The New iPhone is finally here… wait are you serious?
Ok, so we’ve been waiting for this thing what?… ’bout six months? and what do we get? Half the things we were expecting. I think apple already has a newer version with a front facing camera for video conferencing and iChat and a better photo/video capable camera of 5 megapixels. But they just need to get rid of this huge batch of iPhones they had already made, so this will be the 2.5G iPhone instead of the 3G
I can assure you that we will have a new version of the iPhone 3G in about 9 months with all this things I already mentioned. Ok, so now let’s see what this version of the iPhone does have:
The newly announced 8GB iPhone 3G will be selling for just $199, with the larger 16GB model selling for $299. Steve Jobs also announced a new color, white, which will be available only for the 16GB model.
The iPhone 3G will be including many of the features that we have been asking for, notably included is assisted-GPS, full support for third party applications, Exchange Support and an improved battery life. The new battery will offer users up to 10 hours of 2G talk time, 5 hours of 3G talk time, 300 hours on standby, 24 hours of audio playback and 7 hours of video playback.
Other improvements and additions to the iPhone 3G will be improved audio quality, a flush headphone jack as well as solid metal buttons. Aside from the white backing on the 16GB model, both models will be sporting a sleeker overall look being thinner at the edges. The backside, both on the white and black models will be full plastic, which is claiming to offer improved reception.
Also, which comes as a given based on the new iPhone 3G name will be the included support for 3G, which is reported to be 3.6 times faster than the current EDGE network. Steve Jobs also proudly claimed that the pageloads are 36% faster than the Treo 750 and Nokia N95.
