To no one's surprise, Apple iPhone 4 looks exactly like the one obtained by Gizmodo in mid-April. Today's announcement by Steve Jobs just confirms almost every feature you may find on the new phone. The iPhone 4 is slightly thinner yet contains a battery boosting better run time (7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of video and 10 hours WiFi browsing). The phone has an stainless steel border going around outside; the material doubles as an antenna.
Besides the cosmetic changes, the iPhone quattro receives both major and minor upgrades, including a new speedy Apple A4 processor; a much shaper screen (960 x 640; 326 ppi); a 720p HD video recorder; 802.11n; a front facing camera for video conferencing over WiFi; LED flash; and a second mic for noise cancellation. We would have to say they are mostly incremental improvements, and aren't close to revolutionary. We would have to say the real focus is on the iAds platform which is in fact the real cash cow since you virtually have unlimited amount of inventory if the apps sales continue to skyrocket.
As for pricing, Apple iPhone 4 32GB will retail for $299 and 16GB for $199. A cheaper $99 version of iPhone 3GS along with the other new models will again be available thru AT&T (USA) starting on June 24th. Other countries also receiving the iPhone 4 at the end of the month are France, Germany, Japan and UK. By July's end, the phone will hit these areas: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.
