Apple has unveiled its 3G iPhone at its WWDC show, during a keynote by Steve Jobs. Besides faster data speeds, it’s also got built-in GPS, will come in a choice of 8GB and 16GB models, and will go on sale on 11 July for $199 / $299 respectively.
The new model has a claimed battery life of 300 hours on standby, five hours of talktime, up to six hours of web browsing, seven hours of video, or 24 hours music playback.
Besides 3G, the other big news was built-in GPS, with a focus on mapping and navigation applications, as well as location-aware social networking. Don’t expect the batteries to last quite as long for these.
The 3G iPhone is a bit slimmer than the previous model, and apparently has better audio quality. Otherwise it looks pretty much the same, although the 16GB model will come in a choice of black OR white.
Rest assured, we’ll bring you the UK price as soon as we have it. Meanwhile, Apple also revealed when its iPhone App Store will be launching, and its plans for downloadable iPhone games. Check this story on Pocket Gamer for details on those.
