Did you mark your calendar? Set all your appointments to tomorrow? Good. Because Apple has officially announced the next iPhone model. It’s called the iPhone 4, and for all intents and purposes, it’s basically a juggernaut of a device all shoved into a ridiculously small sized frame. There’s a lot of returning features, and yet, all of those returning features are getting a pretty big upgrade for their brand new appearance on the market.
For example, the iPhone 4 features a 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display. However, it adds what Apple is calling a Retina display, which is rocking a 960×640 display. There’s 326 pixels per inch, and just in case you’re not caught up in your pixels per inch information, the human eye can only see 300 ppi. So, Apple basically made sure that the display looks as crisp as humanly possible at all times. The phone itself is only 9.3 millimeters thin, and the front and back are both manufactured of aluminosilcate glass, which is then subsequently chemically enhanced to be 30 times harder than plastic. This in turn makes it far more resistant to scratches. Both the front and back feature an oil-resistant coating /oleophobic?/, while the edges are made of a single band of stainless steel.
On the back, there is a 5MP camera, featuring 5x zoom and 720p HD video capture, and autofocus. It has a backside illuminated sensor, which should make for low-level lighting easier to take your snapshots or capture video. It has also a built-in LED flash. And of course, it’s featuring iPhone OS 4, which has actually been renamed iOS4 (iOS for short). So you’ll get Folders, Unified Inbox, and every other great feature that iOS 4 declared months back.
You can choose from white or black models as well. You’ll be able to get your pre-ordering on starting June 15th, and the devices will be ready for your pick-up on June 24th. Also, keep in mind that the pricing is for new, two-year agreements. So, what do you think? Is the iPhone 4 the smartphone you’ve been waiting for?
