YORK, England: In their annual Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Apple announced its inevitable next model in the iPhone range, the iPhone 4 ( http://www.mobiles.co.uk/new-apple-iphone.html), building upon the successes of the 3GS last summer and the new iPad tablet device that arrived in May.

With HD video capture, an enhanced 5 megapixel camera and a host of other new features including the highest resolution display screen ever seen on a mobile phone, iPhone 4 (http://www.mobiles.co.uk/new-apple-iphone.html) has proven to be the biggest product launch in Apple's history, and coupled with the latest iOS 4, boasts over a hundred new features.

iOS 4 offers better multi-tasking of 3rd party applications, an improved digital zoom when taking photos plus a tap to focus video feature, to name just a few of an alleged 100 strong.

Apple's new software also fully updates the 3GS, renewing the capabilities of the award winning smartphone of yesteryear. With tariffs dropping on Apple's 2nd generation iPhone, the 3GS is set to become a budget alternative to the scarcely available iPhone 4 ( http://www.mobiles.co.uk/new-apple-iphone.html) whilst still offering one the most powerful operating systems to rival that of Google's Android and Nokia's Symbian OS.

Despite its immediate popularity, iPhone 4 has not launched without its problems however, with stock too few and far between to meet the demand of an ever increasing market, and an apparent fault with the positioning of the phone's antenna which causes a noticeable signal drop depending on the way users grip the handset.

This issue has sparked heated debate over the recent weeks since the phone's launch and forced Apple to comment on the situation, suggesting that covering the phone antenna on any phone would be the same. In iPhone 4's case this occurs when users cover the black strip in the lower left corner of the metal band which sees's the signal bars drop as a result.

Apple claim however that the issue is due to an incorrect formula in the way the signal bars are displayed on screen; sometimes mistakenly displaying more signal than the area actually permits.

Whether this fully explains what many believe to be a design flaw is open to debate, but an upcoming software update is set to rectify the problem, or simply purchasing an iPhone bumper (a protective case for the phone) can help eradicate the issue too.

None of this seems to have hindered the early success of iPhone 4 (http://www.mobiles.co.uk/new-apple-iphone.html) which is fast becoming the must have device of 2010. As retailers continue to sell out of iPhone 4 as soon it hits their stores, and low stock levels set to continue for the next couple of months at least, Apple will hope to benefit from keeping supply low and demand high.
