< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence The iPhone, Reborn
HERE'S THE MESSIAH YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR Slightly thinner phone In a nice touch of theatricality, Jobs had two guys wearing lanyards and badges take a locked metallic box containing the iPhone into a secure room before they carefully placed the box on a table and removed it. Oh, and about the phone: It's three times faster than the old iteration. It'll have GPS. The battery life is better. It's thinner. The bigger model (16GB) comes in white. It'll work in 70 more countries. (Spain! Japan! Canada! But still not China or Russia.) There will be a whole new slew of ads scored with catchy pop ballads that'll remain lodged in your brain for weeks. Did we mention it's only $199? Say what you want about the cult of Apple and how obnoxious its acolytes are [The cult of Apple is appalling, and its obnoxious acolytes are trend-sucking whores—Ed.], but it's only going to get bigger.
