iPhone 4 announced

The much anticipated iPhone 4 has just been officially announced in the States at Apples WWDC event.

While the new name, iPhone 4, clearly didn’t take too much brain storming I am okay with it. Just like Apple to keep it simple.

So lets cut to the chase and tell you what is new with iPhone 4 which should be launching June 24th.

Here are the juicy bits:

The stainless steel band around the iPhone 4 is an antenna system.

3.5 inch screen but with a retina display. 326 pixels per inch which Apple claim is actually more than the human eye can see.

7 hours 3G talk, 6 hours 3G browsing, 10 hours Wi-Fi browsing, 10 hours video, 40 hours of music, and 300 hours of standby.

A4 processor like in the iPad.

Three axis gyroscope for better game play.

5 megapixel camera with a backside illuminated sensor, 5x digital zoom, tap to focus, and LED flash.

Front facing camera.

iPhone 4 camera records HD video! Full 720p at 30fps

iMovies – A $4.99 app to create superb HD home movies.

iOS4 is the new name for the operating system. The iPhone bit has been dropped.

iBooks to come to iPhone. Make once purchase and download the iBook to your iPhone, iPad or iPod.

FaceTime Video calling. At present will be Wi-Fi only although Apple are working with the carriers to get this fixed for the future.

iPhone 4 to come in both black and white.

16gb $199 and 32gb $299 models. No UK pricing yet.
