TELUS Apple iPhone 4 Marketing Material

iPhone 4 is the biggest leap forward since the original iPhone was introduced. It makes video calling a reality with a front-facing camera. Plus, it also includes a 5 megapixel camera that takes photos and records HD video. Its Retina display is the highest resolution ever on a phone and it makes text, images, and video look fantastic. And with iOS 4, you can easily switch between apps with multitasking, and organize hundreds of apps into folders.

Apple iPhone 4 new features:

FaceTime video calling

• Make a video call from one iPhone 4 to another anywhere there's a Wi-Fi network
• It's as easy as making a regular voice call, no setup required
• Switch to the rear camera with a tap to show live video to others

Retina display

• The highest resolution display ever built into a phone
• Four times as many pixels as iPhone 3GS
• iPhone 4 features 960 by 640 resolution
• Pixel density (326 pixels per inch), makes text, images, and video look sharper, smoother, and more realistic

All-new design

• The world's thinnest smartphone
• Glass and stainless-steel enclosure
• More durable and scratch-resistant due to chemically strengthened glass on the front and back that's 30 times harder than plastic
