iPhone 3GS vs. iPhone 4 infographic

From the iPhone team at Mahalo, the iPhone 4 vs. iPhone 3G infographic does a good job covering the bases on what’s new about the new iPhone.  But Jason Calacanis asked at the end of the post “any ideas of how to improve?”  So I offer my infographic suggestions:

1. Visualize the data accurately.  It the battery section the bars shown are 8 bars for 5 hours and 12 bars for 7 hours.  Based on that scale, the 7 hours should only be 11.2 bars. Matching the numbers exactly with 5 and 7 bards would be easier for the readers to comprehend. The small bar chart in between is redundant.
2. Do something to visualize the increase in processor speed and RAM.  Don’t just list numbers.
3. Do something to visualize the megapixels of the camera, don’t just list the numbers.  A square showing the area covered by each resolution would be good.
4. Same with the screen resolution, do something to visualize how many more pixels or on the display
5. The 24% thinner looks like an after thought, make size and dimensions its own category
6. Don’t show 8GB, 16GB and 32GB memory cards all the same size.  Visualize the differences.

 What would you suggest as improvements?

Odd…I had published these same suggestions on Calacanis.com in the comments to the post of this infographic, and my comment was deleted.  Maybe Jason Calacanis didn’t really want to know how to improve it?  There aren’t any comment now, so maybe Jason should just turn off comments if he doesn’t want them.

UPDATE: I can see my comment, but others can’t.  It may be awaiting moderation.

That's my suggestion. Well besides tweaking one of your own. I think the size of the batteries is more important in the talk time section. if it's 5 hours and 7 hours shouldn't both batteries be full? Why is my full seven hours not a full battery? Maybe the batteries should have size differences that reflect the increase and perhaps 5 and 7 bars respectively.

Very clear and nice comparsion poster.

Also check your source on the 1GHz processor. The 600Mhz on the 3GS was really an 800MHz chip underclocked. We have no way of knowing yet whether the A4 has also been underclocked to, say, 800MHz.

The iPhone 4 has 256MB of RAM. This has been confirmed by looking at the markings on the CPU-RAM package.
The CPU is definitely not 1GHz. It's likely to be in the vicinity of 700-800MHz.
