White iPhone 4 Unboxing (Video)

Posted by arm On August - 23 - 2010

The video looks authentic and it looks like an iPhone actually MADE my Apple, not some DIY white iPhone 4 thing. For instance the flash on this device looks legit, with its silver border. The silver border didn’t look like this on the DIY white covers for the iPhone 4.

Verizon iPhone Due January 2011

Posted by arm On August - 8 - 2010

We can be seeing the iPhone land on the Verizon [VZ] network in January. The reasons for this are related to tracking what components are in demand. In the case of the iPad, large 9.7 inch screens were being built which helped give some of the details away.

What we hear now is that Apple [AAPL] has placed an order for a large amount of CDMA chips. As the iPhone 4 and other models do not currently use CDMA, it is believed that they are being purchased for the Verizon iPhone 4. TechCrunch also go on to say that the iPhone 4 will arrive on Verizon in January 2011.

The chips that have been ordered are being prepared for what is believed to be a December run in producing a new iPhone 4 with CDMA inside in preparation for a January launch.

Of course, we could just add this to the rumours pile again although Engadget also found some details whilst digging through the AT&T [T] earnings report which talk about not being reliant on a single handset.

iPhone 4 HD Now Available

Posted by arm On June - 7 - 2010

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?

Global smartphone sold 54.3 million units for a 48.7 percent year-over-year enhance.

Roberta Cozza, principal research analyst at Gartner shared that producers need to securely mingle hardware, punter interface, and cloud and social networking services, so as to vie in such a ruthless antagonism, if they truly want to attract the customers. Cozza further added, “Just adding a QWERTY keyboard will not make a device fit the communication habits of today’s various consumer segments”.
