Recently Apple has just introduced the new iPhone generation, iPhone 4. Display expert Raymond Soneira claims that iPhone 4′s Retina Display aren’t completely true.
Raymond Soneira said:
Steve Jobs claimed that the iPhone 4 has a resolution higher than the Retina — that’s not right:
2. So, if you hold an iPhone at the typical 12 inches from your eyes that works out to 477 pixels per inch (ppi). At 8 inches it’s 716 ppi. You have to hold it out 18 inches before it falls to 318 ppi.
So the iPhone [4] has significantly lower resolution than the retina. It actually needs a resolution significantly higher than the retina in order to deliver an image that appears perfect to the retina.
It’s a great display, most likely the best mobile display in production (and I can’t wait to test it) but this is another example of spec exaggeration.
The Motorola Droid has 854×480 resolution displays at 3.7 inches it reaches just 265PPI. For the HTC Evo 4G with 4.3-inch screen at 800×480, it hits 217PPI.
As we are waiting for iPhone Dev Team who promise to release the full jailbreak and unlock the iOS4 this month, now someone takes an advance step to unlock the iPhone 3.1.3 05.11.07. He tends to show that iOS 4 GM release which you can use to jailbreak your iPhone 3GS, while preserving your baseband so that you can unlock using ultrasn0w or blacksn0w (check the video for more detail).
If you can’t wait for iPhone Dev Team who will release jailbreak and unlock some time this moth, you can follow the instruction here but you should bear in mind that it is risky.
While everyone else was busy trying to keep up with iPhone, we were busy creating amazing new features that make iPhone more powerful, easier to use, and more indispensable than ever. The result is iPhone 4. The biggest thing to happen to iPhone since iPhone.

Finally, we can get our iPhone Version 3.1.3 unlocked soon. MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev Team has revealed over on Twitter that there will be an unlock for iPhone 3G/3GS on 05.12.01 baseband next month. Meanwhile, Apple will also announce the new iPhone along with final GM version of iPhone OS 4.
Here is the conversation between MuscleNerd and EmmanueGT:
@MuscleNerd will there be a unlock software coming out for the 3gs 3.1.3 baseband 05.12.01 when the new iPhone 4g comes out??
@EmmanueGT yep..so don’t sell or give away your 3GS (at same time, remember not to accept Apple FW upgrades in future)
Sooner or later, we will get our iPhone insurance from AT&T. The new insurance service called MobileProtect will start from June 6th. This insurance plan is made specifically for the Apple iPhone and will be run by Asurion with a price tag of $13.99/month. It will be available for purchase through Apple’s App Store. The charges will be billed to the credit card on file with Apple. The deductibles range from $99 for an 8GB 3G to $199 for a 32GB 3GS, which is pretty steep — but not quite as steep as $699 for a new 32 GB 3GS off-contract. It is expected to have more image and exact information after the break.
Finally, we can use skype on our iPhone 3G. With Skype 2.2, you can call via your iPhone 3G Network. The fee will be free use until August 2010, after which there will be a small monthly fee.
Are you using Firefox in your PC? Do you think of having firefox in your iPone? Today, you can use Firefox not only in your pc but also in your iPhone. Having Worked on an application for the iPhone, Mozilla finally announced the upcoming Firefox Home Appication for iPhone that is able to sync with desktop browser.
The app is called Firefox Home, and it gives iPhone users instant access to their Firefox browsing history, bookmarks and the set of tabs from their most recent browser session. What’s more, it provides Firefox “Awesome Bar” capability that enables people to get to their favorite web sites with minimal typing.
Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact release date yet. It is said that “there will be more to come as we polish this off and submit it to the App Store.” Hopefully, we can get more information after the break; but at least, we can enjoy watching the preview of Firefox Home App to the iPhone.
