Here comes the iPhone 4

Just when you thought the iPhone couldn’t get any better, it does. The new model will be slimmer, have expanded battery life, a front-facing camera for video conferencing, a 5 megapixel camera with flash, folders for apps, and high def resolution. If you’re a nerd, you probably want to get this ASAP.

The new model will be available on June 24th, and will be available in a 16gb model for $199, and a 32gb model for $299 (both with a 2 year contract). To top it off, Netflix also announced a new app that will be available this summer, which will allow users to stream movies on their phone. Unfortunately, the news isn’t all good.

If you’ve been following tech news lately, then you know that AT&T is going to eliminate their unlimited data packages. That leaves new subscribers with a choice of a $15 package which includes 200mb of data, and a $25 package which allows 2gb of data. AT&T claims that the vast majority of its users are below the 2gb level, but with apps like Netflix, more people will undoubtedly be joining the 2gb+ club. It’s unfortunate that AT&T’s changes to its data plan has put a damper on Apple and Netflix’s good news and innovation.

If you currently have an unlimited data plan, you will be allowed to keep it. If you don’t, do your best to use wifi!
