Hey guys, when I get my iPhone 4 will it have the proper resolution already set up or do you can swtich between Retinas Mode and a lower resolution, like maybe the 3GS resolution. That way you can save battery power when you're on the go, and don't need the higher res.

Thanks
 
I felt bad for my original post, it's just there, there is no switching res there is no activating it.
 
Make two circles with your finger as you do a screen shot. Make sure its counter clockwise or it may brick your phone...err clockwise. Dunno , one of those, I'm sure

The iPhone 4 has a resolution of 960 x 640 pixels. You cannot change how many pixels a screen has, they are physical objects.

both answers are dum you can't bring the resolution down. but you still get great battery life

There was a post just like this one yesterday I think. The OP was joking in that one. I was so sure this was the same post until I saw it was posted today.

On the iPhone, everything is the same size on the retina display as with the previous iPhone screens. It is just clearer now.
 
Ok,well since we have that all cleared up I have a seriouse question. Since I have 3G and I only use less than 1 G a month, can I cancel my contract and still use my other 2 Gs until they run out?
