It might be new to you no more, Apple officially announced their so-called ‘biggest leap to iPhone since … iPhone’, the new iPhone 4 ![]()


The new iPhone is just 9.33mm thick – 24% thinner than the current iPhone 3GS. It will have aluminosilicate glass front and back (which was chemically strengthened to be 20 times stiffer and 30 times harder than plastic) with a stainless steel band that wraps around all sides. This band is used as part of the antenna system for the GSM, UMTS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth radios.

The new gorgeous display has 960×640 backlit LCD boasts a pixel density of 326 pixels per inch (4 times higher than iPhone 3GS), 800:1 contrast ratio, making it the highest-resolution phone screen ever! It’s called Retina Display ^^

In its heart, the new iPhone employs Apple’s own A4 chip and a larger battery that will offer 40% more talk time than the previous model. It will also be capable of HSDPA/HSUPA speeds of 7.2Mbps down and 5.8Mbs up. Storage-wise, it come with 16GB or 32GB, and remains at same prices ![]()

Other new additions include 802.11n Wi-Fi, a Gyroscope to detect motion on 6 axes (improved from current 3 axes), as well as an LED flash to supplement the new 5-megapixel auto-focus lens. The updated camera will have 5x digital zoom and will record 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. Videos captured can be edited directly on the device using the new iMovie for iPhone. Now you can take photo or video in night time with iPhone 

The new iPhone 4 will also have a secondary microphone on the top for noise cancellation, as well as a front-facing camera for video calls. It will also use the smaller micro SIM, making use of the micro SIM standard like the iPad.
