The new iPhone is here! There wasn’t talk of much else (ie: Apple TV) and there weren’t a ton of surprises during the big Apple unveiling at yesterday’s Worldwide Developers Conference, but that hasn’t stopped me from salivating and counting the days until I can get my grubby little paws on the 4G. This is the stuff people dreamed about during Dick Tracey days — the stuff, in fact, that Steve Jobs says he’s dreamed about for decades (referring, specifically, to the phone-to-phone video chat function). It’s faster and sleeker, has longer talk-time, higher resolution, on-board video editing capabilities and a fancy gyroscope that will pick up on every tilt and shake to take gaming to a whole new level.
It even boasts two camera angles: one for traditional photo taking and one on the other side for narcissistic Facebook self-portraits. Photobooth, Polarize and Hipstamatic sold separately.
The iPhone4 goes on sale June 25; preorders start on the 14. Visit apple.com for more details.
