The new IPS screen has four times the amount of pixels compared to the original iPhone, with pixel density being 326 pixels per inch with a screen resolution of 960×640 and 800:1 contrast ratio. This results in a much sharper text. The phone is powered by the A4 CPU just like the iPad, and has an improved battery time with 7 hours talk time, 6 hours of 3G browsing, 10 hours of WiFi, 10 hours of video, 40 hours of music, and 300 hours of standby. There will be up to 32GB of storage, a gyroscope for up to 6 axis of motion sensing, along with 802.11n network adapter.

The camera on the back is 5 megapixels with 5x digital zoom and auto focus. The camera also records 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. You can keep the LED flash on while recording, and share it with just a few easy steps. Additionally there will also be a version of iMovie for the iPhone. The front facing camera enables video calling.

The operating system has been renamed to iOS 4, which will also be available for the older iPhones (3G and 3GS) and free for the iPod Touch. One of its biggest new additions is multitasking made in a way that would drain as little amount of battery power as possible while running multiple applications in the background. Other features included in the new OS are folders for sorting applications for easier access, social gaming network, ibooks, iads for in-app advertising, and more. Today, the iOS4 goes Gold master, which means that it’s close to being released to the general public.

The new iPhone will be available in white or black/ It goes on sale June 24th  (pre-orders start June 15th) from AT&T and Apple, and will be priced as follows: $199 for 16gig and $299 for 32gig. More information is available on AT&T and Apple websites.

The next iPhone is finally here! Apple has announced its third generation iPhone 3GS. The phone is available in black or white color as either 16GB or 32GB. The new version of iPhone 3.0 software will be included with the phone, adding such features as copy, paste, search across platform, MMS, horizontal keyboard layout for typing, push notification, tethering with your computer, turn by turn navigation, better language support and more. Safari with Java also gets a speed boost under OS 3.0 – up to 3x compared to the previous version. There is also a new feature called Find Me which is a service offered to MobileMe users which helps users track their lost or stolen iPhone over Google Maps. You can send a command to the phone which will cause it to emit a sound even if the phone has its sound turned off. Additionally you can send a wipe command to the phone which will erase contacts, and other personal data. In App Purchase allows you to buy content inside an App Store bought applications.

On the hardware side of things there are improvements to bluetooth and how it interacts with other software and hardware. The phone will have a faster processor and graphics, a higher resolution camera (3MP) with auto focus, 30fps video recording, voice controls, Nike+ support, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, a digital compass, increase of system RAM, encryption, better batery life (3G is 5 hours, while WiFi is 9 hours), and more. There will also be updates to iTunes which deal with parental controls, movies, tv shows, music and audio books. The pricing for the new phones is $199 for 16GB, and $299 for 32GB (both versions come in either black or white color) and it will be available on sale on June 19th. This price is available with a new two-year contract with AT&T. The current 8GB 3G will be lowered in price to $99. Official photos and information is available on Apple’s website.
