The new version will also be significantly more affordable at $199 for the 8GB version and $299 for the 16GB version. The 16GB version will be offered in both black and white. In addition to being cheaper, the new iPhone will offer the ability to download unique applications to the phone ranging from free to $9.99. It also has improved battery life with 300 hours of standby, 8-10 hours of 2G talk, 5 hours of 3G talk, 7 hours of video, and 24 hours of audio. It will also come with an improved GPS system, which can pinpoint a users exact location at anytime.
