Curiosity, Apple iPhone 4, - What's So extra About It?

Steve Jobs, Ceo of Apple Inc. Unveiled the new iPhone 4 at Apple Wwdc 2010 conference on 7th June 2010. As a smartphone lover, we are curious...what is so extra about the fourth iteration of the the favorite iPhone.

First of all, the new iPhone 4 is all new designed. The invent of this model is quite separate from its former models. Now it got all new stainless steel nearby it for more strength. Plus these stainless steel also function as a set of integrated antennas for Gsm, Umts, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Gps. This is what known as brilliant engineering. The new iPhone 4 is the thinnest smartphone ever, a thickness of just 9.3 mm that is 24% thinner from current thinner smartphones.

Second one, a new high resolution display that doubles the pixels in each direction (960 x 640) for a 4X widespread pixel count increase. Apple calls it a "Retina Display." Because it have four times as many pixels, it shows really, truly sharp text. This display is rated as 326ppi, which Apple claims is beyond the human eye's limit of distinction, which is 300ppi. It also have 800:1 incompatibility ratio which is also 4X great than the current one. And the display is similar to the iPad Ips display but with still the same old 3.5-inch size.

Third, the iPhone 4 is powered by the A4 chip which is Apple's practice built chip. What they have done separate is that they make the size of the chip small so they can make the size of the battery bigger. So now it got improved battery life with 7 hours of 3G talk, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi browsing, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music... And 300 hours of standby.

Number four, Apple iPhone 4 have an additional one new piece of hardware known as Gyroscope with a 3 axis gyro.

Apple have tied the gyro and accelerometer, compass for six axis, which is exquisite for gaming. The camera has been bumped to 5 megapixels, with 5X digital zoom and a "backside illuminated sensor," which now can also description Hd video at 720p / 30fps. Plus many more features like tap to focus video, build-in video editing, one click sharing and Led flash.

On the software side Apple have made a huge revising with the introduction of multi-tasking. Which is what we all apple lovers missed about it in the past. But now it's there with the best of all multi-tasking features ready for any smartphone in the market. Other software improvements are included like Apps Folder, New unified mail inbox and threading, the new iMovie, and the introduction of iBooks for iPhone.

Another important highlight of this new iPhone is its introduction of developed Video calling features known as "Face Time". It's a video calling from one iPhone 4 to an additional one everywhere there is Wi-Fi with zero setup required, can be used in both portrait and scenery mode with both front and rear camera.

The phone will be ready in white or black, retailing at 9 for the 16Gb model and 9 for 32Gb. They go on sale June 24th, and At&T will be giving some extra grace upgrade timing -- up to six months early. The 3Gs will be dropped to and the 3G will disappear completely. Pre-orders start in a week, with 5 countries at inaugurate (Us, France, Germany, Uk, Japan), with 18 more following in July. Apple will also be selling a first party case for , and a dock for the same price.

So with this, I think there's lots of extra things about the new Apple's iPhone 4.
