As outlined by Apple in the handsets’ description:

Get all the features of iPhone 4 — FaceTime video calling, Retina display, HD video recording, and more — in a phone that you can activate and use on the supported GSM wireless carrier of your choice, such as AT&T in the United States.¹

If you don’t want a multiyear service contract or if you prefer to use a local carrier when traveling abroad, the unlocked iPhone 4 is the best choice. It arrives without a micro-SIM card, so you’ll need an active micro-SIM card from any supported GSM carrier worldwide.

In iOS 5, Apple has added a “private browsing” mode to Safari, which users can activate in the Settings app.

The feature has been spotted in the first beta version of iOS 5, which Apple seeded to developers a couple of days ago. As you can see in the above screenshot (taken on my iPhone), in iOS 5, users can enable “private browsing” from within the Settings app.

Undoubtedly, this is another minor but much-needed feature that has made its way into the iOS. Once “private browsing” is activated, users of iOS 5 will be able to view sensitive websites on an iOS device while protecting their privacy.

[via Gizmodo]

For a while now, we’ve been hearing rumors claiming that Apple’s fifth generation iPhone will feature an improved camera. Now, DigitTimes claims that this is indeed the case, and that camera image sensors for the handset will be provided by OmniVision (90 percent) and Sony (10 percent).

According to the report:

OmniVision has grabbed a majority of total CMOS image sensor (CIS) orders placed by Apple for the fifth-generation iPhone, market sources have claimed. Meanwhile, power amplifier (PA) supplier Avago Technologies has landed orders for the WCDMA version of the device for its first time, according to the sources.

About 90% of the CIS orders for Apple’s new iPhone will be supplied by OmniVision, while Sony takes up the remainder, the sources said. The upcoming device will feature a built-in 8-megapixel camera, the sources added.

Other iPhone 5 camera-related rumors involve a repositioned flash unit, which was previously hinted at by several “leaked” cases. These cases suggested that the flash unit would be moved to the other side of the iPhone, and would sit parallel to the camera unit.
