Apple today
announced that iPhone will deliver significantly longer battery life
when it ships on June 29 than was originally estimated when iPhone was
unveiled in January. iPhone will feature up to 8 hours of talk time, 6
hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback or 24 hours of audio
playback.* In addition, iPhone will feature up to 250 hours-more than 10
days-of standby time. Apple also announced that the entire top surface of
iPhone, including its stunning 3.5-inch display, has been upgraded from
plastic to optical-quality glass to achieve a superior level of scratch
resistance and optical clarity.

"With 8 hours of talk time, and 24 hours of audio playback, iPhone's
battery life is longer than any other 'Smartphone' and even longer than
most MP3 players," said Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO. "We've also upgraded
iPhone's entire top surface from plastic to optical-quality glass for
superior scratch resistance and clarity. There has never been a phone like
iPhone, and we can't wait to get this truly magical product into the hands
of customers starting just 11 days from today."
iPhone introduces an entirely new user interface based on a
revolutionary multi-touch display and pioneering new software that allows
users to control iPhone with just a tap, flick or pinch of their fingers.
iPhone combines three products into one small and lightweight handheld
device -- a revolutionary mobile phone, a widescreen iPod, and the Internet
in your pocket with best-ever applications on a mobile phone for email, web
browsing and maps. iPhone ushers in an era of software power and
sophistication never before seen in a mobile device, which completely
redefines what users can do on their mobile phones.
iPhone will be available in the US on June 29, 2007 in a 4GB model for
$499 (US) and an 8GB model for $599 (US), and will work with either a PC or
Mac(R). iPhone will be sold in the US through Apple's retail and online
stores, and through AT&T's select retail stores.
