Apple iPhone 4 - New Features Explained

At the WWDC 2010 Apple CEO just announced Apple's next-gen iPhone. Uninspiringly called iPhone 4, the new device comes with a bunch of new features along with the new design you've already seen well in advance in various leaks.

Design-wise the iPhone 4G packs a thin 9.3mm body with a metallic frame encircling the body. That metallic frame also serves as an antenna. Quite interestingly, the iPhone 4 back is also covered by glass much like the display upfront. Apple are reportedly using some new hardened glass that's supposedly way better than plastic. They are calling it engineered glass and we guess it's something
along the lines of Gorilla glass.

The iPhone 4 uses a microSIM port (sigh!) much like the iPad Wi-Fi+3G and is powered by the same 1GHz Apple A4 platform ensuring extra speedy performance. Available storage capacities for the iPhone 4 are 16GB and 32GB. A secondary microphone caters for active background noise suppression.

The Apple iPhone 4 features a newly developed extra high-resolutions screen called Retina display. It delivers 640 x 960 pixels resolution, which amounts to a staggering pixel density of 326 pixels per inch.

The resolution is four times higher than the three iPhones so far, which means application upsamling should be quite easier for software developers. The 800:1 contrast ratio of the new display (a IPS panel) is also four times the previous ones.

The iPhone 4 makes use of 5 megapixel camera with LED flash. The sensor of the camera is backside-illuminated, which should probably deliver better highISO performance.

iPhone 4 records 720p HD video at impressive 30 fps. You can edit your movies straight on the iPhone thanks the built-in editor (plus you can use the new iMovie app from the AppStore) and the LED flash doubles as a video light quite expectedly. The video recording also makes use of tap-to-focus.

In the US the iPhone 4 16GB will be priced at 199 US dollars while the 32GB will go for 299 US dollars. A new version of iPhone 3GS with 8GB storage will be sold for 99 US dollars.

Pre-orders for the iPhone 4 start in eight days on 15 June and shipments to US, France, Germany, UK and Japan will begin on 24 June.

O fk off. Yet another marketing bolx advert for something they had ADGES ago but wanted to take all our money for the older versions 1st.. Ipad is the same. All the future versions of the IPAD would be able to be released now but they want to get every penny out of us by releasing small updates and calling it a new product.

@Anavengertg

Thanks, but I already know how multitasking works.

[Anavengertg]

@TokyoNerd Well it's true anyway. I own the iPhone 4. Whenever you go into the OS's multitasking mode, if you leave an app, and get back to it, it starts where you previously left off.

[TokyoNerd]

@Anavengertg

That's not the way it was explained in the video, so that's not what he leads me to believe.

[Anavengertg]

@TokyoNerd It does have Multitaking for All apps. It's built into the OS not the individual app.

[Anavengertg]

@TokyoNerd I've been on the window's side of things for 15 years. Then I've used Apple products. You just can't compare the user experience. The only people I know who claim that the iPhone is over rated are those who have never used an iPhone before.

[TokyoNerd]

"...enables multitasking for all apps..." Um, no it doesn't. Most third party apps don't support the multitasking. He lied about the product, it really make me want an iphone 4 now.
