Well, that didn’t take long at all. Steve Jobs has come out on stage at this year’s WWDC to blow the socks off everybody out there, and while he believes that the iPhone 4 is, “Beyond a doubt the most precise thing, the most beautiful thing we’ve ever made,” we’ll have to wait and see it in our hands (hopefully today) before we can make a final judgment. But, it’s announced!
External controls include volume up/down, mute, there’s a front facing camera, micro-SIM, camera with LED flash, microphone on the bottom with the 30-pin Dock Connector and speaker. On top is the headphone jack and a second microphone for noise cancellation, plus the power button. It’s 9.3mm thick – that’s 24% thinner than the iPhone 3GS and the thinnest smartphone on the planet. Glass front and back; stainless steel edging. “Closest kin is an old Leica camera.”
“This is the iPhone 4.”
And with that, we’ve got the next iteration of the iPhone family of devices. Stay tuned, as more is coming!
