Apple Iphone 4 is official

Today at Apple's developer conference was officially presented to iPhone 4.
As part of the Worldwide Developers Conference WWDC 2010 Apple introduced the "iPhone" fourth generation - one year after the announcement of a model iPhone 3Gs.





- IPhone 4 is Smarter, Better, Faster, - said Steve from the scene and he was right. The appearance of new items did not syupriz for us - it is exactly the same as the previously leaked prototypes.
Contrary to widespread rumors, today the novelty was called the iPhone 4, but not iPhone 4G or iPhone HD. However, the abbreviation HD («high definition") is not consistent with the new smartphone Apple.



Judge for yourself: it is equipped with 3, 5-inch touch screen-based IPS-matrix technology to support "multitouch" oleophobic coating, contrast ratio of 800: 1 and a resolution 640h960 pixels (326 dpi). Previously, such panels have not been applied in any mobile phone or smartphone. Apple calls this screen Retina, noting that the human eye is simply unable to distinguish individual pixels when the smartphone is in the "normal distance from the user's face." In other words, the text and images look as if they are printed on quality paper using a good printer.



Works under the new System-On-Chip Apple A4, which is installed on the Apple iPad. iPhone 4 can show off a powerful ARM-Cortex A8 processor architecture and 1 GHz, Power SGX video accelerator and 256 MB of RAM, WiFi 802.11n, as well as an excellent 3.5 & quot; display, made by technology Retina Display, which is capable of displaying 326 pixels per inch. This is more than the human eye can recognize!



And yet the new "iPhone" allows you to make video calls: on its front panel is a camera with 0, 3-megapixel. There is a bad moment: video telephony, implemented using the application FaceTime, is possible only on Wi-Fi-connection, however Apple «is working closely with operators to ensure that such an option in a cellular network."



iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel camera with LED-flash (with the ability to record HD-video 720p (1280x720 pixels, 30 frames per second)), a front camera and a slot microSIM. Why microSIM? Steve simply replied «We needed the space!». The iPhone 4 has a function of noise reduction through the use of two microphones. Apparently experience Nexus One was useful.



Front end iPhone 4 is made of the mineral glass, and the rear part - a ceramic material which does not interfere with the passage of radio waves. The side frame is made of steel.
The width of the smartphone is 58, 6 mm, length - 115, 2 mm, weight - 137 g



iPhone 4 supports networks GSM / GPRS / EDGE 850/900/1800/1900 MHz and UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA 850/900/1900/2100 MHz. There Controller Wi-Fi (IEEE 802.11b / g / n), Bluetooth adapter version 2.1 + EDR and receiver satellite navigation system GPS and a digital compass. Accelerometer and gyroscope provides the ability to manage the device, moving it in six directions (true for games). There is a machine, and two more sensors: proximity and illumination. Incidentally, the conventional SIM card will not insert a novelty: it provides a slot for cards of the new format microSIM (hello, iPad!).



It looks like the built-in accelerometer Apple had little of this in the new iPhone 4 has a gyroscope, which, together with the compass allows you to control up to 6 directions of movement
Although the iPhone 4 much thinner iPhone 3Gs (9, 3 to 12 mm, 3 mm), Apple applied in the new model is significantly more powerful battery.



It allows the smartphone to work up to 7 hours of talk time on 3G-network conditions, up to 14 hours - in a 2G-network up to 300 hours standby time, up to 10 hours of data on Wi-Fi connection and up to 6 - - for 3G-connection. In addition, the new product can be up to 40 hours playing music; time for video playback - 10 hours.



The model will be available in black and white. If desired, the happy owner of the device will be able to buy the blue, pink, orange, green, white or black, "edging", which is installed on top of the above framework. This accessory is called Bumper.



Capacity integrated in the iPhone 4 flash drive may be 16 or 32 GB. 64-gigabyte version, alas, is not provided. The iPhone 4 is based GHz processor Apple A4 - the same as in the Tablet PC iPad. Managed by the novelty of the operating system of iPhone OS 4, which was somehow renamed iOS 4.



And the main thing. iPhone 4 will go on sale June 24 in five countries: USA, UK, France, Germany and Japan. The cost of low-end model will be $ 199, senior - $ 299. Collection of pre-orders will start the 15th of this month. 8-gigabyte version of the iPhone 3Gs will now cost just $ 99. Of course, these prices are relevant only if the contract with the operator. When the iPhone 4 officially appear in Russia - is unknown.
