Update: See Globe iPhone 4 Price here. Read the full iPhone 4 Review here or check out the iPhone 4 Release Coverage.
So Apple finally announced its new model of the iPhone and it’s not the iPhone 4G or the iPhone HD that’s been doing the rounds on the net. Steve calls it the iPhone 4.
And though we’ve already had first glimpse of this phone back when Gizmodo featured that lost prototype they bought for $5,000, it still draws a lot of amazement from the crowd.
Apple added features that are practically common to most other smartphones like the front-facing camera and LED flash but these are not the highlights yet.
The iPhone 4 is thinner (claims to be the thinnest smartphone ever, 24% thinner than the 3GS) at just 9.3mm (the Nokia E71 is 10mm thin). Next, they made the resolution higher at 326 pixels per inch (that’s 4 times than the previous model).
The iPhone 4 specs:
Apple 1GHz A4 chip
3.5″ display @ 960×640 pixels
HSDPA 7.2Mbps
WiFi 802.11n
GPS
Gyroscope
5MP camera with LED flash + HD video recording @ 720p 30fps
2nd front-facing camera
2 mics w/ noise-canceling
Bluetooth 2.1 w/ EDR
iOS 4
The iPhone 4 has better battery life as well — 40 hours of music, 10 hours of video, 6 hours of 3G browsing and 10 hours on WiFi browsing.
Apple is also putting iPhone OS 4 in it but renames it as iOS 4.
The iPhone 4 comes in two colors — white and black and two models, 16GB and 32GB. As for the price:
iPhone 4 16GB: $199 + 24-month contract
iPhone 4 32GB: $299 + 24-month contract
As for availability:
June 24 – US, Japan, France, Germany and UK
July 2010 – 18 more countries (hopefully, including the Philippines)
September 2010 – 88 countries
Globe Telecom already has their micro-SIM card ready so all we need is to wait how much it will retail when the iPhone 4 arrives in the Philippines.
If you’re wondering what the price of the upcoming iPhone 4 with Globe in the Philippines, read my post here.
It could be 16GB iPhone 4 FREE at Plan 5000 when it hits Globe.
Most likely won’t launch in the Philippines in July. We aren’t included in the list of 18 countries.

Betting the 32gb model won’t be sold close to P13,800 over here. Also it took Apple multiple revisions to implement those feature standard to Smartphones. In addition for those who will be using this for web browsing, the lack of flash support will not look good.
@IC DeaDPiPoL — I think it will be FREE on Plan 7000.
@pinoypi
running symbian? No thanks.
It has no match to the upcoming Nokia N8’s specs. I already checked its comparison with HTC Evo 4G, HTC HD2 and Palm Pixi, but N8 reigns!
@fr0stbyte and blitzkrieg
isn’t that what fanboyism is all about? :D
When will it get here?
Fanboys will be fanboys. While it’s true that Apple is introducing “new” features in the iPhone already found on other smartphones for years, I have to say that the touchscreen of the iPod Touch/iPhone is the best I’ve ever used. I’ve never liked Macs and I don’t see me getting on anytime soon, but I think Apple’s designs are always something to behold.
I’ve always held back on purchasing an iPhone because of their lame lack of features that are regularly found in other phones, but I think I’m getting this one. The only thing holding me back now is the price.
Apple fan boys. They rave like silly little boys holding their overpriced toys acting up like something’s up their butt. My post cowers in fear of deletion. :O
Let the FANBOYISM begin. It’s so funny people consider the iPhone the most amazing and the best of the best in the smartphone category, wherein all the features introduced in the iPhone 4 have been around for quite some time in other devices. Then again, it’s your personal preference (I hope, and not blind allegiance). Hence, I respect that.
Video calling did not click here. It’s not going to click once the iPhone 4 arrives to our shores. It’s nothing but hype.
Hi,
I’m planning to purchase the SE X10. (for my bday w/c is in July. hehehehe)
I read your review and it looks like the X10 has not met your expectations of an android phone. i want to know what the release date of the Iphone 4G is here and the estimated price. (i bet it’s a bit expensive considering Globe is slashing off 3G price)
i hope it does come out in July d2 sa pinas so i can check your review. and hopefully decide what to buy. or, i hope i can wait that long. ; )
I want one….
My 3GS is jealous :| :))
wow… sir yuga.. beat me to it again.. :(
Anyhow.. nothing spectacular about the new iphone except that it’s from Apple. Hopefully… they’ll be more surprise as the WWDC continues.

I hope the video calling feature will be supported by Globe’s 3G network at launch locally. Steve Jobs said that it’s only available over wi-fi for now
@want new phone
just curious, will you be considering the 5″ dell streak?
I don’t know about this. There’s absolutely nothing new on the iPhone 4 that’s already not in the other android smart-phones that released earlier. (except the gyroscope) LOL
Longer battery life (iPhone 4 has a larger battery)
gyroscope (for gaming)
better screen reso (retina display what?)
I would still pick the Evo 4G or Incredible any day.
but they’re not yet available here so. I’ll wait.
I think the question on every avid reader’s mind is that will abe upgrade to the iPhone 4 or get one of the new Android high-end phones?
WOW! I’ve been waiting for this to come out. I can’t wait to know when it’ll be available here it the Phils. as well as the price.
Post updates from Globe please. :D
I will wait it to arrived here in the Philippines via Globe. All i can say is i will having an awesome f*king upgrade in my iPhone 3G.
iPhone 4 is GOD of all Smart phones.
