Apple on Monday unveiled the iPhone 4, the latest version of its popular smartphone, which will include a video calling feature known as FaceTime, a gyroscope, a video editing app, retina display, iBooks, and more. The all new iPhone 4 is just 9.3mm thick and is 24 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS. It’s pretty much similar to what we saw in the leaked photos that soared on the web. On the top, the iPhone 4 has 3.5mm headset jack, secondary Mic and the sleep-wake up button. At the bottom, the iPhone 4 sports primary Mic, speaker and Apple’s proprietary 30-pin connector port. Of course we have the volume controls on the sides.
The display is a 3.5-inch, 960 by 640 pixels, IPS LCD. That means it has four times the number of pixels in the same space at the previous iPhone did, for a total of 326 dots per inch. This should be a lot sharper, both for text and images. And the main camera is now a 5-megapixel cameras with a backside illuminated sensor, digital zoom, and 720p HD video capture.
The iPhone OS 4 is now just iOS 4 and has, a degree of multitasking, a new folder system, and a unified inbox. And on the software side, Apple introduced iMovie for iPhone for $4.99 (which makes lots of sense, and would be even more appropriate for the iPad, if the iPad had a camera).
The new device also includes a camera with LED flash on the back and a front-facing camera, which can be used for one of the highlights of Jobs’ speech – FaceTime. FaceTime will allow for video calling over Wi-Fi between two iPhone 4 devices. Jobs demonstrated the technology at WWDC, which mobile analyst Sascha Segan said was smooth, though a bit delayed.
