The new Apple iPhone 4 has been unveiled by Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. The phone is available in black or whie cases and will contain a gyroscope in addition to the digital compass and accelerometer allowing for waves or “gestures” with the device to control it. The iPhone 4 has 2 cameras, one front facing for video chat (FaceTime – to those in the know) and the other for still photography and HD video (720p, 30fps). The screen resolution has also jumped up to 960 x 640.
A new version of the iPhone OS, now re-badged iOS4 was also demonstrated. The key feature is the addition of multitasking to the iPhone and iPad. The Apple iPhone 4 goes on sale in the UK on 24 June 2010.
