Jan Zdarsa Although Apple did not present the new iPhone 4 yesterday as expected, the new iPhone OS 4 probably reveals a lot about this device.
Earlier, iPhone OS 3.2 for iPad revealed that Apple was working on video conference calls in iChat as well as support for the front-facing camera. While the iPad ultimately doesn't have these features, it seems more and more likely that they apply to the new generation iPhone.
Earlier, John Gruber wrote on his blog that the new iPhone will be based on the A4 chip known from the iPad, the screen will have a resolution of 960×640 pixels (double the current resolution), the second camera on the front should not be missing, and 3rd party applications should be multitasking enabled. We can tick off the last feature, because since yesterday we know that multitasking is part of iPhone OS 4. In the new iPhone OS 4, there is also evidence of an iChat client (for possible video calls).
Apple usually follows the release cycles of new Apple products, so we can expect that the new iPhone HD should be introduced in June this year. Engadget wrote that the new iPhone should be called the iPhone HD and could be released on June 22.
I'm starting to save… :D
Well, great, I'm saving for an iPad, and now for an HD... where should I get the money? :D
I'm not a user of any Apple product yet, but I like the iPhone HD. I originally wanted to buy a 3GS but now I'll wait. I just wonder how much the price of an unsubsidized phone will go :(
The price will probably not change, it will probably be the same as the 3GS
a model that should perhaps be a little cheaper...

I think that the price will go up... (in our country) when 3G was sold, the unsubsidized price was not 16 kc for the 20GB version... while the price in the US was the same...
The price went up because of buyers from abroad (we have unblocked phones here). But now the price is already quite high and I don't expect it to rise any further..
we'll see.. in any case, I'm already thinking about it, because it's time to replace the first generation with a new one when they stopped developing the OS for it :)
engadget: we were informed that the next-generation iPhone would be announced on June 22nd. This means that on June 22nd it will be introduced, not released. I would expect a release sometime in August…
The difference between the presentation and the release of the iPhone 3GS was about 10 days, so the release
I would still expect in June. New iPads are coming out in August/Spring, so it's not
realistically for the products to be released so close together. Red is simply the season
iPhone :)
