Fariz, It's Me

Biaya Apple untuk membuat iPhone 4G diperkirakan hanya sebesar US $ 175 atau sekitar Rp.1.6 juta untuk satu unit. Tetapi dengan biaya produksi lebih murah biaya daripada 3Gs iPhone, apakah harga pasar dari iphone di Indonesia akan tetap mahal?

Ya, seperti yang kita tahu 3Gs iPhone di Indonesia dengan 16 Gigs sekarang masih di sekitaran Rp.7.000.000. Jika kita melihat dari masa lalu sepertinya tidak sesederhana itu. Karena, menurut pernyataan Jeffrey Brown, VP dari Intel Bisnis, saat perakitan 3GS iPhone, Apple hanya menghabiskan US $ 157, biaya pembuatan 4G iPhone US $ 175, sehingga 4G iphone lebih mahal adalah US $ 18.
Apakah akan lebih mahal daripada harga 3Gs iphone sekarang? Mungkin, jika kita melihat kasus  3Gs bahwa pembuatan hanya menghabiskan US $ 157,  kita membeli US $ 800 di Indonesia.

oke mari kita memeriksa komponen yang menggunakan untuk membangun iphone, ini merujuk dari Detik.com.

dan ini adalah prediksi harga iPhone 4G

16GB: $ 175
32GB: $ 200

Bagaimana harga iPhone 4G di Indonesia, mungkin sekitar 10 juta untuk “harga jual awal” di Indonesia (-__-). Bahkan saat ini mulai banyak beredar iPhone 4G yang sudah di jailbreak dengan kisaran harga 13-15 juta.

jika kita melihat dari harga komponen, sangat murah untuk telepon berteknologi tinggi seperti iPhone 4G. Pertanyaannya adalah, mengapa perbedaan antara harga pembuatan dan harga jual yang jauh?
Itu karena Apple membutuhkan riset untuk mengembangkan produk, dan juga ada biaya yang dikeluarkan untuk pemasaran, distributor, impor dan ekspor ke negara-negara lain, sehingga memiliki harga mahal.

Information has been leaked from a source inside AT&T regarding the new iPhone. The source who is “pretty high up in AT&Ts food chain” provided the following information to the BoyGeniusReport.

- New iPhone announcement around mid-June
- New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device (could be just talking about 3.0, but we think it’s also a new iPhone)
U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)
- The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.”
- Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.
- AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.
- Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going… uh, k?
- They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone. Ok, bets on slide out QWERTY, autofocus camera, video sharing, blah blah?
- Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.
- The $99 3G netbook will start selling this summer, and the first one won’t be a Windows OS.

Apple has announced many new features in iPhone OS 3.0; however, only developers currently have access to the new software. However many of these features are available via free and paid apps found either in Cydia or the App Store.

Gizmodo has posted a nice list of features and associated applications which you can see below. You likely will need to jailbreak your iPhone before continuing.

Cut and Paste: Clippy (Cydia, Free while in Beta)
Apple’s ridiculously delayed cut and paste solution looks slick. Slicker than Clippy, the best unofficial C+P solution, which still gets the job done though.

GPS Turn-by-Turn: xGPS (Cydia, Free)
xGPS does use Google’s Maps, and does turn-by-turn brilliantly with active GPS tracking.

Tethering: iPhoneModem/PDANet (Cydia, Free)
Tethering via these jailbreak solutions works in the meantime, but be careful with how much data you use to not raise any eyebrows at the Death Star.

Email Multiple Photos: Emailpix (App Store, $US3)
Emailpix does it fairly smoothly, though, and gives you a choice of resolution to send to save time.

Bluetooth File Transfer: iBluetooth (Cydia, Free 15-day trial)
iBluetooth lets you pair with your computer to send and receive files. It’s kind of buggy, but does work

Universal Search: Search (Cydia, Free)
It doesn’t search your applications or your iTunes music like the 3.0 version, but Search is great for the most valuable searching situation: email. It also searches contacts, notes, SMS and the web.

Accelerometer Controls: mCoolPhone (Cydia, Free Trial/$3)
While mCoolPhones can’t touch your iTunes functionality, it lets you assign shake events to various other phone functions, like answering calls.

Notes Sync: iPhoneNotes (Mac-only desktop App, Jailbreak required. Free)
To pull off native notes sync, make sure you have OpenSSH installed on your jailbroken phone and grab iPhoneNotes, which will import all of your notes and also sync back any text file you have on your computer.

Background Apps/Push Notifications: Backgrounder (Cydia, Free)
You can use Backgrounder to force official App Store apps to keep running even when you switch away to another app. It’s great for keeping IM apps open and signed in while you do other things.

Landscape Keyboard: iRealSMS (Cydia, €10) and EasyWriter (App Store, Free)
For email, try the free EasyWriter App Store app, and for SMS, there’s iRealSMS, which also adds a number of other features for hardcore texters like quick-replying and advanced sorting.

MMS: SwirlyMMS (Cydia, $8) and Get MMS (App Store, $4)
The best is SwirlyMMS, but even that doesn’t work very well with AT&T’s MMS provider
Get MMS, on the other hand, makes receiving MMS messages via AT&T’s annoying web interface a little easier. It takes a screengrab of the login and password AT&T sends, and lets you save the attached video or photo.

Voice Memos: Epiphany (App Store, $2)
We love Epiphany, which buffers its recordings and only goes back in time to grab the important parts when you tell it to.

Adding Features Still Missing From iPhone 3.0:
- Video Capture: Cycorder (Cydia, Free)
- Flash: iMobileCinema (Cydia, Free)

Reports from a reliable AppleInsider source state that the next-gen iPhone will have a Video Camera, as well as some other hardware changes. This does support thescreenshot found in the 3.0 beta firmware.

If in fact these rumors are true, we would likely see a Movie Editing App for the iPhone, with trimming like capabilities like the current voice memo app. And with AT&T boosting 3G speeds, could we see video files being transferred over the 3G network? Only time will tell.

Details are few and far between, but the information comes from a person who’s proven extremely reliable when predicting changes to the Cupertino-based company’s hardware offerings.

At this time, there’s no information to suggest that video recording support will be available through anything other than a upgraded rear-facing camera that will, of course, also take still photos at a higher resolution.

The addition, however, is reportedly just one of several hardware related tweaks that will surface in iPhone revisions due sometime between late spring and early fall. Another, that same person says, will be a significant boost to gaming hardware (likely via Imagination’s new multi-core PowerVR chips).

Video recording support has stood as one of the most glaring omissions from the iPhone since its inception two years ago, but the understanding is that Apple wants to get the feature “right.”
