Processing Power and Storage Space on the iPhone 4
There are a lot of factors that pull consumers towards the iPhone 4 in terms of getting a smart phone, but Apple rarely wins over the critics based purely on the device’s looks or the ability that the company has to market their products. Instead, the harshest critics want to get a good look at the guts and muscle of the phone to decide whether or not it is a true competitor for the title of this generation’s top smart phone or whether it is just another marketing ploy by a company that could be losing its touch.
It turns out that things are looking great for those who take the time to look under the hood and see what the iPhone 4 is all about. The fact that it is harnessing the power of the same chip that runs in the ever popular Apple iPad, Apple’s A4 chip has certainly won some critics over. This is a chip that is called a system on a chip style chip and it is made of a PowerVR SGX 535 GPU that has been integrated with the standard Cortex A8 CPU so many reviewers fell in love with last year. While the iPad is known to have a top speed for this processor that clocks in at around 1 GHz, Apple is notorious for underclocking their iPhones in order to reduce the amount of heat the device creates and also to appeal to consumers with a longer lasting battery. However, one small detail that may stun many iPhone fans is the fact that this chip the iPhone 4 uses? It’s made by Samsung, the same company that competes with Apple in the smart phone market.
When it comes to storage space there is 512 MB of on board eDRAM in this version of the iPhone and a new format Micro-SIM allows up to 32 GB more of space.
