Looking for some more info about the new iPhone? Firstly, the actual brand new design. The iPhone 4 represents the first radical transformation ever since the iPhone first introduced in 2007. Glass on the front and back and steel around the edges promises to give the iPhone 4 a really special feel and look. Being merely 9.3mm thick, the iPhone 4 is also amazingly thin, 24% thinner than the iphone 3GS.. Other design and style modifications reveal a main camera with an LED flash (finally!), a front facing digital camera, stylish volume controls along with, in what Jobs boasts is a world first, an antenna which is part of the prime structural part of the iPhone 4.
The next area we will look at is a feature that Apple will be naming Retina Display that is the new display screen technology used for the iPhone 4. A new 3.5-inch “Retina” IPS LCD display screen is going to be the norm for all future iPhone versions (including the iPhone 4) and can feature 326 pixels per inch with an overall resolution of 960 by 640. What does this mean? Well it has a better resolution than any other mobile phone currently on the market and is going to provide much better pictures and zoom function.
Thirdly, the iPhone 4 shall be powered through the A4 chip that is the same one used on the ipad is what knocks your socks off. Among all the things it will do that are wonderful, the thing you will really observe is that the power management feature it has is going to lengthen the battery life that has already been beefed up separately. Having 7 hours of call time is going to be nice without any doubt. Its gyroscope feature is going to take gaming to a whole brand new level, however if you aren’t a gamer that won’t make a difference.
Next is something Apple are clearly very pleased with; the iPhone 4 has a built in gyroscope. This 3 axis gyro works in conjunction with the accelerometer and compass resulting in six axis that is ideal for video gaming. Imagine the Wii and you’re going to get close. Jobs demoed this using a game much the same to Jenga and it definitely looked enjoyable and, more essentially, incredibly responsive.
Apple’s latest features are generally coming rapidly and at number five, we have a true massive one. It's principal digital camera is the topic of a “whole new camera system” – and it will be upgraded from three to five mps, the camera also features a backside illuminated sensor which increases the caliber of pictures shot in poor light. It's actually also a lot better for video, seeing that it is carrying an HD-digital camera which will be able to shoot 720p at 30fps – which Apple is calling real Hi-def
Feature six is one that the majority of of us are already acquainted with, the new iPhone OS 4. We will not going to go into too much detail here, as this is a review of the mobile phone and not the software, nevertheless the high light of the latest version of iPhone OS is without question enable you to operate numerous applications at the same time (multi-task). And whilst Apple themselves will gladly tell you they weren’t the first to give you a multi-tasking smartphone, they're confident they managed to build something which will not obliterate your battery pack. We’ll reserve judgement till we’ve taken iPhone OS 4 for a spin.
Seven is yet another feature that we are already familiar with however one which is fantastic all the same; iBooks is coming to iPhone 4. iBook will work in a similar way to iTunes and you could collect and store a entire range of books into the libaray on your new Apple iPhone 4.
Lastly, number eight is called iAds. A tool designed to help developers earn money so that in turn they can drive down the cost of apps and offer a wider selection of free and low cost apps. iAds is fairly self explanatory; it automatically places advertising space into an app (providing the developer selects this option) and makes money for the app creators when you click on a app or download something, it will not cost you anything. A random feature to finish on from a user viewpoint, however one that will definitely have app developers very excited.
So there you have it, are look at the new iPhone 4 and only a tiny sample of some of the hundred additional features we’ll be enjoying in the coming weeks.
