for 2010 we're going to take the biggest leap since the original iPhone we're introducing iPhone 4 this is really hot and there are there are well over a hundred new features and we don't have time to cover all of them today so I get to cover eight of them with you eight new features of the iPhone 4 the first one an all-new design now stop me if you've already seen this believe me you ain't seeing it you've got to see this thing in person it is one of the most beautiful designs you've ever seen this is beyond the doubt the most precise thing one of the most beautiful things we've ever made glass on the front and the rear and stainless steel running around and the precision of which this is made is is beyond any consumer product we've ever seen its closest kin is like a beautiful old Leica camera it's unheard of in consumer products today just gorgeous and it's really thin this is the new iPhone 4 it is just 9.3 millimeters thick that is 24% thinner than the iPhone GS again a quarter thinner in something you didn't think could get any thinner as a matter of fact it is the thinnest smartphone on the planet let me point out a few things a few of the external things on it here are the volume controls volume up volume down and mute on the front we have a front-facing camera we have the receiver we have a home button people have asked what's this some have even said this doesn't seem like Apple what are these lines in this beautiful stainless steel band well it turns out there's not just one of them there's three of them and they are part of the entire structure of this phone that stainless steel band that runs around is the primary structural element of the phone and there are these three slits in it it turns out this is part of some brilliant engineering which actually uses the stainless steel band as part of the antenna system and so yes and the other is UMTS and GSM so it's got these integrated antennas right in the structure of the phone it's never been done before three and a half inches the same size as the iPhone 3GS yet with 960 by 640 pixels that's four times more pixels than the iPhone gia iPhone 3GS 326 pixels per inch an 800 to 1 contrast ratio which is again four times better than the 3GS we're using IPS technology this is a very advanced LCD technology which is quite a bit in our opinion quite a bit better than the OLED technology for these types of products and provides much more accurate color and much higher resolution you can't make an OLED display with this type of resolution right now and so we think the IPS technology is really quite superior and it results in incredibly sharp text images and video you
