When the iPhone came out it was new and kinda cool, but when compared to other phones it still lacked many features. And Apple sold tens of millions of them and took over 40% of the smartphone market with their "inferior" phones.
Now if you compare the iPhone 4 to other smartphones there's no clear-cut winner. Someone mentioned they liked the Evo 4G better. Very nice phone to be sure, but the iPhone is smaller, lighter, has a longer battery life, can connect to Wireless N and has two mics, with one working as a noise cancelling mic.
To me, these are significant advantages for the iPhone, which is a phone after all. When you wanna talk to someone, I would think dual mics is a pretty important feature. Certainly more so than video calling.
Bottom line is the iPhone 4 can hold its own with other smartphones where previous iPhones couldn't.
So, if Apple can sell millions of iPhones that are inferior to other phones (2g, 3g, 3gs), then how many iPhone 4's will they sell, now that it's actually comparable to other smartphones?
