Apple® today presented the new iPhone® 4 featuring FaceTime, which makes the dream of video calling a reality, and Apple’s stunning new Retina display, the highest resolution display ever built into a phone, resulting in super crisp text, images and video. In addition, iPhone 4 features a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, Apple’s A4 processor, a 3-axis gyro and up to 40 percent longer talk time—in a beautiful all-new design of glass and stainless steel that is the thinnest smartphone in the world. iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, which includes over 100 new features and 1500 new APIs for developers. iOS 4 features Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform. iPhone 4 will be available in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan on June 24, starting in the US at just $199 for qualified buyers with a two year contract.*
“iPhone 4 is the biggest leap since the original iPhone,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “FaceTime video calling sets a new standard for mobile communication, and our new Retina display is the highest resolution display ever in a phone, with text looking like it does on a fine printed page. We have been dreaming about both of these breakthroughs for decades.”
FaceTime is as mobile as your phone, so you can see your loved ones and friends anywhere there is Wi-Fi. Using FaceTime is as easy as making a regular voice call, with no set-up required, and you can instantly switch to the rear camera to show others what you are seeing with just a tap.
Apple’s stunning 3.5 inch Retina display has 960 x 640 pixels—four times as many pixels as the iPhone 3GS and 78 percent of the pixels on an iPad™. The resulting 326 pixels per inch is so dense that the human eye is unable to distinguish individual pixels when the phone is held at a normal distance, making text, images and video look sharper, smoother and more realistic than ever before on an electronic display.
iPhone 4 is the thinnest smartphone ever—9.3 millimeters—with an all-new design and build quality like no other mobile device. The front and back are made of aluminosilcate glass, chemically strengthened to be 30 times harder than plastic, more scratch resistant and more durable than ever. The front and back glass have an oil-resistant coating that helps keep it clean, and encircling iPhone 4 is a highly finished stainless steel band made of a custom alloy that is forged to be five times stronger than standard steel.
iPhone 4 features a new 5 megapixel autofocus camera with a 5x digital zoom, a backside illuminated sensor and built-in LED flash that allows you to take amazing pictures even in low light and dark environments. iPhone 4 lets you record and edit incredible HD video and the popular tap to focus feature now works while recording video. You can use the iPhone 4‘s LED flash for both still photography and video recording. The new iMovie® app for iPhone lets you combine movie clips, add dynamic transitions and themes and include photos and music, and users can buy it for just $4.99 through the App Store right on their phone.
iPhone 4 is the best mobile device ever for games and entertainment, with access to tens of thousands of games and entertainment apps on the revolutionary App Store. Every iPhone 4 has a built-in 3-axis gyro that when combined with the accelerometer provides 6-axis motion sensing such as up and down, side to side, forward and backward and pitch and roll, making it perfect for gaming. Developers can access the gyro using the new CoreMotion API to make games and other apps that go well beyond what other mobile devices offer.
iPhone 4 comes with iOS 4, the newest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system. With over 100 new features, it includes Multitasking, Folders, enhanced Mail, deeper Enterprise support and Apple’s new iAd mobile advertising platform. With Multitasking, users can now instantly switch between any of their apps while preserving battery life. With Folders, users can easily organize their apps into collections by simply dragging one app on top of another. A folder is automatically created and named based on the category of apps selected. Users can change the name of any folder at any time. In addition, users can now customize their lock and home screens with an array of supplied wallpapers or with any of the photos on their phone.
The new iBooks® app will be available for iPhone 4 as a free download from the App Store and includes Apple’s new iBookstore, the best way to browse, buy and read books on a mobile product. The iBooks app will sync your current place in a book, along with any bookmarks, highlights and notes you have created, between copies of the same book on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch®. iBooks users can also now read and store PDFs right in iBooks. There are now over 60,000 books available in the iBookstore, and users have downloaded over five million books in the first two months.
More than five billion apps have been downloaded from the revolutionary App Store and more than 225,000 apps are available to consumers in 90 countries. Almost 100 million iPhone and iPod touch users around the world can choose from an incredible range of apps in 20 categories, including games, business, news, sports, health, reference and travel.
iPhone 4 delivers an amazing seven hours of talk time on 3G networks, up to 10 hours of web browsing on Wi-Fi and up to six hours on 3G, and up to 10 hours of video playback and up to 40 hours of audio playback.** iPhone 4 is powered by Apple’s new A4 processor that provides exceptional processor and graphic performance along with long battery life. iPhone 4 features a second microphone and advanced software to suppress unwanted background noise for improved call quality when in loud places. iPhone 4 also offers 802.11n Wi-Fi networking and adds quad-band HSUPA to provide 7.2Mbps downlink and 5.8Mbps uplink capability.***
Pricing & Availability
iPhone 4 comes in either black or white and will be available in the US for a suggested retail price of $199 (US) for the 16GB model and $299 (US) for the 32GB model in both Apple and AT&T’s retail and online stores, Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores. iPhone 4 will be available in the US, France, Germany, Japan and the UK on June 24 and customers can pre-order their iPhone 4 beginning Tuesday, June 15 from the Apple Online Store or reserve an iPhone 4 to pick up at an Apple Retail Store. iMovie for iPhone will be available on the App Store for just $4.99 (US).

Give the design part of iphone to SE, apple. That looks ridiculously ugly.
Posted by voda_jon
shame u have an image of the Mighty Mouse that was released about a yr ago.
iphone HD should be a nice looking phone going by the leaked images that engadget and gizmodo have on their sites.
Posted by julias
I don't actually like the design of the handset that was leaked on gizmodo i think it looks quite ordinary much rather prefer the current 3GS design
Posted by badassmam
Should have the highest resolution screen for a phone to date. There should be some surprises left.......bloody Gizmodo buying stolen goods and all. I really like the design, it looks less like a toy now.
Lets hope we get a mega shock with some kind of iPhone nano or something. The next iPods are almost phones now with cameras and stuff. A small screen like the X10 mini would be fine.
Posted by Bonovox
Yes highest res screen with more features going to kill battery life even more. Apple have just discovered a camera needs a flash lol
Posted by julias
I believe this could be it which will bring it more in line with the ipads design and if its anything like that horrible gizmodo prototype then i'm sticking with my 3GS

10:38AM "People haven't even dreamed about a display like this. But there's more -- it turns out there's a magic number that is right around this ppi that when you hold it away from your face... all of sudden things start to look like continues curves. Like text in a fine printed book."
10:38AM "We are comfortably over that limit. Here's a normal display on the left, and the RD on the right. Can you see it?"

So you get faster connection because there is less housing covering the phone, if only i could afford one of these babys
if they dont add this stuff to the ipod touch i would be very unhappy 
because i might get a new itouch.
im refreshing every sec on engadget http://www.engadget.com/2010/[....]teve-jobs-live-from-wwdc-2010/
Posted by Bonovox
Oh I see but is it not a good idea putting antennas on steel or metal? I only say that cos most phones where the antenna is has always been plastic cos metal interferes with signals
Just a thought I am probably talking out my arse

I am refreshing every milisecond
NEW CAMERA SYSTEM!!! FINALLY!

i think that not every metal interferes! Titanium is the worst i think, i heard of something like that when that dude made a titanium steel for his 3GS!

10:56AM 720p at 30fps!
10:56AM "So we're really happy. We think we have a great camera. But that's not all... because it also records HD video."
im going to drop dead i wish i could buy one but im only 13, makes my x10 look like what comes out of my behind.

720p at 30fps
I love you Apple!
I bet some geeks are mastubrating now
oooh and iMovie for the iPhone!
Posted by Bonovox
Yeah it's like when I had the Nokia 6700 it was all steel except where the antenna was. Sorry going off topic
Does this new iphone have an HDMI output to view HD video on a HDTV? If not then it's pointless IF you don't have the right equipment it's pointless having HD video imo. What type camera is it? I won't be buying one[ This Message was edited by: Bonovox on 2010-06-07 19:01 ]

imovie for iphone, no that would be a disarster
too much for any phone. its bad with 2gigs on a mbp 13 it will be worse on an iphone.
Posted by Domecot
iMovie would have been available sooner but the processor! The new A4 should make it smooth! Do you really think Steve would approved the iMovie if it sucked phonecrzy?
Posted by AbuBasim
Good thing with steel instead of the chrome they used on the 3GS. The chrome is so delicate that you better not use the phone unless clean-shaven, otherwise the chrome will be scratched by your beard stubble.
I just bought the 3GS again and will upgrade to the 4 this time next year when they announce the next iPhone and the 4 will have dropped in price.
"Backside illuminated sensor"? Backside? Is this like the IR mode some early camcorders had that made clothes transparent?

lucky engadget are 3g.
Posted by Tsepz_GP
Okay,so the RD screen sounds great,but 5MP camera, 720p @30FPS? Arent those things we have already seen? And X10 will be getting 720p @30FPS with continuous focus so i dnt realy see anything worth hyping in the iPhone4's camera lol.
The antenna part sounds good

Steve thinks Bing has a good future? I don't use it but i guess it's ok! Where's masseur? maybe on the event?

To be honest, iPhone users are hyped because they didn't have some of the features being announcing now before.
Exagerated?

Seems like the 640x960 res display is the only completely new thing. Must say though.at a res that high Web browsing will be excellent, far less pan and zooming,they have finaly dropped that shitty 320x480 res.
The rest was typical iPhone, not much new hardware,the major leaps are all going to be in the software where Apple are destroying the rest.
Once again,im not interested. Think i will DEFINETLY be getting a X10 then.
By the way how much larger is the new iPhone4's battery compared to 3GS?
