Yes, once again the rest of the tech world welcomes Apple to the “Revolution”. On Monday June 7, 2010, Steve Jobs announced the latest and upgraded invention of the iPhone. He stated that it is one of the most creative things that Apple has ever invented. It offers over 100 new features and has stainless steel casing being described as the thinnest Smartphone on the planet and almost 25 percent thinner than the iPhone 3GS. It contains volume controls on the side of the phone with a front facing camera. The back of the phone consists of a microphone and a 30pin connector for docking, as well as a speaker, sleep/wake button and a headset input. What they did is basically took the already made iPhone and combined it with the iPad design and made it the size of an iPhone. Yet they made some pretty awesome tools to go along with it.
I think the awesome screen, better camera + flash; 900MHz and 802.11n support, new design, 720p video recording, A4 CPU and improved battery capabilities make it worth it. I am curious to see what its capabilities are when it comes to gaming, particularly with the gyroscope adding “Six axis” control. Not sure how I feel about the front camera. It’s not exactly revolutionary when you consider three were doing it 5 years ago but considering how awful the video quality was, not to mention the price a *good* quality front camera over Wifi (for now) with H.264 might be more important/a bigger selling point than some critics realize, particularly in the US which has never really had video calling, and particularly if other apps can take advantage of it. Furthermore, it was interesting to find out that Microsoft’s Bing will also be utilized as a default search engine. Google will still remain the iPhone’s default search next to Yahoo and Bing which will be available options too. Also since the iPad is running on the “iPhone OS” Apple renamed its mobile device operation system to “iOS4”, surrounding all of its mobile devices: the iPhone, the iPad, and the iPad touch.
Apple has built a very marketable reputation for itself. It’s established itself as the ‘premium’ gadget vendor. What they do, they do well. What they are late to the party with cannot be ignored, but what they do implement is implemented well. Their products have the “I want” factor; somehow make something of great desire.
