An interesting comparison from [this post in the Arstechnica.com forum](https://arstechnica.com/civis/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1114049&ref=chrisenns.com):

Numbers/stats are neat, but one crazy thing to think about is that the iPhone 4 can [record and edit HD (720p) video](https://www.apple.com/iphone/features/hd-video-recording.html?ref=chrisenns.com) \- which you would never be able to do on that desktop iMac.
