The next iPhone comes out June 24 and will
have a higher-resolution screen, longer battery life and thinner
design.

      CEO Steve Jobs opened Apple Inc.'s annual conference for
software developers Monday by revealing the iPhone 4, which will
cost $199 or $299 in the U.S. with a two-year AT&T contract,
depending on the capacity. The iPhone 3GS, which debuted last year,
will still be available, for $99.

      The iPhone 4 is about three-eighths of an inch thick; the
previous iPhone was nearly half an inch. It is getting a camera on
the front that could be used for videoconferencing, in addition to
a five-megapixel camera and a flash on the back. It can shoot
high-definition video, catching up to some other smart phones.


      The display on the new iPhone remains 3.5 inches diagonally, but
Jobs said it can show four times as many pixels - the individual
colored dots that make up an image - as the previous screen.


      The new phone will run the latest version of Apple's mobile
software, now called iOS4, which Apple unveiled in April to offer
such new features as the ability to operate more than one program
at a time. Older iPhones will be able to get iOS4 as a download
June 21.


      New applications for the device will include the popular game
Farmville and one from Netflix that lets people watch streaming
video where they left off on a PC.
