Wanted to try out the Apple iPhone and not have to over spend on the newer or updated iPhones as we ALLLL too well know their costs are the highest in the cell phone industry for what they offer! It seems to function well on or with most apps. A couple of issues that are well known: one is the factor not being an android OS format there is NO "Voice to Text" typing features on the Apple iPhone 4 until you get up to a Apple iPhone 5 or 6 and I reallllly miss that highly important feature!; another issue/problem is the "NO menu" button as it for the most part has the simple "one button" feature to go back vs the three button/function access on the Android systems, right. Seems relyable, compact and built well simplified features but really NEEEEDS an app and/or update to voice-to-text in areas or features when messaging, facebook, email and the like ESPECIALLY WHEN THE KEYBOARD KEYS ARE SOOOO SMALL; and it takes forever to type out any messages, HELLLLLO!Read full review

Although there is nothing physically wrong other than the cracked screen (which was in the description), Apple doesn't provide much support. The apps in the App Store require a later version (9 or above) of iOS than this iPhone 4 can run (highest is 7.1.2) and Apple Support doesn't really know much about the iPhone 4; so they don't provide much useful advice. In fact, I made more progress once I decided to ignore their statements and simply do things my way.

I bought this phone for my daughter, but she decided she'd rather have the 4s with Siri and extend our contract. She has it and is VERY happy. I transferred my number to it for a day and a half, and though it was pretty seamless getting there, setting it up and updating all the apps, getting back to my Droid was really a pain. Why can't Apple keep the basic stuff, like voice mail, compatible? Bottom line is that Apple has designed a very functional phone that is really just the right size and fits comfortably in my hand or pocket. But it's a little too delicate and "foo-foo" for my tastes, and waayyy too user cuddly. IMHO, it's overpriced for the capabilities as well. Did you know that the insurance and deductible on these phones is higher than the droids? Go figure. For the right person, it's the right phone, which is why I indicated I would recommend it. Just not for me. Thanks to the Verizon support team, I'm back to my Droid today, and there I will stay.Read full review
Having used an android phone for a couple of years, I was curious to switch gears and see what the iOS had to offer. I have to say that I really like this phone. Granted it is probably completely outdated, being a whopping 2 years old, but for me it is nicely equipped. I am still learning the thing, and so cannot definitively comment on the functionality, but the only thing I miss that the android had was the ability to speak a destination to the navigator rather than having to type it in. Much easier to set your own songs as ringtones on the android, too. To be fair, this is my first all touch screen phone, but this phone has a cool factor to it that my android phone just couldn't touch. I do like this smaller screen that the huge 5 phone as I don't play games or watch TV on the thing. Perhaps an all touch screen android or Windows OS would be a better phone, but for now, I like the iphone 4.Read full review
I have always been a dedicated Apple consumer ever since I got my first iPod in 2003. When they first came out with the iPhone in 2007 I told myself I would not give in to the frenzy. I instead got a Blackberry which I loved but after a few weeks I got sick of it. I then switched over and got the iPhone 4 last year and I vow never to get a different brand of phone again. The iPhone is sleek and so much fun to use. You can never be bored with the millions of different apps the App Store offers. The iPhone is also really easy to use and it really can do anything you need it to. At first I thought it would be too difficult to type on because it is a touch screen and the keyboard seems small but the screen is sensitive and I haven't had any trouble typing fast on it. There also is the autocorrection which is good and bad, if you mistype something you can continue typing and it will automatically correct itself, but sometimes I type things that get corrected when they don't need to be. My iPhone has never froze, slowed down, or caused me any problems like my Blackberry did.Read full review
