Laptop Trouble Tips
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.
For those wondering about the reasons behind the lack of 4G connectivity in the iPhone 4, Apple COO Tim Cook had already made the compulsions behind the move quite clear during a Q&A session earlier this year. "Verizon customers told us they want the iPhone now," said Cook, justifying why the iPhone 4 settled for 3G instead of LTE.
Apparently, accommodating the chips designed for 4G networks would have needed modifications to the phone's chassis, which would "force design changes we wouldn't make", explained Cook. Whether it is down to design philosophy or Apple's simply saving features for the next update is a thought we will let you readers ruminate on in the comments section.
