car ... and the ... voice quality and the car was bitter over the Bluetooth car ... so on ... it's kind of unexpected ATT ... there's a lot to tell that this phone and again ... I recommend reading my column but I will say on balance I think this is a ... we need to be in the I phone with lots of improvements ... it ... continues in my view be the best of this class of ... device ... of ...
