iPhone 4 Battery

The battery is a 5.25 Whr one, which is 1.419 mAh (5.25WHr / 3.7V). This has been confirmed in several teardown pictures of the iphone 4 - http://www.iphoneheat.com/2010/04/iphone-4g-hd-teardown/ , and the teardown has been confirmed within the WWDC 2010 Keynote by Steve Jobs. In one slide, he revealed drawings of the inner components and it was identical to the teardown site. Therefore, this info re the battery should be incorporated into the "Power" section on the right hand side.

Edit Request

Where is lists all 4 iphone models, the information for the Iphone 3g is incorrect. All this information was stuff added to the second generation ipod touch. the 3G did not have nike+ ipod. and every iphone has had a built in speaker. and the iphone 3g doesn't have a silver back. I have one and i promise you, it doesn't. L2 Iphone please.

• There is another incorrect bit in the models section, the original iPhone does not have a 32GB model. It had a 4GB, 8GB and 16GB, the 16GB being released in February 2008, not the non-existant 32GB. This should be fixed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BRTD (talk • contribs) 02:27, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

I just edited it.... I'm a beginner though I've only managed to make one whole article in Wikipedia so far it's the myTouch 3G Slide article but anyways..... I think someone copied the iPod touch models chart..... Cause it said tapered chrome back ,featured Nike+ support, and OS 2.0 as standard (all the things the 2nd generation iPod touch features), and also the 3GS's description was Upgraded internals of CPU, GPU, and RAM to ones similar to the iPhone 3GS.

iPhone 4G

This setion has nothing more to add to the article for obvious reasons
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
Gizmodo got their hands on the 4G iPhone. We need to add this info in! UPDATE: Me Again, iPhone Confirmed, Res and Cam Data is fact —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.82.187.49 (talk) 19:24, 19 April 2010 (UTC) There's a ton of speculation about the supposed prototype, but I'm reluctant to add what is essentially gossip to this article, even if it is backed up by sources (and there are plenty out there). Wikipedia isn't a news site, and it's not essential that we keep each article updated "as news breaks" so there's no rush to add the info. I'd personally prefer to wait until a reaction from Apple (if it comes) but if someone can find a good way to work it into the article I wouldn't object. -- Atama頭 20:42, 19 April 2010 (UTC) Well Apple has confirmed its existence with a letter asking for it back, so maybe you can update it now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.88.74 (talk) 06:14, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Apple sent a letter to Gizmodo's editors asking for the prototype back, so it's pretty much real. Plus, either way, it's received significant media coverage. It's worth noting. --.:Alex:. 08:45, 20 April 2010 (UTC) The letter simply states that Gizmodo is in possession of a "device" that belongs to Apple and asks for it's return - they never reference the term "iPhone", "prototype" or even "phone". That letter doesn't confirm that it's a new iPhone prototype, it's just a letter asking for their property back. It is certainly reasonable to infer that the "Device" that Apple refers to *is* the prototype that Gizmodo have been showing off. However, given that the letter could be faked, as could the whole incident, I don't think it's worth including at this point. Until Apple comes out and actually confirms a new model of iPhone, this is all speculation. Even though it's pretty much guaranteed that this is a real prototype, and that Apple have released a new model every year for the last 3 years (from which you could reasonably infer that there will be a new model this year), it's still all speculation. Certainly newsworthy, but I don't think it's worthy of an encyclopaedia yet. Blcollier (talk) 14:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC) I think we can be certain that the letter is referring to the iPhone. Gizmodo stated that they had been in contact with Apple about the device, and that the letter is merely a formality in retrieving the phone (hence the lack of any specifics). It's very unlikely that this is a hoax, as it would have to be an extremely elaborate one at that (and therefore notable). If this turns out to be an elaborate marketing stunt, then that too is definitely notable. The fact that Apple lost possession of a prototype iPhone is in itself notable. I'm not saying that we need to specify the details of the device, but merely include the story behind this. --.:Alex:. 17:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC) +1, it seems pretty implausible at this point that its a giant hoax. -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 18:51, 20 April 2010 (UTC) It has been officially confirmed that the iPhone 4G was legitimate. Someone needs to add this information into the article! Jsehrett (talk) 19:30, 20 April 2010 (UTC)jsehrett, Apr 20 2010 Which section should it be added to? -- Eraserhead1 <talk> 19:32, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Honestly, this might be better for History of the iPhone than this article. This article mostly describes the device itself, while the history article talks about incidents and controversies surrounding the releases of the various models and critical reception of the devices. -- Atama頭 20:31, 20 April 2010 (UTC) Agreed. Dmarquard (talk) 18:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC) I would like to point out that technically its name should be the iPhone 4, not the iPhone 4G, as it (or at least the prototype) uses 3G technology. The decision by them to use 3G technology instead of 4G technology was logical because very few companies have 4G technology at this moment, and most of those companies only have it in select areas. According to wikipedia's 4G article, the only companies to have 4G technology active at this moment are Sprint in the U.S., Telus and Bell in Canada, and O2 in England. Charwinger21 (talk) 18:57, 19 May 2010 (UTC) A valid point, but luckily the misnomer is only on this talk page and not in the article. If you have sources for the limitation of 4G networks, they might be usable in the article. HereToHelp (talk to me) 20:44, 19 May 2010 (UTC) The 4G used in this case does not necessarily refer to the technology used but rather refers to being the fourth-generation iPhone. This is the case with the iPod Touch 2G, which refers to being the second-generation iPod Touch. HereToHelp (talk to me) Should a brand new Article on just the iPhone 4 be created? Much of what the current article shows does nto pertain to the new Phone. I see that car models often place generation after generation of the same named car, but it gets a little ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.237.168.204 (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2010 (UTC) I've previously been frustrated trying to come here to find information the iPhone 3GS as it takes longer to decipher here than most other mobile phones.

Edit request - INTRO- HSPA reference

Requesting edit of this sentence.

"The iPhone 3GS has improved performance, a camera with higher resolution and video capability, voice control,[22] and support for 7.2 Mbps HSDPA downloading (but remains limited to 384 Kbps uploading as Apple has not implemented the HSPA protocol)"

It should read "Apple has not implemented the HSUPA protocol"

as it has semi-implemented the HSPA protocol in the Download side.

One more item-- In the "Sim Unlocking" section-- the information about AT&T selling iPhone with out a contract commitment isn't totally accurate. The non-commitment pricing is $499/599/699 (8GB,16GB, 32GB) compared to $99/$199/$299. Hence, $400 more. The reason is AT&T subsidizes handset cost in turn for a 2-year commitment. If the contract is terminated then a prorated ETF is charged to recover the up-front subsidy. AT&T recovers the subsidy plus "then some" over the life of the two-year contract from monthly fees. The part that is inaccurate is that Apple lose deferred income. That's incorrect. Apple doesn't receive any of the monthly service revenue. So that needs to be removed. I think the explanation for why non-commitment iPhones are so much more expensive should be that there is no guarantee that it would recover the subsidy due to no contract agreement as well as doesn't provide AT&T the right to charge ETF to recover subsidy if terminated.Tmuller2 (talk) 10:13, 17 May 2010 (UTC)

I was under the impression that AT&T discontinued selling out-of-contract phones, and Apple did receive revenue - but that's just my vague recollection. If you can provide reliable sources, I'll be more than happy to add the information. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 13:48, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

on censorship

wikipedia is not supposed to be censored. if there are notable problems that are noted by notable officers of a notable company, and reported on by notable news sources by notable reporters, and you leave it out of your encyclopedia, then your encyclopedia loses credibility. many media outlets have reported that an worker at an iphone factory committed suicide and claimed he was beaten and interrogated because he lost an iPhone prototype. Apple itself has commented on the situation with its laborers. Leaving this out of the article is not representative of the spirit of wikipedia and i believe it is in violation of several policies. Decora (talk) 22:49, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

oh and i was trying to come back here and add to the article a notice that it had been copy/pasted from the Criticism of Apple Inc article and wasnt written by me... of course since the section has been deleted now i guess its kind of a moot point. Decora (talk) 22:53, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

WP:V is a core policy; reliable sources must be presented, especially when critical. Also, note WP:NPOV.--mono 00:51, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't this be more relevant in Apple Inc. as workers' practice, the here? Might be worth mentioning, perhaps. But as far as crying "censorship" - seems a lot like WP:POINT. HereToHelp ^{(talk to me)} 03:31, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I say that this is irrelevant to the topic at hand. The iphone here is not the problem, just apple/foxcon. We are not instituting censorship, just this content should be somewhere else (as it is on the apple article, and it has its own article). Which policies do you believe are being violated?

Next time before adding such a bold subject to the article, receive consensuses on the talk page. And make sure to get really good sources before alleging conspires that Apple kills its employees.

Alek2407 (talk) 06:11, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Recent Rash Of Suicides at Iphone manufacturer Foxconn

Something should be mentioned of the 10 or so suicides at iphone manufacturer Foxconn. Foxconn has also made all employees sign a letter promising not to kill themselves. requires 60+ hours a week of overtime and employees make $120 a month, yes a month. Apple has stepped up somewhat offering to give up .7 percent of their profit on the iphone so the employees could get a 20% raise and stop killing themselves (total 3% of profit will go to labor after the increase). That would make them being paid 144 / mo . Not that Im saying all of this is apples fault mind you, but Foxconn is the only firm building the iphone and apple does continue to do business with them so it should be mentioned here as it generating quite a bit of press lately .

Poor picture choice or caption choice

From what I see, the Models section just has a LOT of incorrect information. It should be refreshed from the "List of iPhone Models" page.

Comparisons

Does anyone else think it worth adding comparisons with other current competing devices? The iPhone does not exist in a bubble independently of the rest of the world. A couple of examples are:

• The 2007 Nokia N95 had a 5M pixel camera - just released on the new iPhone
• Many rival designs of phones can run independent third party software - such as Maemo and Android

Reading the article, this context is not immediately obvious. Stephen B Streater (talk) 08:15, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

iTunes is not compatible with Windows XP 64 bit

I run XP 64bit on a number of computers because it has a lightweight footprint. One of the most frustrating things is Apple's lack of support for iTunes in XP 64 bit.

iPhone 4 related information → iPhone 4 — As per WP:SPLIT.–Edson.ajj (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Comment: I think that this article has grown to be to big, it comes particularly to my attention the attempt to deal with every model of the phone on every section. I came here today to see if I could add anything in regard to the iPhone 4, but instead when reading it became apparent to me that what it needs the most is a change in the way the information is ordered. I propose that the article be separated either into sections covering each model or that information about the iPhone 3G be removed, thus providing info about the original and currently available models. The information regarding the history could be re-ordered into a timeline such as the one found in Timeline of Apple Inc. products and details left only for the original iPhone announcement and the newest model.
Edson.ajj (talk) 02:49, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Support: I agree that the article needs to be broken up, but the best method of doing so is not clear. I would suggest an introduction to devices that run iOS on the iOS page including the iPhone series, the iPad, and the iPod Touch series and the details of each model broken out into its own page. Having information about 4 separate devices on the same page is making it a bit unwieldy to maintain. A good time for this break out would probably be before the launch occurs and a flood of new information comes in. There is a large amount of information that doesn't pertain directly to any one device, so a more generic "IPhone Series" page may also be warranted. Opticron (talk) 03:22, 8 June 2010 (UTC)

Support: Agreed this article is truly confusing right now and may confuse many people reading it. There needs to be a new page for each hardware model and I like the idea of an iOS "hub" page for all the devices. Maybe there should be a "History of iPhone" page with all the anecdotes etc. and the individual pages for the devices should concentrate mainly on the hardware and model specific facts. How would you proceed with such a breaking up of the article?

Considering the fact that the iPhone 3GS and 3G are just refined versions of the original iPhone, and that the iPhone 4 is at least a brand-new form factor, I can see a valid reason to have an iPhone 4 article, but perhaps not for the older models.

Also another reason is the iPhone 4 is just different from how the older generation were.... Like the screen use to be all the same and they followed an order, now it's a better one (btw I think Apple gave in to what Android was offering and tried a new design). Either way I also find that it may be required to keep this article partially to represent the iPhone series like how it is with the iPod but I just don't know what the original iPhone's article's name will be if we do that. justinxtreme (talk) 05:59, 15 June 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justinxtreme (talk • contribs)

in the article about the iPhone, the table with the models shows various battery lifes... Only the battery life from the iPhone 3G isn't correct. iPhone 3G should be able to play for up to 36 hour of music or 6 hours of video. The iPhone 3GS for 30 hours of music and 8 hours of video...

The battery life of the iPhone 3G (by music) isn't 30 hours, but 24 hours (like said earlier in the text) to check: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone?mco=OTY2ODA2OQ

What's with the Monopoly talk/text

I propose a change to the following: Other carriers such as Verizon Wireless have been forced by the AT&T monopoly to focus on other types of smart phones such as those based on the Android (operating system).[207]

AT&T does not have a MONOPOLY on the iPhone, they have an exclusive distribution deal in the United States. There is no monopoly. Also Verizon is not "FORCED" to "focus" on anything else. They jsut offer differnt products. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.7.87.91 (talk) 10:58, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

I'd eliminate the word "monopoly" while being somewhat tempted to but still say something along the lines of: Due to premiums commanded by smartphones that require data-plans Verizon (optional) and other carriers without access to the iPhone have turned to other smartphone platforms in order to compete in the more lucrative and faster growing market of smartphones (there are plenty of sources abound as references to these practices and typically how the carriers that Apple support have grown much faster in the smartphone niche). Also, noteworthy here is how more OEMs are focusing on the production of smartphones and how they expect to lose marketshare to both Apple and those who ride the smartphone wave, as this market is gradually crowding out the feature-phone market.

Feedback please

I have updated the image on regarding the SIM locking etc to File:Iphonesimcard.JPG. I hope there is no objection as the previous photo was of an earlier discontinued model. If someone has a newer device and could update the article further this would be great. Thanks Luke2511 (talk) 20:10, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Divide the iPhone Models in pages

I believe that the iPhone Wikipedia page has become to bloated. Is it possible to explain what the iPhone is in a nutshell on the main page and branch the models off into different pages. These phones have more than a small few features.
