The iPhone 4G Features, Specs and Release Notes

During the WWDC today, Steve Jobs announced a new iPhone 4. It has an all new sleek glass and metal (doubles as an antenna) design.

After a series of leaked prototypes, people have been trying to figure out the exact specifications of the new iPhone and now that it has been officially released in San Francisco on Monday, people should be happy now.

The iPhone 4 Features:

• 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
• 4x the pixels
• 24% slimmer design from the 3GS
• Multitasking
• HD video capability (720p) @ 30fps
• 5MP camera with selective tap-to-zoom and LED flash
• Extended battery life
• 16 and 32 GB versions
• ...and more

UPDATE: Preorders will begin June 15. The first shipments will be June 24. If your contract expires any time in 2010, you are immediately eligible for the update offer.

Any idea what the cost will be with a new contract for one of these compared with a 3g/3gs?
I'm looking at getting an iPhone, but can wait if the price of this won't be too outrageous.

Been reading about it here a while back as well.

Found the Wifi crashing bit to be a bit entertaining XD

10:41 a.m.: Now he's showing us The New York Times, though the connection is hanging a bit. "The networks are always kind of unpredictable in here. If you're on Wi-Fi, if you could just get off, I'd appreciate it," he says.

10:42 a.m.: "I don't know what's wrong with our networks," Jobs says. He's silent for a bit. But now he's going to try some back ups, he tells us.

10:42 a.m.: His phone says "Cannot activate cellular networks," to some laughs from the crowd. "Well geez. I guess I can't show you that much today. I can show you some pictures."

10:44 a.m.: He shows us the difference in picture quality. He's trying the phone demo again. "I'm sorry guys, I don't know what's going on." "Got any suggestions?" he asks. Someone shouts "Verizon." Jobs says, "We're actually on Wi-Fi here."

10:44 a.m. (Kent German): With the connection issue I wouldn't want to be the AT&T rep in the crowd.

All in all though it looks like quite a significant update from the previous Iphone. Wonder how much the Iphone leak affected it, they took some pretty drastic measures on Gizmodo.

And anything Apple thinks up of now has to look good compared to the Ipad.

Tesco: Not sure about the non upgrade prices, but I always find that the heavy charges that accompany the required data plan to be of much more significance than the price of the phone itself. Something you should consider.

What is this, modly stereotyping? I will not be associated with the large candidan presence on this board.

I have built my entire life principals upon hating candidans with every fiber of my being. True story.

I posted this in the $20 fred, but here it is again:

If you're eligible for an upgrade or just a new customer, the cost is $199 for the 16GB and $299 for the 32GB.

If you're just picking one up, it'll probably be $399 and $499 but I don't think that's been announced yet.

I got the 3GS 16GB right when it was released last year for $199 and sold my 2G iPhone on eBay for $209, so that worked out nice. I'm considering buying the this new 32GB version but not sure if I want to fork over $499. I'll either get on the pre-order list on June 15 or wait a year for the next one.

The 3GS has just dropped to $99, so there's that also. (I guess they want to make sure all the retailers can sell out of them before the new phone hits) It's a great phone. I fucking enjoy the shit out it. Do not go with the 2G or 3G though; the 3GS is far superior.

It's a great phone. I fucking enjoy the shit out it.

Same here, I'm running the latest "iOS 4" beta on my 3GS (iOS 4 Gold Master Candidate) and it's boss..can't wait for the official release of it on June 21st.
