CUPERTINO, CA· June 18, 2007 - Apple
today announced that iPhone will deliver significantly longer battery
life when it ships on June 29 than was originally estimated when iPhone
was unveiled in January.
iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk
time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of
audio playback.* In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours-more
than 10 days-of standby time. Apple also announced that the entire top
surface of iPhone, including its stunning 3.5-inch display, has been
upgraded from plastic to optical-quality glass to achieve a superior
level of scratch resistance and optical clarity.
"With 8
hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone's battery
life is longer than any other 'Smartphone' and even longer than most
MP3 players," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We've also upgraded
iPhone's entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for
superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone
like iPhone, and we can't wait to get this truly magical product into
the hands of customers starting just 11 days from today."
iPhone
introduces an entirely new user interface based on a revolutionary
multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows users to
control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers. iPhone
combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld
device-a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and the
Internet in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone
for email, web browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software
power and sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which
completely redefines what users can do on their mobile phones.
Pricing and Availability
iPhone
will be available in the US on June 29, 2007 in a 4GB model for $499
(US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or
