Steve Jobs just finished unveiling iPhone 4.0, a thin slab of smartphone, with an amazingly sharp screen.
2010-06-07Steve also announced how much developers have made from Apple, the renamed iPhone OS, and FaceTime, the video chat feature for the iPhone.
The new iPhone is called the iPhone 4
It's the thinnest smartphone ever, says Apple. It has a stainless steel band running around it with little notches. The band and the notches are part of the integrated antenna. It also has a glass back. Add it all up, and Steve says you get a phone that delivers a clear signal. The phone goes on sale June 24. It costs $199 for a 16 gig version, $299 for a 32 gig version.
The battery life on the iPhone 4 is pretty sick. 7 Hours 3G talk time up from 5 hours on last phone.
iPhone 4 has a gyroscope in it and it runs on an A4 chip. (That's the same chip powering the iPad.)
The iPhone will have a front facing camera for video chats. The video chat service is called FaceTime.
The screen has 4X the pixels of the last iPhone. It looks like an amazingly sharp screen.
Apple is selling iMovie for the iPhone.
The new iPhone has a 5 megapixel camera that shoots in HD. You can edit the video from iPhone 4 in iMovie for the iPhone. It's a $4.99 app. And it'll be in the App Store, "if it's approved," joked Steve Jobs.
