Today, June 7, 2010, Steve Jobs demoed the new iPhone 4 at WWDC 2010 in SanFrancisco. iPhone 4 comes out on June 24th

Here are some pieces of information we have been given about the new device:

iPhone 4
24% thinner than current iPhone 3GS
Mute button looks more reliable (mine always changes in my pocket)
Front Facing camera
Two mics
New Design (the one that was leaked)
Metal band around the phone is 2 antennas: Bluetooth, Wifi, GPS — UMTS / GSM
Pixel density increased, now a 960×640 display (existing applications already take advantage of this) — called Retina Display
An outward facing LED flash
326 dpi screen (better than the human eye can see)
802.11n Support
Gyroscope (this is a HUGE deal)
720p at 30fps video recording
5 Mega Pixel camera upgrade (and some other fancy ways that makes their camera better than everyone elses … of course)
Extended battery life: 7 hours 3G talk, 6 hrs 3G data, 12.5 days of standby time
Upgraded video editing — looks almost like a mini Final Cut — quite the large functionality set for a mobile device
iMovie for the iPhone will cost $4.99 at the App Store (uh oh, charging for their own functionality)
iPhone OS 4 (of course)
Video Chat! – over WiFi only, called FaceTime
