Apple introduced its new 3G iPhone which will go on sale July 11. TechCrunch has the story and a video of the announcement.
The new iPhone will run on AT&T’s high-speed 3G network, will give you an 8 gigabyte device with GPS, relatively long battery life, and all for only $199 (with a 2-year contract), as compared to the first iteration of iPhones which sell for $399.
Steve Jobs, making the announcement, said that 3G speed approaches that of WiFi, making web and email access more desirable. In combination with the GPS chip, the increased speed makes many new location-aware applications possible.
