Clash of the iPhones: 1st Gen vs. 3G vs. 3GS vs. 4!

[ThE.MeSsEnGeR]

So, I tried to collect as many information as I could; and I did this really fast... I hope I didn't any mistake here or there.
I've attached the full table containing all details (know until now) about iPhone 4, in comparison to previous iPhone models. Personally, I'm drooling over iPhone 4! What do you all think?

NOTE:
- Cache and Graphics information are not available now, since the iFixit team still haven't got their hands on iPhone 4.
- I know the dual-mic is not a 'sensor' but I put it in that category, because it just didn't fit anywhere else.
- the color coding is based on how a feature was added/upgraded in that specific category, it goes from black to dark green (1st update in that category), to green (2nd update), to light green (third update)

Where did you determine the A4 was 1 GHz?

I just assumed they used the same as the iPad CPU... that's the only info that I put just by guessing..

Great job OP. Chart looks awesome.

Well, we know that the A4 is a 1GHz chip, just like we know the 3GS has an 800 MHz processor. I agree that if he's going to use the underclocked figures for the other versions he should leave this one as "Unknown."

thanks! I love doing this!

You should fix that. You're trying accurately to compare the models, and using the rated speed for the iPhone 4 and the actual clock speed for all the others is very misleading. I doubt very much they've run it at a full 1 GHz.

It's 600Mhz.

I fixed it but it's taking for ever to upload to imageshack! :S ill put it up ASAP!

BTW, I subscribed to your thread. It does put everything in one place nicely (as long as you fix the errors and unknowns).

Agreed, well done OP.

I fixed the errors and I'll post the remaining details and specs as soon as I know anything about them.

Agreed, well done OP.

Thanks!

does anyone know if Gizmodo determined the specs of the RAM, Cache and graphics of the iPhone that got leaked?

Looking at the battery figures, I feel bad the differences between the 3GS is not much. My 3GS has a battery life like a flea. I was hoping Apple would give us something better this time.

I believe it said in some tear down that it was 256MB in the lost iPhone, but we can't be sure until someone gets their hands on an actual product line unit.

Great job ! I love this comparison chart. It's interesting to see how far the iPhone has come in the last 3 years. You did an incredible job, and I appreciate it. I'd love to see one between iPhone 4 and the HTC EVO, the two phones I'm torn over. I'd love to see this thread stickied, very informative.

Great chart OP. Really informative and well laid out.

 

[ThE.MeSsEnGeR]

thanks a lot guys! well, I kinda like having everything well put out in front of me... so, I thought why not share it with you all!

 

[nikhsub1]

You know it has an 800Mhz processor?
It's 600Mhz.

I thought the 3GS does infact have an 800Mhz processor that is underclocked to around 600Mhz? That is what I remember but in no way state it as fact.

Great chart OP.

 

[asleep]

Like the chart, thx.

Hey everyone, I just updated the chart to include the newly found information about the RAM Memory on the iPhone 4, which now stands at a whooping 512MB; which is double the amount of the iPad's and the 3GS's RAM.

I must have missed a thread. Where did they say it was definitely 512? Also, didn’t you use to have the GHz for the processor for each phone?
