Apple unveils the iPhone 4




Silicon Valley's worst kept secret has just been unveiled. Suprise everyone!

It's the iPhone 4!

If you keep up with tech news, it's exactly the same as the prototype Gizmodo got their hands on a few months ago. The only thing missing were the fine details and the marketing monikers. Of the 100+ new features, the ones note worthy include:
  • FaceTime - real-time video chat
  • Retina Display - 960-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi
  • Multi-tasking
  • HD Video Recording and Editing
  • 5-MP Camera with LED Flash
  • Folders for Apps
All that aside, the killer app on the 4th iteration of this revolutionary product, really is FaceTime. The face-fronting camera on the prototype had already alluded to this feature. Though Apple can't claim to be the first one to implement this (Qik already exists), they will probably be the first to market it to the masses.

It will, however, only work on Wi-Fi for now. In the meantime, Apple has stated it is working diligently with the wireless carriers to deliver the feature on their 3G/4G networks.
