The iPhone 4 and iOS4 got announced on June 7th, 2010. It’s pretty close (read as “same”) to the leaked iPhone prototype that Gizmodo “found in a bar”.

As Steve Jobs said in the keynote, this is the “biggest leap since the original iPhone”. It indeed is, read further to know why

The core features of this iPhone 4 are

• Retina Display brings 4times more pixels – Sending the resolution of the iPhone to 960×640.
• IPS Display – Better Wide-Angle viewing (like the iPad)
• Contrast Ratio of 800:1 which is 4 times better than iPhone 3G(S)
• HD Video recording – Records videos at 720p (it’s HD)
• Frontal camera for Video chat – We’ve had this for ages, but without proper network support. Finally we have it. FaceTime any one?
• New Apple A4 processor – Developed by Apple’s own team. Supposedly manages power better.
• Better battery life – More calls, more surfing. Yay!
• Gyro + Accelerometer – 6 Axis motion detection – Awesome games to come up using this.
• 5MP Camera with LED Flash and 5x Digital Zoom
• 802.11n – Yes WiFi ‘n’ ready.
• Dual Mike for Noise cancellation – Yes, now you don’t have to push your phone into your ear and talk less louder.. will ya.
• New Stainless steel body to make it studier in case of accidental fall.
• 24% thinner than iPhone 3GS – Surely gonna fit well in my pocket.
• New glass material used in aircrafts and high speed trains which is 12 times harder than plastic. I am sure there’ll be a group of users who’ll still manage to break it.

The iOS4.0 as earlier announced provides

• The OS can now support Multi tasking applications. So you can now listen to music, surf the web and tweet at the same time.. Aah paradise.
• Has Video chat as earlier discovered by curious developers for the folks who wish to get “closer”.
• Unified Inbox – Much awaited, helps manage multiple email boxes (I’ve got 5) and threaded conversations to make life easier.
• iBooks – For the book worms in iPhone users
• Folders – so that you can manage/group/categorize your apps together.
• Home screen wallpaper
• Tap to focus in Video
• Spell checker

And tens of other features (100 new features).

The new iPhone is to be released in 5 countries on June 24th (pre orders starting from June 15th 2010) at a price tag of 199$ for the 16GB iPhone and 299$ for 32GB iPhone. You can bid the 2 year old iPhone 3G good bye like how iPhone 2G was killed off with the release of iPhone 3G(S).
