iPhone 4G first leak, Gizmodo Exclusive

Posted on by

While Apple may tinker with the final packaging and design of the final phone, it’s clear that the features in this lost-and-found next-generation iPhone are drastically new and drastically different from what came before. Here’s the detailed list of our findings:

What’s new
• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It’s unclear if it’s the 960×640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the “Connect to iTunes” screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What’s changed
• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery

What do we think of the iPad

So the iPad is soon here for us to enjoy. But what do we think about it? It’s truly an amazing product, it has the Apple level of detail and finish from what we can see from the photos and videos that already floats on the internet. Do we think that it’s going the change the way we communicate via computers, social networks and how we surf the web… FUCK YEAH!

You might think we are just a bunch of FAN Boys that just want to write nicely about the iPad… We are not. We love Apple but they to can make products of lower level of use… Like the Apple TV. Ofcourse we got one, but we never use it. How is the iPad different from the Apple TV? In many ways its similar, looks like a giant iPod Touch… Just like the Apple TV looks like a Mac Mini with eating disorders.

But there the similarities ends, the iPad is just great, it’s NOT a computer and it’s not a iPhone… It’s a pad. We are going to have them in our kitchens, in our living rooms, our kids will use them, play on them, communicate with friends on them, they will multitask… They will let you sit in the sofa and read a magazine or book, and you will discover a new world, where magazines not only contains one image, they will have many, they will be able to play movies, they will be dynamic, sweet looking and the way of the future.

Our view on the iPad can not be written down in words on a blog, they must be done into an eBook that will sell on the iBook store… Yes a virtual book store, so now apple will change the way we read, libraries are old, but the iBook store is new and funky fresh. Together with the iTunes U store this product will also revolutionize the way schools work. It’s highly portable and has a whopping 10 hour battery life and 30 days standby… It’s just beautiful.

Jonathan Ive and Steve Jobs together with all of the wonderful staff at Apple inc has done it again, mark our words, this device will change our way of life.
