iphone4 for the resurrection, please. Call it a year-plus and a net-plus, but there will be at least some sense of relief once the iPhone 4 era is over. The productive yet turbulent stretch in which the boxy iPhone has served as Apple’s flagship smartphone model can’t end soon enough for those who have vowed to wait for the iPhone 5, regardless of Apple’s attempts to sway them with the Verizon iPhone 4, the white iPhone 4, and even the nearly-free leftover iPhone 3GS in the mean time. But even setting the squatters aside, the end of the iPhone 4 era and its rebirth as the iPhone 5 should be a good thing for the iOS platform overall. Here’s why:Square – remember when a website posted pictures of what it claimed to be an iPhone 4 prototype, and most dismissed it as being fake because it was “too ugly” to be an Apple product? Maybe it never had a chance because the world first saw it under those terms. Or maybe it really was just plain ugly. But either way, the iPhone 5 will give Apple the chance to return some curves to the iPhone and make it less square, literally and figuratively.

Controversy – by now, most iPhone 4 users have figured out that A) the supposed antenna issue never existed, and B) the supposed scratching issue never exist. But there are plenty of folks who would have bought an iPhone 4 yet for being duped by these trumped-up controversies, and now irrevocably believe the iPhone 4 to have been a flawed piece of hardware – nevermind that millions of iPhone 4 users can attest otherwise. These folks won’t buy a new iPhone until the iPhone 4 is dead and gone. So really, anything called “iPhone 5″ will do.Verizon – Nice try on the part of Apple and Verizon to slip a compatible iPhone 4 out there midstream, but plenty of Verizon customers decided to wait for the next new iPhone rather than swallow last year’s model eight months late.Sprint and T-Mobile – plenty of customers on both carriers are holding out hope that the iPhone 5 will arrive on their carrier. If it happens, they’ll bite. If it doesn’t happen, some of them will take it as a sign to stop waiting and move to Verizon or AT&T to get the iPhone 5.iOS 5 – remember those “iPhone 4″ software features which showed up late and/or muffled because iOS 4 was so slow in developing? The iPhone 5 gives Apple a chance for a fresh slate by rolling out iOS 5 simultaneously, and this time getting the software side right from day one.This iPhone 4 cover is the best use for titanium yet
Outside of cars, planes, and buildings, we don’t get to interact with titanium all that often - though this isn’t because the element is especially rare. The ninth most abundant element on earth, its rarity has more to do with the processes of extracting and casting it, which are expensive.Which is why this titanium iPhone cover from Snow Peak is so compelling. Cast from a single piece of the metal, this Japan-made titanium cover is made especially with the iPhone 4 in mind. There are, of course, some caveats. Titanium or not, this flashy little cover isn’t actually meant to protect the iPhone, nor will it fit any device besides the iPhone 4. Moreover, titanium isn’t immune to the whole metal-induced interference thing, so it’s likely that phone call quality will take a hit with it equipped.As if those things weren’t bad enough, the cover could actually scratch the surface of the iPhone. Is that a chance iPhone 4 owners are willing to take?It’s also pretty pricey. Available in July, Snow Peak’s titanium iPhone 4 cover will cost $119.Does anyone use these apparently fragile things without the ugly covers? Never even considered getting anything for my HTC WP7 phone, as it doesn't need it. @tonymcs@... hiding a thing of beauty behind a cover is a reason that I cannot fathom. My ORIGINAL 2G iPhone is still okay after years of use and misuse. I hate covers. After all, the most important bit of the phone , the glass, still needs to be open.Why is that? My iPhone's glass is encased in my OtterBox. It works just fine. Snow Peak has crafted beautiful cover for the iPhone 4 made of pressed titanium. The cover slides on the back and is designed to protect the glassy exterior from scratches, dents and dings.

The cover has a minimalist design and, because its made of titanium, it only adds a mere 17g to the weight of your iPhone. Before you shell out the $US120, be aware the cover has one major flaw. Titanium is known to degrade cellular signals. Wi-Fi should work, but forget about making or receiving a phone call. It’s your choice, do you prefer form or functionality?Apple iPhone 4 isn't called the iPhone 4G for two good reasons. Primarily, since it still rides on 3G connectivity, and also because that gives Apple an excuse for the iPhone 4G. Jokes aside, Korea Telecom (KT) has capitalised on this connectivity void by launching the WiMAX Egg sleeve. The accessory hooks into the iPhone 4's proprietary 30-pin port and delivers up to five hours of 4G Internet connectivity with its inbuilt battery.The extra bulk and thickness of the Egg sleeve at 68g and 8mm respectively may not sound much, but it might cramp the style of the average iPhone user already used to Apple's increasingly anorexic design philosophy. The device costs 129,800 Korean Won (Rs. 5,400 approx.), but it's designed to work with local Korean networks and is therefore not available internationally.
