Apple yesterday announced that its new iPhone will come with a battery providing eight hours of talk time.
The long awaited new offering from Apple - which combines an iPod, a mobile phone and remote internet access - has already attracted a lot of attention from consumers, with one survey estimating that 6.9 million Britons are interested in buying one.
Now, less than a fortnight before iPhone's American launch, Apple has chosen to announce that it has made some improvements to the specification originally announced in January.
The main one is a longer lasting battery, which will allow 24 hours of audio playback, eight hours of talk time, six hours of internet use and 250 hours of standby time.
Additionally, the top surface of iPhone will now be made from optical quality glass instead of plastic in order to help prevent the display becoming scratched.
After announcing the changes, Apple supremo Steve Jobs claimed: "There has never been a phone like iPhone, and we can't wait to get this truly magical product into the hands of customers."
iPhone goes on sale in the USA on June 29th, but the European release date is still to be confirmed.
