"iPhone 4 is the biggest leap since the original iPhone," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "FaceTime video calling sets a new standard for mobile communication, and our new Retina display is the highest resolution display ever in a phone, with text looking like it does on a fine printed page. We have been dreaming about both of these breakthroughs for decades."
The much-anticipated feature FaceTime allows video conferencing from iPhone to iPhone over a wi-fi network.
The iPhone 4 features a 5-megapixel camera with LED flash, HD video recording, a faster processor, a 3-axis gyro, and up to 40 percent longer talk time, Apple claims.
The unit itself is redesigned inside and out -- the case is made of glass and stainless steel, which acts as an antenna.
The 3.5-inch display features a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels -- that's four times as many pixels as the iPhone 3GS. Many reviews say the display is incredibly bright and sharp.
The iPhone 4 comes in black or white, although Apple says that the white model won't be available until late July because of challenges in manufacture.
