For quite some time Apple has managed to grab a huge following with their iconic iPhone and most of that following are loyal when it comes to purchasing a new smartphone and will often stick with the iPhone, but as time rolls on sooner or later someone is going to come out with a better device that is the natural way of things.
A close rival to the iPhone popularity wise is the Android platform with numerous Android based handset surfacing in quick succession and all hope to challenge that iPhone supremacy. A short while ago I posted an article that has Gartner stating Android has beaten Apple in North America and will catch the iPhone globally soon, you can read that post (here)
Of course the latest popularity catching smartphone packing the Android operating system is the much talked about HTC Droid Incredible which is on the Big Red network and according to our recent post which can be found (here) the HTC Droid Incredible is so popular that Verizon is having difficulty with stock.
The rage with the HTC Droid Incredible has reached somewhat of a high as it is now available, but there is a heavy challenger waiting in the wings to pull all eyes away from the Droid Incredible and hopefully surpass its popularity.
Of course I am speaking about the much hyped and extensively leaked and covered since the iPhone 4G Gizmodo Scandal, the upcoming Apple jewel in the crown, the iPhone 4G, or iPhone HD, or whichever you deem to call it.
There has been much speculation and anticipation over the iPhone 4G with specifications being quoted as a 3.5 inch display with LED backlit glossy widescreen multi-touch along with FFS and IPS tech, fingerprint resistant oleophobic coating, a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and HD 720p video recording along with a front facing 2 megapixel camera with iChat support and an Apple A4 1GHz SOC processor and more which can be viewed (here)
If the specs are true with the iPhone 4G, and the expected although unconfirmed release date being during WWDC 2010 along with the much wanted Verizon iPhone as reported (here) it will easily rival the HTC Droid Incredible and the soon to be released Sprint HTC EVO 4G.
Considering the vast dedicated iPhone fan base out there the question we are asking is somewhat of a forgone conclusion I would think, but nevertheless we’ll ask it anyway and that question is can the iPhone 4G surpass the HTC Droid Incredible in popularity?
