Apple CEO Steve Jobs claimed the iPhone 4 has over a 100 new features during its unveiling at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco on June 7.
He restricted himself to covering just eight important new features because of the paucity of time.
Well, here are the iPhone capabilities that impressed us most.
Its sleek design comprising two glass faces held together by a 9.3 mm steel band that, as Steve Jobs put it, makes the smartphone the thinnest on the planet, 24% thinner than the iPhone GS
The steel bands running around the device not only provide it structural strength but dovetail as antennas - One for Blue Tooth, Wi-Fi and GPS; and the other for UMTS, GSM
A 5 megapixel camera with LED flash that doubles as a spotlight, letting you shoot stills and 720p HD video at 30 frames per second. You can edit the video using an iMovie port available as a $4.99 download from App Store.
A 3.5-inch, 960×640 pixel "retina display" screen with a 326 pixels per inch resolution that is twice that of the current iPhone.
Support for quad-band HSPA (Peak data transfer speeds of 7.2 Mbps down and 5.8 Mbps up)
A front-facing camera that currently works with FaceTime, an application that lets you video conference with other iPhones using Wi-Fi only.
iPhone 4 will be available in the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan on June 24. In the US it will sell at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.
