I just got one of these today, and you are right about the quality of the retina display! It is just absolutely gorgeous! This is by far the best screen I've ever seen on a mobile device, let alone a cell phone!
Lmao my jaw dropped for the whole time that you were doing the zoom in to show how much the pixels showed on the 3gs vs the Iphone 4. Sheesh. I'm gettin' mine NOW!
AWESOME comparison vid. Best on TH-cam, so good job! This screen is KILLER. If this was the only new thing on the iPhone 4 I'd still have gotten it. I am loving this thing!!
you actually did a good job trying to show how clear the retina display really is, because it's really hard to show on a video camera. people who havent seen it, need to see it in real life. when i first saw the phone in real life i couldnt believe how clear the resolution was. like NOTICEABLY clear, even if you weren't told beforehand
Your video shows just how much of a difference the iPhone 4's retina display is over the previous model. I don't think I've seen a TH-cam video that provides a better, detailed comparison. Bravo! btw...I own the iPhone 4 and I also owned the original iPhone. As beautiful as the retina display is, it's just not that big of a deal considering how small the overall screen is. The processor, the LED flash and the the HD video capability was the deciding factor for me in choosing the iPhone 4.
@kamalneet You are absolutely right. When I rotate my 3GS as shown in the video at 0:58 my screen doesn't look blue or faded at all. It looks just fine and I can easily see all the icons and the text below them.
@TheAppleHunter have u tried changing the brightness ? puta complete white wall paper on it and then try to notice a difference, but still if its just a bit yellowish, just ignore it. as far as u see any dead pixels or dead spots on the lcd. ifs its a lot yellowish take it back and get another one. but i think i would be fine.
@yappers4 you should try those privacy screen protectors where from an angle your screen will look completly black or shaded.. Only angle you have a clear view from is from the front
Absolutely fantastic comparison. Well done sir. Pricey device (especially on pay-as-you-go) but that display appears to be unparalleled at the moment. Am I right in thinking though that the 4th Gen Touch, while ostensibly still using the same retina display, actually compromises on the viewing angles?
Great comparison! This is probably without a doubt the best feature of the iPhone 4 besides FaceTime and the A4 processor. Just because of that and all of the other features of the iPhone 4, I really want this for Christmas so I can replace my old 2nd gen iPod Touch from 2008. Just looking at the 4th gen iPod Touch and iPhone makes my iPod Touch seem obsolete! Come on Christmas!
@DetroitBORG Unfortunately the ipod touch 4g display is actually a LED display instead of the IPS LCD display used on the iphone 4 so the yo don't get the better viewing angles and colours
@regalfagal go for the iPhone 4, i had a case on not only to prevent the reception going down but also to protect the device. Iphone 4 is not the kind of technology that you would want to drop often. It sounds like crashing glass in to tiny pieces by dropping it without the case.
2:43 it seems to me like whenever your camera is a foot or so back the displays look relatively the same. The only time you can really notice the pixelation is when the camera lens is only a few inches away from the screen. But really, who holds their iPhone that close their face? I mean, i have a 3GS and the closest the phone ever gets to my face is about 1 foot. Kudos for a higher res screen but is it really that much better?
@DetroitBORG oh really? This was just something I was told because apparently when you look at the new ipod touches screen the viewing angles are like the iphone 3gs's I think there may be a vid on youtube somewhere
@cdnml Did you see the display with the naked eye? When I saw it in a TH-cam video myself, I wasn't that impressed. Then I tried out my Uncle's iPhone 4, and the display was truly amazing. You really have to see for yourself.
hi, I noticed that your iphone 4 in this video got a yellowish display compared to your 3gs. Is that a defect or just normal?Does your iphone 4 had the yellowish display like that up until now? Because I just bought an Ip4s and the display is yellowish compared to my aunt's ip4 which is more blueish.Some says it is a defect, other says its just because it is new and that some Ip4 had the same problem last year, and that the yellowish screen will disappear after a period of time?Pls reply.
@Mrturbopanzer technically it would be "HD" not full hd or anything (considering how standard definition is only 640 * 480) but you wouldnt be able to tell the difference even it it was hence "retina display", it's as clear as you could ever tell in a screen that's only 3.5in. It's not all in just the number of pixels, but the number of pixels crammed into a small screen. It has more pixels than a sd tv in a 3.5in screen so it's infinitely clearer.
I'm getting an itouch 4g it has the same retina display and camera :D I compared my 2g with my friend's 4g and it makes a huge difference especially when looking at cartoon hair
@qazygvwsxtfcedr @mbstylo actually the yellowish screen is caused by the adhesive used in the iphone 4/4s which apple said will be gone by time. They used different adhesive for the iphone 4/4s because they laminated the display to the cover glass.
Extra 100 is most definitely worth it. I was using an older iPod touch after having bought the new one, and the real life difference is insane! I was like "wow! Apple actually sold this? Anyways your not just paying for Retina display, but also the cameras, FaceTime, A4 processor, and a load of other differences.
@Czernobuh what a very smart way to say "I don't have it." you don't have an iPhone 4 that's why you posted a comment like this. Remember that in life there is "need" and "want"... we don't NEED the retina display of iphone 4, we just WANT it.
Maybe I missed something but I didn't notice you addressing the elephant in the room here, namely the overall yellow tone on the new iphone's display. Do you think Apple purposely designed it this way and if so, WHY? Otherwise this is an informative video.
Well, in the apple commercial of the iphone 4s, they said that they added a retina display. Soo I in that situation I would think that the iphone 4 does not have retina display -__-
Great job on the examples! And of course no one is going to use their iPhone 4 sideways! lol Come on! The author did this to show the extent in better quality. In real life situations (say you tilt the screen angle slightly), the color will stay consistent. That is a better experience. I need this because I am already spoiled by my IPS display monitor. So this technology, for me, is standard.
bro why the iphone 4 display is a bit yellowish? what was the brightness when u recorded this? and do not pay attention to what i am saying about it but its looks just a bit yellowish not a big difference at all i mean clarity is the main thing after all and no doubt Iphone 4 wins,
@Merc140497 lol speaking of the battery percentage, its kind of annoying, like, when i look at it, and i see it slowly going down, its like FUCK another one down, honestly it makes the battery seems alot smaller
Well,i have to agree that the iPhone 4 has a much better display than the 3GS or Nexus One(like those people stated). Wow,i only can change at the end of the year.
@High2Tension yes i have chance the brightness and i have put a complete white wallpaper and its yellow and it have a big different i will go Tomorrow to a apple store and i will take it back and geht another one
Although I would never zoom-in to my device, the difference is definitely a big one... My 3GS looks perfect to me, and if there's that difference, I can't even imagine the iPhone 4 :)))
The upgrade isn't worth it unless facetime, gaming and camera/video is a priority. The display on the 3GS is no slouch, the speed is no slouch, everyday use between the 2 phones are almost identical. Did I mention that my 3GS beats most 4G Androids in terms of speed? Personal experience. No lie
I don't really think that it makes a huge difference. When you're using your iPhone, you don't look at it that close. I mean, at the beginning of the video, without the zoom, I couldn't find any differences between the two displays :)
@TheAppleHunter allright If they tell u that its all right this and that stuff, just dont listen to them and have it changed plus delete all ur data before giving it to them. do not delete every thing while going, delete after they agree. and they will dont worry
@DetroitBORG u hav an awesome awesome Camera!!! it actually focused on the pixels on the 3GS. WOW! i'll buy the same camera tht u hav if i need a camera.
My gosh that iphone 4 is still one sexy thing even to this day!
Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to see. All other comparisons seem to focus on speed only.
I just got one of these today, and you are right about the quality of the retina display! It is just absolutely gorgeous! This is by far the best screen I've ever seen on a mobile device, let alone a cell phone!
Lmao my jaw dropped for the whole time that you were doing the zoom in to show how much the pixels showed on the 3gs vs the Iphone 4. Sheesh. I'm gettin' mine NOW!
Great job with the comparison of the new and old screen. Best comparison on TH-cam right now for sure dude. Good job!
best illustration of the retina display so far!!
By far the best/ only video actually showing the quality of the Retina Display, great job.
Great video! The first video I've seen on TH-cam where you can really tell the difference between the two displays.
AWESOME comparison vid. Best on TH-cam, so good job!
This screen is KILLER. If this was the only new thing on the iPhone 4 I'd still have gotten it. I am loving this thing!!
Excellent comparison! :D Loved the vid
Lol 10 years ago
NOW THIS IS WHAT I CALL A GOOD COMPARISON VIDEO! well done!!
I just want to say this is a great review, very complete, exellent quality and explanation.
Great video!!
best comparison video ive seen so far
you actually did a good job trying to show how clear the retina display really is, because it's really hard to show on a video camera. people who havent seen it, need to see it in real life. when i first saw the phone in real life i couldnt believe how clear the resolution was. like NOTICEABLY clear, even if you weren't told beforehand
nice and precise description on the pixel, now I know why the new iPhone4 was a big hype
wow, the Retina Display is absolutely gorgeous. really beautiful
Your video shows just how much of a difference the iPhone 4's retina display is over the previous model. I don't think I've seen a TH-cam video that provides a better, detailed comparison. Bravo!

best video i've seen of the two screen comparison
great job :)
Thanks for this vid... Helped me a lot to understand what retina display means...
Awesome demonstration.
BEST RETINA DISPLAY DEMONSTRATION VIDEO! U'r The BEST!
Facts
I want a iPhone 4 but I recently bought a MacBook and a iPad so I'd have to wait a couple of months, thanks for the good video!
@kamalneet You are absolutely right. When I rotate my 3GS as shown in the video at 0:58 my screen doesn't look blue or faded at all. It looks just fine and I can easily see all the icons and the text below them.

wow dude thanks! all the other videos about this retina display arn't very good but this one is, thank you
The best video I've ever seen :D well done!
very very very nice review bro i was looking for the same thing u uploaded
good video, best video ive seen that shows how much better the retina display is on the iPhone 4 compared to the 3GS
@yappers4 you should try those privacy screen protectors where from an angle your screen will look completly black or shaded.. Only angle you have a clear view from is from the front

Am I right in thinking though that the 4th Gen Touch, while ostensibly still using the same retina display, actually compromises on the viewing angles?
Why does your iphone 3gs phone icon have that red thing on it but no numbers like it is supposed to?
Great comparison! This is probably without a doubt the best feature of the iPhone 4 besides FaceTime and the A4 processor. Just because of that and all of the other features of the iPhone 4, I really want this for Christmas so I can replace my old 2nd gen iPod Touch from 2008. Just looking at the 4th gen iPod Touch and iPhone makes my iPod Touch seem obsolete! Come on Christmas!
bro why the iphone 4 display is a bit yellowish? what was the brightness when u recorded this?
Wow how much you've changed since then!
@DetroitBORG Unfortunately the ipod touch 4g display is actually a LED display instead of the IPS LCD display used on the iphone 4 so the yo don't get the better viewing angles and colours
Hello do you think people buy it for the fact of having it
Best Comparison on TH-cam! :D
Dude I love UR videos
When you dont have a screen protector on your iphone 4, will it scratch your phone easily if you slip it in your jean pocket?
I’m still amazed that Apple is still using a 326 ppi display on some of their iPhones such as the 11 and SE.
Why does the 3GS have a badge on the Phone icon but no number?
Thanks so much for the comparison video. This was very helpful :)
@regalfagal go for the iPhone 4, i had a case on not only to prevent the reception going down but also to protect the device. Iphone 4 is not the kind of technology that you would want to drop often. It sounds like crashing glass in to tiny pieces by dropping it without the case.
Thanks for this comparison and the display of the iPhone 4 is a big deal for me, now I know I want iPhone 4 badly!
Can you put the battery percentage on any iPod Touches by any chance without jailbreaking of course? Thanks...
why does the color white show better and brighter on the 3gs than on the iphone 4?
You got a nice cam
very good comparison!
can you please tell me where I can get that yellow gears wallpaper that was on your 3gs
That's a good demonstration. :)
how did you get your battery percentage to show on your touch?
2:43 it seems to me like whenever your camera is a foot or so back the displays look relatively the same. The only time you can really notice the pixelation is when the camera lens is only a few inches away from the screen. But really, who holds their iPhone that close their face? I mean, i have a 3GS and the closest the phone ever gets to my face is about 1 foot. Kudos for a higher res screen but is it really that much better?
@DetroitBORG why is the iphone 4 slightly yellowish tho?
@DetroitBORG oh really? This was just something I was told because apparently when you look at the new ipod touches screen the viewing angles are like the iphone 3gs's
I think there may be a vid on youtube somewhere
ive never had a cool cell phone, my dads getting me this one this weekend, cant wait,
say i want to buy a iphone4. can i use it w/o activating it like if i just want to use the ipod and the camra? plz some1 reply
what lockscreen did you have on the 3gs?
why is the iphone4 with retina screen display has the yellow wish color?
whys the iphone 4's screen so much darker?
is it a fault?
@cdnml Did you see the display with the naked eye? When I saw it in a TH-cam video myself, I wasn't that impressed. Then I tried out my Uncle's iPhone 4, and the display was truly amazing. You really have to see for yourself.
wow! Great video well done looks like an amaing camera you got there
hi, I noticed that your iphone 4 in this video got a yellowish display compared to your 3gs. Is that a defect or just normal?Does your iphone 4 had the yellowish display like that up until now?

Kevin de guzman its normal dude, dont you worry bout it
@Mrturbopanzer technically it would be "HD" not full hd or anything (considering how standard definition is only 640 * 480) but you wouldnt be able to tell the difference even it it was hence "retina display", it's as clear as you could ever tell in a screen that's only 3.5in.

I'm getting an itouch 4g it has the same retina display and camera :D I compared my 2g with my friend's 4g and it makes a huge difference especially when looking at cartoon hair
the screen from my iphone4 is a little bit yellow and the screen from my friends iphone4 is White !!
2:44
is this Normal?
could anyone tell me what's the icon on the status bar that is next 2 the clock that looks like a phone? i've never seen 1 before
@qazygvwsxtfcedr @mbstylo actually the yellowish screen is caused by the adhesive used in the iphone 4/4s which apple said will be gone by time. They used different adhesive for the iphone 4/4s because they laminated the display to the cover glass.
just i need your wallpaper in your 3gs i think its a watch movement pls give me it its very nice
ooooohhhhh my god. the difference is huge.
very good comparisson dude.
that reminds me when i compared the nintendo DSi screens with the ipod touch`s
Why the iPhone 4 is like Yellow on the display?
0:00 - Why do u have blank notification icon on Phone? - 4:34
Hey would you sell that 3GS?
Is it me or do the colours seem better on the 3GS? Whites seem more realistic for a start.
Great video!
Extra 100 is most definitely worth it. I was using an older iPod touch after having bought the new one, and the real life difference is insane! I was like "wow! Apple actually sold this? Anyways your not just paying for Retina display, but also the cameras, FaceTime, A4 processor, and a load of other differences.
uau!... great ilustration! perfect!

HOW COME THE IPHONE 3GS HAS A LIGHTER SCREEN
Why would i want to hold my phone at that angle to see the screen?
Maybe I missed something but I didn't notice you addressing the elephant in the room here, namely the overall yellow tone on the new iphone's display. Do you think Apple purposely designed it this way and if so, WHY?
Otherwise this is an informative video.
@mrdanyel2010 explain that please.becuase 326 is twice 163.....
i have to w8 for mine :'(
thx 4 the video,
its the only decent one to see the retina difference :D
Well, in the apple commercial of the iphone 4s, they said that they added a retina display. Soo I in that situation I would think that the iphone 4 does not have retina display -__-

The 3GS Looks brighter but I guess you could always turn up the brightness on the iphone 4
@Merc140497 lol speaking of the battery percentage, its kind of annoying, like, when i look at it, and i see it slowly going down, its like FUCK another one down, honestly it makes the battery seems alot smaller
Hey did anyone notice the iphone 4 display was a little yellowish than the 3gs? or is it just me?
Great video
Currently typing on my iPhone XS Max
Jo Zart currently typing on my Nokia 3310
why would i view my phone from a 90 degree angle?!
aryo to watch porn
Well,i have to agree that the iPhone 4 has a much better display than the 3GS or Nexus One(like those people stated). Wow,i only can change at the end of the year.
@High2Tension yes i have chance the brightness and i have put a complete white wallpaper and its yellow and it have a big different i will go Tomorrow to a apple store and i will take it back and geht another one
Nice Klipsch speakers dude! :)
Thanks man u answered my question exactly
Although I would never zoom-in to my device, the difference is definitely a big one...

Yeah but think about people who might have to look on it to, from a different angle (like if you're watching a video clip)
@TheAppleHunter allright If they tell u that its all right this and that stuff, just dont listen to them and have it changed plus delete all ur data before giving it to them. do not delete every thing while going, delete after they agree. and they will dont worry
