iPhone 4 is coming on June24, 2010

The iPhone 4 will be available in either white or black, starting June 24. The 16GB version will retail for $199, and the 32GB version for $299, with a two-year contract through AT&T.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs launched their new product iPHONE 4 June 7 at the company’s 2010 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Francisco to reveal the much-expected next-generation iPhone. Lots of new feature with the new iPhone 4, including a larger battery and A4 processor, corresponded with those of prototype devices leaked over the past few months, Jobs also rolled out some as-yet-unrevealed creations, including FaceTime, which lets users make video calls via WiFi.
The device represents Apple’s hopes of staying ahead in the consumer smartphone market, where it finds itself challenged by not only traditional competitors such as RIM’s BlackBerry franchise, but also the rapidly growing family of Google Android devices.
Jobs revealed a new feature called FaceTime, which lets users make video calls via WiFi. While using FaceTime, the screen can be tilted into landscape mode, to better frame a pair of people at one end of a particular call; Jobs suggested that Apple was in talks with carriers about offering a 3G-enabled version.
The iPhone 4’s operating system, previously dubbed “iPhone OS 4,” received a name change: iOS4, with 1500 new APIs and user features such as multitasking. The platform’s other notable element, “iAd,” will allow developers to deliver mobile advertisements within apps themselves.
Camera is upgraded to 5 megapixels, with 5x digital zoom and the aforementioned "illuminated sensor" (don't call it a flash -- Apple hates Flash). Also records video in HD resolution (720p at 30 fps). Flip cameras are in trouble.
960 x 640 pixels of resolution on the 3.5-inch display. That's unheard of on a cell phone and actually approaches what most smaller laptops have. 78% of the pixels that the iPad has.
The display is going to knock you out of your New Balances. With 326 pixels per inch, it has a better display than the human eye can even process (300 ppi, per Jobs). It's called a "retina display." Will have to have some hands on time to see exactly how much better it looks -- and the existing iPhone screen looks pretty good as it is.

Pricing: $299 for 32GB, $199 for 16GB, with two-year contract. Black or white. Same as 3GS. Existing iPhone owners can upgrade up to six months early. On sale June 24. iPhone 3GS will also hang around: 8GB for $99.
