iPhone Gets Better Battery, Scratch Resistant Glass

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the clean-off-your-pants dept.

Dekortage writes "Prior to its much-hyped launch on June 29, Apple has announced upgrades to its battery life (almost 40% more than originally announced) and scratch resistance (using "optical quality glass" rather than plastics). The announcement also includes a comparison chart pitting the iPhone against smartphones from Nokia, Samsung, Palm, and Blackberry."

    A little while back, Dvorak (the original, not the popular term for a retard) was claiming the iPhone would have 40 minutes talk-time [the link doesn't go to Dvorak's site].

    So, where's the retraction, John - after all, any *responsible* journalist's priority is the truth, not just seeking attention for himself at the expense of others...

  2. Re:Worst comparison chart EVER by empaler · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's probably worth noting the iPhone's camera is pretty dire in comparison to the new Sony/Nokia offerings too - 2megapixel vs. 5 megapixel. Give me a 2 MP cam with good photosensitive silicon rather than a 5 MP with cheap third-rate silicon.
    I'm not saying that Apple has shelled out for a better cam function, I'm just saying that MP count is like snakeoil.
