It was only a matter of time before Apple and AT&T came out with a brand new iPhone, and on June 7th, 2010, the new iPhone 4 was announced, and on June 24th, the iPhone 4 was supposed to be released in the U.S, U.K, France, Germany and Japan. Steve Jobs announced that the release of the iPhone 4 in a different color, white, was being pushed back to the middle of July. On June 24th, Jobs said the white model was more challenging to manufacture than the original. During it’s first three days, there were 1.7 million units sold. There are two models and 2 colors, the colors are black and white, and the different models are the 16GB and the 32GB.
Apple iPhone 4
The most significant change made to the iPhone 4 is the exterior look to it. The outside casing of the iPhone 3G was just like the iPod touch, but on the iPhone 4, the casing is uninsulated stainless steel, which acts as the phone’s antenna and as the primary structure for the device itself. The stainless steel casing also has 3 slits that divide the band into 3 sections. The left section is the Bluetooth, GPS and Wi-Fi antenna, the other 2 sections act as the UTMS and GMS antenna. It also has the Apple A4 processor and 512MB of eDRAM, which is double what the iPhone 3GS had and 4 times more than the original. The new phone is also 24% thinner than the 3GS, and Jobs claims that it is the thinnest smartphone on the planet.
The phone features a camera on the front and a 5 megapixel camera on the back. The camera on the back also records video in 720p at 30 frames per second. Steve Jobs stated that the iPhone 4 has a Quad-Band, yet it really has a Penta-Band and it has a 3-axis accelerometer which makes it easier to text, send e-mails and go web surfing.
