Yesterday Apple unveiled a next-generation iPhone with faster Internet access that will run on advanced wireless networks and it's said that it will sell for as low as $199. Tim Bajarin who is the head of consultancy Creative Strategies said that 'It changes the game for all smart-phone makers,'

It's said that wireless network companies will no longer have to pay Apple part of the subscription fees they get from iPhone users, but instead will have to subsidize the devices up front to make them cheaper.

Tim Cook who is Apple's chief operating officer said that 'The vast majority of agreements we have reached do not have those follow-on payments, so you can conclude that the vast majority of carriers do provide subsidies for the phone'.

The improved e-mail features for the new iPhone are intended to woo business people, while its ability to run on faster networks is key to Apple's push to gain market share in Europe and Asia. Steve Jobs said that 'It's amazingly zippy, the new iPhone looks similar to the old one but with glossy black or white plastic in place of a metal back cover, loads Internet pages 2.8 times faster than the original.

Will you be getting the new iPhone on the 11th July?
