iPhone 4

Categories: Consumer Electronics | Apple | iPhone

  • The iPhone 4 is the fourth generation Internet and multimedia-enabled smartphone from Apple. Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone 4 during the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference Keynote Address 2010.


    The new smart phone is available in black or white and in two models. The 16GB model sells for $199 and the 32GB model sells for $299 with a two year AT&T contract in the US. The iPhone 3GS will continue to be sold with iOS 4 but only 8GB for $99 via AT&T - not quite a free cell phone. Many still refer to the iPhone 4 as the iPhone 4G.


    Full details and specifications are available below via the infographic or more detailed iPhone 4 Features section. Several videos are found below showcasing the new iPhone 4 features. There is also a comparison of the iPhone 4 and Android smartphones.
