CEO Steve Jobs opened Apple's (AAPL) annual conference revealing the iPhone 4, which will cost $199 or $299 in the US with a 2-year AT&T contract (depending on the capacity). The next iPhone will be sold on Jun 24 & will have a higher-resolution screen, longer battery life & thinner design. iPhone 3GS, which debuted last year, will still be available, for $99. The iPhone 4 is about 3/8 of an inch thick; the previous iPhone was nearly ½". It has a camera on the front that could be used for videoconferencing, in addition to a 5-megapixel camera & 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 3½" diagonally, but it can show 4 times as many pixels, the individual colored dots that make up an image, as the previous screen. The stock fell 5 to below 251 & has a chart that looks like it's topping out.
