The next
generation iPhone, also
known as iPhone 4G, has been leaked and many of its features and specs
have been revealed. The battery life is reported to increase by 16%, and
there are also some design improvements. Below is a tabular comparing
iPhone 4G with its predecessor. As the phone is not released officially
so there is no certain word on remaining hardware specs. I
will update the comparison when the phone gets official.
The screen size of iPhone 4G appears to
be slightly smaller than iPhone 3GS but has more
resolution. Moreover, Apple has
completely changed the design of the device; instead of curved design
having plastic casing the new iPhone
has flat back and aluminum strip on
sides. All the buttons like volume, power and mute are metallic.
