According to US tech site DigiTimes, the 4th Generation (4G) iPhone will start shipping in June of this year. 24 million units are being shipped – 4.5 million in the first batch and then 19.5 million units for the rest of 2010. The new iPhone will be revealed on June 7 at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference.
The new iPhone will adopt IPS (in-plane switching) panels with FFS (fringe-field switching) technology and a 960×640 resolution. In other words it will give the phone better viewing angles and much better resolution. The ebook reader feature will be better, even under sunlight.
Most importantly for those iPhone users who already suffer from poor power and battery life, the 4G phone will run a 512MB memory module from Samsung Electronics, doubling the memory capacity seen in the iPhone 3GS. The new phone’s screen will be 33% thinner which gives the iPhone the extra space needed to fit a larger battery (19% larger) than the one shown in the leaked pictures. The video above further speculates on Apple’s plans for the iPhone launch. It’s almost an industry in itself – second guessing Apple.
