A Look At The Great Design On The iPhone 4S

There are many things to love about the iPhone 4S but it is generally agreed that one of the most striking aspects of this great phone is the superb design. This is one of the reasons why the model has gone on to become one of the best selling handsets in the world. We take a closer look at the styling on this model.

The iPhone 4S is not actually the first iPhone to use the design that it boasts. The iPhone 4 was launched a year prior to the 4S and this was the handset that debuted this striking design. When the 4S was launched Apple felt that the design was good enough to be used again on their new handset. Whereas many devices boast a plastic or metallic build the iPhone 4S travels a different route entirely by offering an unusual glass design. This design comprises of two toughened sheets of glass that make up the front and rear panels on the phone. All that separates these pieces of glass from one another is a very slim metallic strip which encompasses all four sides of the phone. There are two different colour options available with the iPhone 4S, black and white, and both colours are equally as attractive. The black version looks very premium while the white variety will definitely appeal to a younger crowd who like to look a little different.

The new iPhone 4S offers users a very high quality screen boasting one of the highest pixel densities around. This screen only measures 3.5 inches however which is one of the smaller sizes on the market. This lack of size does have a real advantage when it comes to the design of the phone as it enables the chassis of the device to be very compact indeed. Boasting dimensions of 115.2 x 58.6 x 9.3mm the model is small enough to easily fit a trouser pocket or a small handbag. Perhaps the most impressive aspect of these dimensions is the very slim depth of just 9.3mm which further enhances the appeal of the model. The phone is actually one of the heavier handsets around at 140 grammes but rather than hinder the device it helps it to feel like a very well built and premium device. Taking a look around the chassis the design is actually remarkably simple and uncomplicated. A small camera lens and flash is all that joins the shiny Apple logo and name on the back panel while the front of the phone also feature a camera lens together with the physical home key that sits directly beneath the screen.

If you are looking for a smartphone that offers a great design then the iPhone 4S may well be the handset for you. The unique glass body oozes style while the phone is also one of the most compact handsets currently available.
