Apple Unveils iPhone 4 At WWDC 2010
Apple fans were sleepless from waiting for iPhone 4 updates at WWDC 2010 in San Francisco. Considering all the leaks around the internet, Steve Jobs still impressed the audience with new fanciful features for iPhone 4. As he said: “I’m sure some of you have seen it but you’ll need to see it to SEE it”.
The iPhone 4 design (glass lining and stainless steel) is similar to the prototype that got Gizmodo into trouble with the police. IPhone 4 is 24% slimmer compared to the “bulky” 3GS. In fact, at 9.3mm, the iPhone 4 is the world’s thinnest smartphone.
Besides physical improvements, iPhone 4 has a Retina display whereby Apple squeezed four times the pixel density into a 3.5 inch, 960 x 640 screen at 326 Pixels Per Inch (PPI). There is also a 800:1 contrast ratio and IPS technology for better colour and wide angle viewing. Consumers will definitely get clearer pictures and smoother fonts compared to 3GS.
Another nifty feature in iPhone 4 is the 5 Megapixel camera with a LED flash, 5x digital zoom and tap autofocus. That means we can capture sharper pictures in low light environment from the iPhone 4. Apple has also solved a constant gripe by adding the ability to record 720p HD video at 30fps. Coupled with the new iMovie, the iPhone 4 is almost a wet dream for amateur video makers.
The iPhone 4 also has a front facing camera. With a feature called “FaceTime,” you will be able to make video calls! However, you must be on WiFi and it only supports iPhone 4 to iPhone 4.
There has been no news of the pricing but iPhone 4 will come in white or black and 16Gb and 32Gb models.
Will you guys be getting the iPhone 4? If you have a 3GS, I think upgrading may be too costly (unless you are a real gadget fanatic) but if you are stuck with a first generation iPhone, then it is time to join the queue.

Seriously, I don’t really know why people go gaga over the iPhone when there’s a lot of other devices in the market that have had functionalities that Apple hasn’t offered until now (i.e. multi-tasking). I guess the crowd prefers being “in” on the hype.
