The announcements are still ongoing at the WWDC 10 but the big news is the official revealing of the all new Apple Iphone 4 (yes, that's what its going to be called; no 4G, no mini iPad).

So quickly, here are a couple of major changes that the phone's going to have:

1. Its 9.3mm thin, making it the thinnest smartphone on Earth.
2. There's a front facing camera.
3. Bad news comes in the form of the microSIM tray, which means regular sized SIMS that we use in India won't fit.
4. There are dedicated hardware volume buttons and a mute button too.
5. The camera now gets an LED flash, so that's a big win. The megapixel count is up to 5MP now and there is also 5x digital zoom. Plus, it can shoot 720p videos!
6. There's a second mic on the phone's top and its a noise cancelling one.
7. The iPhone 4 has a steel rim with lines and the entire rim functions as an antenna.
8. The display is a "retina display" which means greater pixel density and "four times the number of pixels in the same space." A total of 326 pixels per inch.
9. The screen resolution is now up to 960x640 (The iPhone 3GS' display had a resolution limited to 320x480)
10. It runs on the A4 chip.
11. The iPhone 4 has a bigger battery and Steve Jobs claims that as a result the iPhone 4 will give 40% more talktime, 6 hours of 3G browsing; 10 hours of Wi-Fi browsing; 10 hours of video; 40 hours of music; 300 hours of standby.
12. The iPhone 4 will have up to 32GB of storage.
13. The iPhone 4 will now have a gyroscope. 3-axis gyro (angular velocity); pitch, roll, & yaw; rotation about gravity; gyro + accelerometer provide 6-axis motion sensing. New CoreMotion APIs that developers can call; extremely precise position information. Perfect for gaming.
So, that's all the updates for now. We'll leave you with some awesome pics taken at the WWDC 10. Enjoy! (Also, make sure you check out our list of Top 5 High-End Phones, a list that features the iPhone 3GS at #1).
