iPhone 4 was announced today during Steve Jobs’ keynote at WWDC. Apple’s iPhone 4 is the biggest upgrade yet for the handset. Highlight features include a front-facing camera, a 960-by-640 “retina display” that shows image and text more crisply, the same A4 processor that powers the iPad, and a 5-megapixel still camera that also shoots high-definition video. Software-wise the applications will automatically get high resolution text, as part of iOS 4 (which is the company;s new name for the operating system). Software developers will also be able to use a new in-built gyroscope that has a six-axis motion sensor and will, presumably, be used just for games.
Pricing
The phone will be available in white or black, retailing at $199 for the 16GB model and $299 for 32GB.
