>> So as we arrive at iPhone's first birthday, we're going to take it to the next level...

>> And today we're introducing the iPhone 3G. ^M00:00:17 [ Applause ] ^M00:00:31

>> We've learned so much with the first iPhone.

>> We've taken everything we've learned, and more, and we've created the iPhone 3G. And it's beautiful. This is what it looks like. It's even thinner at the edges. It's really beautiful. It's got a full plastic back. It's really nice. Solid metal buttons, the same gorgeous 3.5-inch display, camera, flush headphone jack.

>> So you can use any headphones you like... ^M00:01:16 [ Applause ] ^M00:01:19

>> Improved audio, dramatically improved audio.

>> It's really, really great. And it feels even better in your hand if you can believe it. It's really quite wonderful, the iPhone 3G. Now, let's look at a very typical scenario. You've got an email attachment you want to look at; you tap on it, let's do the same thing here, same phone, same place. The 3G version downloads in five seconds, and the EDGE version in 18 seconds. That is 3.6 times faster on the 3G version. So we can see a real difference now of download speeds. And again if we compare this to Wi-Fi, you'll see that the 3G is approaching Wi-Fi speeds. One of the things we're also really proud of though, is we're doing this with great battery life. We've managed to get five hours of 3G talk time, which is really an industry leading amount of time. We've very pleased with this. Browsing five to six hours of high speed browsing.

>> Video, 7 hours, and audio, we've managed to get 24 hours of audio. ^M00:02:43 [ Applause ] ^M00:02:46

>> So great performance, great battery life.

>> Now, one other thing that benefits from fast data, of course, is GPS...

>> And we've built that into the new iPhone 3G as well.

>> So... ^M00:03:05 [ Applause ] ^M00:03:09

>> As you know, location services is going to be a really big deal on the iPhone, with the iPhone 2.0 software.

>> You saw a bit of that here today. It's going to explode. And of course, we get data from cell towers, location data. We get location data from Wi-Fi, and now we also get it from GPS.

>> And I'm really happy to tell you that the iPhone 3G is going to sell for 199. ^M00:03:39 [ Applause ] ^M00:03:51

>> And a hundred, at just a 199 dollars, we think the iPhone 3G is going to be affordable to almost everyone.

>> And that's for the 8 gig models. The 16 gig model just 299, and for the 16 gig model, we also have something special, we have a white one. It's also very beautiful. Seventy countries this year, we're going to start with 22 of the biggest, and we're going to be rolling out the iPhone 3G at the same time in all of these countries. And we're rolling it out on July 11th. July 11th, and in almost every one of these countries, the price is a maximum of 199, all around the world. So we are really, really excited about the new iPhone 3G.
