Apple iPhone 4 will make its entry in the Indian markets in September. Those who are eagerly waiting for the iPhone 4 will have to wait until the official launch, though there are options available to buy it before the launch thru Ebay.

The cost for 16GB iPhone 4 is at a whooping 72k INR. But it is suggested that you drop the idea and go for the official launch. Airtel and Vodafone will be the iPhone 4 carriers in India.

Since its launch many problems in the iPhone 4 have been reported. Just in case Apple goes for iPhone recall it will be easier to go through the process if bought from an official dealer.

When compared with 3GS the iPhone 4 is bit narrow but the weight remains the same. The screen is of 3.2 inch size with double the resolution at 960 x 640 pixels. Apple boasts that the picture clarity, visibility and sharpness are the best of its kind thanks to the new technology called Retina Display.

There are some camera improvements seen in the iPhone 4 with a 5MP resolution and LED flash. Video can be shot in high definition mode of 720p @ 30 fps.
