The Apple iPhone 4...now on AT&T and Verizon Wireless

The Apple iPhone 4 has been making headlines since the day it was released as the must-have of the decade. On June 29, 2007 the first iPhone was released and it was not a huge sensation. In 2008, the iPhone 3G was released and broke a record for sales of a cell phone ever. AT&T sold over 1 million phones in under 3 days. For a phone that had just been released a year earlier, those numbers are pretty amazing. In June of 2010, the latest iPhone was released and sold almost 2 million iPhones in the first 4 days-breaking another record.
It was only last month that one of the largest networks released the iPhone 4. Verizon has the network, has the marketing, the advertising and was only lacking one thing: the iPhone. After years of Apple only exclusively giving AT&T the rights to sell the iPhone, on February 3, 2011 the iPhone 4 went on pre-sale for Verizon. Statistics show that the Verizon smartphone did surpass AT&T in sales but not by much. 
Either way, the phone has features and apps that you can only dream of. It combines the features of having a Mac with FaceTime video chat (just like iChat) and an App Store with over 500 third-party apps and by Spring of 2009, one billion apps had been downloaded from the App Store. The latest number is 10,000,000 (yes, 10 billion) apps have been downloaded from the App Store worldwide (including downloads to computers, iPads, iPhones and iTouch.).
Continuing with the features of the iPhone 4, this smart phone (the name fits perfectly) allows you to watch videos, store your entire iTunes on this pocket sized device, read books, sync as many e-mail accounts as you like, view all of your digital photos in one easy place, surf the web, gives you the weather wherever you are, and will tell you how to get home if you're lost. This is just the beginning of what this phone can do. Weighing a mere 4.8 oz, you can't go wrong.
Although I am not an owner of an iPhone 4, as SOON as I am eligible for an upgrade I will be in the store!


The Apple iPhone 4 is definitely the biggest must have right now and it is just the beginning of a new revolution for smart phones.
