iphone - new model?

[DeadlyAkkuret]

Yeah my girl is a little "brand happy" when it comes to accessories like these, but not as much as some so she'd probably love the Pre. I read somewhere that other providers will have the iPhone in 2010, is this true?

 

[weevil]

Even with that pompous voiceover I doubt it will outsell the iPhone.

Just to be clear that is not a Pre marketing video, it was done by a 'review' site. Obviously they are trying to drum up controversy.

No one is seriously suggesting the Pre is going to outsell the iPhone.

The Pre definitely has some pretty cool features though, I would love Apple to integrate some of them especially multitasking, but I can't see that happening.

Not too sure about that, i wouldn't be surprised if iPhone 3 had multitasking.

The contract with AT&T was extended until 2010. It may or may not be extended again. At this stage no one knows.

i doubt it. for some reason i think hardware might be an issue regarding multitasking. often i've crashed apps by playing music while they're running.. might be some sort of memory issue..

 

[DeadlyAkkuret]

I could be way off, but wouldn't you imagine Apple would make more money if they branched out to other providers?

 

[weevil]

Yeah but who says the new hardware will have the same problem?

 

[Nardz]

well iphone 3.0 is also made for current hardware..

Not if the 1 provider offers them a massive OTT deal to keep them exclusive.

That is the software update. It is expected they are going to announce new hardware next week.

Of course, well it must be huge! lol. When it comes to keeping something as popular as the iPhone all to yourself, money probably isn't much of an issue for AT&T. Those bastards!

Yeah it must be absolutely massive. Apple are bending them over big time, but AT&T keep coming back for more.

Nice photos bonz, but Steve Jobs would rather rot in PC hell than make a phone that comes with an external antenna...

Gotta love the fake Chinese copies

Apple would surely still have to make more by teaming with Verizon, the biggest provider in the US. The only consideration would be the cost of adding CDMA support to the iPhone, but the benefits would surely outweigh that cost.

Yeah that is the thing, it means so much to AT&T that they will take a hit themselves to stop Verizon getting their hands on the the phone.

Apparently they made Apple a deal they could not refuse.

Looks interesting

Pre doesn't sync with iTunes anymore, since 8.2 came out. At least that's what they think

Gizmodo reporting that it still works. Can't expect it will last forever.

 

[Ferris_rules]

New Iphone will be announced on Monday US Time.

Guaranteed.

From what I have heard two models 16GB and 32GB, with 3.2MPX camera, back cover has matte finish to it to enable better grip and apple icon glows when in use, battery life is 1.5X more than original.

I've heard they're coming out with a budget model?

Yup I think those are the biggest rumours going around. Also a compass is a pretty safe bet as well.

Going to be extremely interesting to see what they come up with.

Doubt it'll be possible, but if I'm on a plan with an 8GB iPhone, do you reckon I'd be able to upgrade it to one of the new 32GB models? If it involved re-signing the contract for another 24 months that'd be all good, but mine isn't due to expire for some time so I was wondering if I'd be able to upgrade now?

Plan = contract
Contract = the immovable object

 

[Nardz]

they can often be negotiated.. but usually u have to be spending alot more than ur minimum spend to be considered..

What you should do is sell your current iPhone for ebay, there are plentty of suckers out there who are oblivious to the fact a new one is coming out and will pay top dollar for it. Use that as rebate for buying the new one.

as surprised as you may think this is sadly true.

a 5 minute google search will tell you there is a new iphone about to be released, personally the current iphone is CRAP IMO.

"I expect Apple to announce updated iPhones with significantly faster processors, twice the RAM, and twice the storage. I expected prices to remain the same as the current lineup: $199/299 for 16/32 GB, respectively. The video camera is going to be a major selling point."

thats US dollars

I wonder how it will be till we get it in Australia should be July !?

I can live with that, but later like September onwards may be a little hard.......
