Specs on the Apple iPhone |
Apple added some iPhone pages to their website today after Steve Jobs’ keynote speech was completed. Now that the dust has settled a little bit, here are some additional detailed specs to go along with the iPhone release information we posted earlier today.
The new Apple iPhone has a 3.5 inch Multi-touch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 at 160 ppi. The Multi-touch screen works by finger touch, not a stylus and can track multiple fingers moving on and across the screen to perform tasks such as resizing an image. It has a 2.0 megapixel built-in camera and a battery that allows 5 hours of talking, watching videos or browsing the web, and up to 16 hours of listening to music.
The service will be provided by Cingular with Quad-Band (850, 900, 1800, 1900) GSM, EDGE, Bluetooth and WiFi. (No 3G listed in the stats). The actual dimensions of the iPhone are 115 x 61 x 11.6mm, which makes it just slightly thicker than the iPod (thicker than the Nano) and roughly the same dimensions as Cingular’s 8525 for height and width, and weighs 136 grams.
Apple says they will start shipping the iPhone in June of this year after they receive FCC approval, and prices are expected to be $499 for the 4GB model, and $599 for the 8GB.

I don’t think apple understands that the market for phones these days. The mp3 market isnt near as competative, with new smart phones poping up every minute eg new Nokia N95 will be released with 5mp camera, is smaller and has many more specs than this phone, apple how do you expect consumers to fit this in their pocket. And realease date, next year in australia…. nokia putting out better phones Q1 2007? imagine Q1 2008…..waste of money and time apple.
I think it looks like a money machine. It looks like the coolest phone I’ve ever seen.
to unknown: I don’t understand your pocket comment. The iphone is smaller than Treo and other smartphones that apple is trying to compete with.
Man that thing looks awesome. To build it costs so much and you have to switch to Cingular.
A closed system ? That really bothers me. The only applications to install on that phone will be apple’s own. What about all the cool J2ME games and applications out there. In my opinion they have underestimated the maturity of the cell phone market. Touch screen phones have been around for a while now - I haven’t seen a good device with a touch screen yet - it’s much better to feel the keys with your fingers. I like my blackberry query keyboard
I guess you have to give Steve Jobs the benifit of the doubt - but I have my reservations - this is risky business - it’s not just about looking cool. I like the WiFi option - a good sign - maybe those greedy telcos will realise they can’t hog the networks forver. Perhaps the best thing that will come out of the iPhone is that more phones with WiFi will start popping up.
It’s a phone for Apple geeks and sycophants who desperately feel the need to have the latest Apple “gadget ” in order to be cool.
The rest of use will shrug and say - it’s just a phone - there will be hundreds of simialr featured phones out there - and at better prices too.
(and it can’t be called iPhone either).
too sexy to handle…but i was expecting it with a 3G version.I heard of one of the models that is yet to be launched,with 3G,windows mobile 5.7,multi functional touchscreen,7 MP camera with some 3x optical zoom,ipod,radio,mp3 player,anti virus n some other smart features to make the apple iphone a really smart phone.I must say,they have really done great job with the size,its handy,convinient,smart,sexy n last but not the least very slim.Neways its just a start,i wish them a good luck…may their phone gets a great success…rather a big hit…
Wish you GOOD LUCK.
