4G as in it's the 4th generation iPhone.

-iPhone = 1G
-iPhone 3G= 2G
-iPhone 3GS = 3G
-iPhone ??? = 4G

Seeing as how we don't have a name for it yet, most are just calling it the "iPhone 4G" because it is the 4th generation device. Just like how we call the latest iPod Touch the "iPod Touch 3G" even though it has nothing to do with 3G cellular connections. ]]>May 29th 2010 4:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/I'm sure they will once some of the problems with OLED are worked out such as screen burn-in, longevity, and color accuracy. AMOLED fixed most of the outdoor viewing issues which is kind of important for a phone (much more so than a laptop or tablet IMO) but Samsung can't produce them in high enough volume for Apple yet and some of the other issues remain. I'd guess by the 5th or 6th gen they will be using OLED. ]]>May 29th 2010 4:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/People associate 4g with the network and this would be seen as misleading consumers who dont know about tech like us]]>May 29th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/May 29th 2010 4:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/
Yeah I doubt they will call it the 4G. I have a strong feeling that if anything, they will call it the "iPhone HD". 1280x720 video recording was added as an option in the 4.0 beta. So between 720p video recording, and the extremely high resolution screen for this size, I think the iPhone HD title seems like a good fit. ]]>May 29th 2010 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/
Another Apple Hater bitching about "4G"...what else is new?

Anyways I can't wait for the iPhone 4G. I just wish it would have a bigger screen.

I'm starting to think though that I may just wait for 2011 before I upgrade. My 3GS is awesome as is. And while I love that high resolution I'm hesitant to get it if they will keep the screen the same size.

Cuz chances are they'll make it bigger in 2011..which is when I'd be due for an upgrade.]]>May 29th 2010 4:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/May 29th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/I kinda doubt this.

The only "4G" service out right now or relatively soon is Sprint's WiMax 4G, which gets 10mb down. And, I'd also like to add that 4G is a scam, but you'll find out why right now. Both, T-Mobile and at&t have launched hsdpa 7.2, which, as the name implies, has 7.2mb down speeds. Which means the difference between at&t 3G speeds and Sprint's 4G is 3mb. So, really, it's no big deal at all to call the iPhone, the iPhone 4G, because at&t's 3G network right about reaches the same speed as WiMax. AT&T's real 4G (LTE) will launch next year and it's been reported to double it's current 3G speed. That is something I'd be picky about fixing, not so much, 7.2mb down vs 10mb down. Shit, even T-Mobile said they can boost their 3G network to twice the speed of Sprint's 4G. ]]>May 29th 2010 6:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/May 29th 2010 6:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/It will vastly improve the display of text. Printers usually have a resolution of at least 600 DPI.

With today's low-resolution screens we have to choose between pretty but blurry text (Apple's choice) and sharp but misshapen text (Microsoft's choice). Higher resolution will make compromise unnecessary and give us sharp text without deforming it.]]>May 29th 2010 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/Watch Apple call it the "iPhone 4G" just to make those not-so-smart people believe it uses 4G.

You mean 3:2. It's not that odd. Apple's first widescreen notebooks (before the widescreen craze) were 3:2, and the iPhone has always been 3:2. It's easy to make on a 4:3 line (just cut it in half), and opinion may vary, but I think the touch of extra width makes the phone more balanced visually. ]]>May 29th 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/29/iphone-4g-put-under-a-microscope-960-x-640-looks-like-a-lock/It doesn't matter what you do with it.
