A study by mobile analytics firm Localytics reveals that Verizon has managed to capture 32% of all US iPhone 4 traffic despite its rival AT&T’s nearly eight-month head start. The study once again proves Verizon’s rapid iPhone growth since its launch in February. The study further notes that “Summer has seen significant growth in Verizon’s market share. After spending most of the spring at roughly the same share, Verizon has seen consecutive monthly jumps, grabbing 7% of the market for itself in May and June.”

The study observes that one of the reasons for Verizon’s rapid growth may be its unlimited data plan, which it is scheduled to do away with on July 7th. AT&T has already discontinued its unlimited data plan last year. With iPhone 5 launch on the cards, we have to wait to see how the heated battle between AT&T and Verizon shapes out.

The wait is finally over. After months of suspense and delay, iPhone lovers can now get their favorite device in dazzling white color. White iPhone 4 models can be ordered at Apple’s online store (www.apple.com) and Apple’s retail stores. In addition, it is also available with AT&T, Verizon Wireless stores and select Apple Authorized Resellers.

“The white iPhone 4 has finally arrived and it’s beautiful,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing.

“We appreciate everyone who has waited patiently while we’ve worked to get every detail right,” he added.

The white iPhone 4 features Retina display with 960 by 640 resolutions in 3.5 inch screen to provide you with crisp text, images and video, and FaceTime for video calling, multitasking and HD video recording to shoot and store memorable moments of life.

White models of iPhone 4 will be available for $199 (US) and $299 (US) for the 16GB model and 32GB model respectively with a new two year agreement.

We reported in this site that the white iPhone 4 will be released this week. Now sites like macrumors and engadget report that the Cupertino based iPhone maker has started sending shipments of white iPhone 4 units to its retailers. A Belgian retailer is also reported to have received the shipment clearly signaling the release of white iPhone 4 in the next few days. Apple has also reportedly sent promotional materials to retailers in United States.

There are also reports of premature sales of white iPhone 4 in a certain retail store of UK. So, if you are thinking of buying an iPhone then hold onto a few more days for the white iPhone 4 to arrive.

9 To 5 Mac reports that Apple has given iPhone 4S to some select iPhone developers as part of its preparation for its next generation iPhone. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 5 will go into production by September. The new iPhone will have A5 processor which will improve gaming performance significantly and the Cupertino based company may push it as one of the Unique selling points.

Apple has selected some iPhone developers and given them iPhone 4 look like phone but with an A5 processor. It is being done to test various iPhone apps on the new processor and optimize its performance. 9 To 5 Mac writes, “Apple isn’t taking the next iPhone’s A5-power lightly. They already have select developers working on versions of their iPhone applications that take full advantage of the next-generation iPhone’s speedier and much more powerful hardware. These developers, seemingly from high-level gaming outfits, have been given what is essentially an iPhone 4 but with an A5 processor instead of an A4. The device itself is virtually identical to the iPhone 4, and there is no way anyone can tell it’s not an iPhone 4 based on the phone’s exterior.”

The report, if true, signals that the production of iPhone will begin in a couple of months and the next generation iPhone will surely feature A5 processor which was first introduced in iPad 2. Prospective iPhone buyers can surely expect some really good performance and extra iPhone from the new iPhone.

Bloomberg reports that Apple will release its white iPhone 4 in the next few weeks. The story cited people familiar with the Apple plans and says that the white iPhone 4 may finally hit the store shelves after a string of delays due to several unspecified reasons.

According to Bloomberg story, Apple’s white iPhone 4 will be available with AT&T Inc. and Verizon Wireless in United States. The story further says that the Cupertino giant is not planning to release iPhone 5 at the Developer’s conference and may delay the release of its next generation device by a few months to spur the sales of white iPhone 4.

TUAW blogger TJ Louma enquired AT&T regarding the upgrade plans to iPhone 4 and he found out that if you’re lucky enough to qualify for one of the early upgrades that get you out of usual 18-months AT&T commitment period, then you pay just $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB.

If your upgrade date is January 1, 2011 or after, early pricing for the iPhone 4 will be US $399 for the 16GB model of $499 for 32GB model.

If you plan to upgrade it to “no-commitment” contact, meaning that there’s no early termination fee for dropping the phone led two years, the price sneaks up another $200 to $599 for the 16GB model and $699 for the 32GB unit.

As with major purchase you should consider these pricing factors before you jump into purchasing a new iPhone. Remember, there will be a new mold coming out in 2011.

Apple announced next version of iPhone, called the iPhone 4 during the keynote by Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs’ at World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC10).

Jobs’ said: “It’s beyond a doubt, the most precise thing and one of the most beautiful things we’ve ever made”. There are new features of iPhone 4 as follows.

Updated design

The new iPhone 4 is 9.4mm thick and 24 precent thinner that the iPhone 3GS. It includes new camera with LED flash on the back with a second front facing camera as well. New volume buttons, a mute button and a second microphone on the top for noise cancellation. It has micro-SIM tray same as iPad.

iPhone 4 has three integrated antennas into the design: one for Bluetooth, one for Wi-Fi and GPS and one for UMTS and GSM.

Gorgeous Display

Apple introduces their first ever Retina display add much higher precision to the iPhone. In fact, at 326 pixels per inch, it’s double the 163 pixel per inch resolution of the iPhone 3GS. The display is same 3.5 inches with its length but at 960 by 640 it has four time as many pixels as the previous model. The 800:1 contrast ratio is also four times that of the iPhone 3GS, it uses IPS display technology as the iPad and the iMac for good color fidelity, brightness and viewing angle.

New Processor

iPhone 4 has the new A4 processor which is also the processor of iPad as well. This A4 processor is a tiny chip designed by Apple which occupied little space in the unit makes a welcoming room for bigger battery for iPhone 4. Apple says, it provides 40 percent more talk time. The company says the talk time is up from 5 hours to 7 hours; 6 hours to 3G browsing; 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing; 10 hours of video; 40 hours of music; and 300 hours of standby.

The new iPhone is arsenic free, BFR-free mercury-free, PVC-free, and made from highly recyclable materials.

It comes in sizes up to 32GB of storage (the same as the iPhone 3GS) and includes quad-band HSPDPA/HSUPA networking with a maximum of 7.2Mbps down and 5.8 Mbps up.

“That’s theoretical because the carriers don’t support it yet,” said Jobs.

There’s also 802.11n Wi-Fi wireless networking, an improvement from 802.11g in the previous model.

Gyroscope

The new iPhone 4 adds three-axis gyroscope for measuring angular velocity. It can figure out pitch, roll and yaw; and rotation about gravity. The gyroscope plus the accelerometer provides six-axis motion sensing. There are also new CoreMotion API that developers can call for extremely precise position information which ideal for games.

All new Camera

iPhone 4 has a new 5 megapixel camera with 5x digital zoom and a LED flash. Not only that iPhone 4 also does a video with up to 720p HD video recording at 30 frames per second. You can even edit the video which you just shot right on your iPhone 4 with iMovie. You can add titles, changes themes, and use music from your iTunes library.

iMovie for iPhone will be available for $5 – “if we approve it,” Jobs joked, in reference to the App Store.

FaceTime

FaceTime is something you can video chat using the front facing camera and also with the back camera with a simple tap on screen to change what camera to use while video chat.

For Jobs’ patented (well, probably not, but it should be) One More Thing moment, he sat down on a chair to show off the iPhone 4’s video chatting capabilities. Using either of the two cameras, you can make video calls—a feature called FaceTime—between iPhone 4 phones over Wi-Fi only—at least through 2010. Jobs said Apple needs to “work a little bit with the cellular providers in the future”. You can switch between cameras and chat in landscape or portrait mode.

Price and availability

The iPhone 4 will come in black and white, at $199 for 16GB and $299 for 32GB. Apple will also add an 8GB iPhone 3GS for $99.

Jobs said that AT&T is going to make “an incredibly generous upgrade offer.” If your contract expires any time in 2010, you’re immediately eligible for that pricing, for up to six months early eligibility. The iPhone 4 will be available from Apple and AT&T’s retail and online stores, as well as at Best Buy and Wal-Mart stores.

The iPhone 4 goes on sale in the U.S., France, Germany, the U.K., and Japan on June 24, with pre-orders starting on June 15. It will ship in 18 more countries in July, in 24 more in August, and in 40 more by the end of September.

Apple also showed off some accessories: a $29 dock and a $29 case called a Bumper that comes in white, black, blue, green, orange, or pink.

iPhone OS 4 is now called as iOS 4 and it’s Golden Master Release Candidate is available for download for paid iPhone Developer only. We’ve been expecting since really long and finally it’s out. This beta release of iOS 4 / iPhone OS 4 is a last beta release from Apple and final release which will graduate beta will be out on 21st June 2010.

This new iPhone OS 4 / iOS 4 can be install on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G and anyways iPhone 4 will be shipped with this OS installed in it. But iPhone 2G / classic wont’ be getting an iPhone OS 4 / iOS 4 update this means that Apple stopped supporting their very first iPhone which was a revolutionary product of in it’s kind.

This is true that from here on iPhone OS will called as iOS and the latest iPhone OS 4 is now an iOS4. So, from here onwards we’ll call ourselves an iOS Developer.

Well, now one thing is pretty simple to understand that why did they changed the name of OS from iPhone OS to iOS, they wanted to use iPhone OS in almost all of their products in coming days or they’re simply coming up with plenty of new segment devices, in which iPhone OS will be used. Those devices which will not be a phone but will be running on iPhone OS, why not just change the name of OS. If you’re an iPhone developer you know how weird it was to talk about iPad and saying that iPad runs on iPhone OS which was pretty much changed through its UI. So, now we call that the iPad runs on iOS 3.2.

I believe that all the device starting with ‘i’ will eventually have iOS loaded in it, in coming days. This is just what I think. If you’ve something in your mind, do let us know leaving a comment below.

Yep that’s true that whatever we speculated didn’t turned up precisely but yeah, one thing what we speculated and turned up well is that the new iPhone 4 is the same iPhone prototype which Gizmodo covered last month.

The new iPhone 4 has the best things in it for both iPhone Developers and iPhone users. One of the best things about it is its Retina Display with 960×640 pixels. Its screen clarity is just WOW! Above all, we iPhone Developers doesn’t really need to rescale our apps to match this new display quality density as we do it on other platforms like Android where we need to design your app keeping different screen densities in our mind. Whereas, iPhone does it all by its own and what else, it makes your existing app looks really better but if you try and enhance it it’ll look stunning on the new iPhone 4.

All together the new iPhone has lots of great new hardware features added in it. Do return to this blog to get new details on iPhone 4.
