This afternoon, Steve Jobs gave his long-awaited speech at the Apple World Wide Developer's Conference. It was anticipated that he would announce an all-new cheaper iPhone....and that is exactly what he did. Here is a quick look at the new iPhone 3G features.
- Faster, 3G data networking. One demo took 59 seconds on the old EDGE network, 21 seconds on the iPhone 3G, compared to 17 seconds on WiFi. Apple claims it’s 26% faster than competing models from Nokia and Treo.
- Longer battery life. 300 hours standby, 10 hours 2G talk, 5 hours 3G talk, 5-6 hours browsing, 7 hours video, 24 hours audio.
- Better audio. No details were available on this.
- Integrated GPS, including live GPS tracking.
The iPhone will be available July 11th in 22 countries. The 8GB model will be $199 (black only), and the 16GB model will be $299 (black or white), with a new 2-year rate plan (sold separately).
