3G iPhone: What We’ve Heard So Far

May 19, 2008
3g iphone?

Could this actually be the 3G iPhone? Maybe.

The iPhone doesn’t cost three g’s, but it’ll soon support 3G. Ok – that was seriously lame – and with that, I bring to you… The 3G iPhone: What We’ve Heard So Far.

It all started when AT&T’s CEO Randall Stephenson blurted out this when asked about the possibility of a 3G iPhone:

You’ll have it next year.

It was obvious we would get a 3G iPhone eventually, but this statement just backed up everything we’d been hearing. After this, the interweb went shit-stirringly mental, with stories popping up daily about how awesome the next-gen i(jesus)Phone is going to be.

So time went on, and we entered “next year” – as to be expected, the rumours were coming in from left and right. There are so many of these rumours its become pretty hard to keep track of what has been said – here’s what we’ve heard so far…

  • 3G Support (holy shit batman) with the ability to fall back to Edge.
  • GPS – you know, for actual tracking. None of this cell tower malarkey which to this day still displays my house being in the middle of a nearby fucking lake.
  • Video Chat Mirror Thing; Kevin Rose brought this up in a recent episode of Diggnation – apparently he has an ‘inside guy’ who has told him the camera on the iPhone will be in the same place it is now, except it will be ‘like a mirror’ where it can record from either end, so that you can do voice calls and all that cool stuff. Interesting.
  • Avaliable in all black or all white. No more aluminium back. Nice and glossy.
  • Faster CPU, more memory.
  • Reports of a larger screen by Intel; possibly confusion, as most other rumours out there state the screen is the same size.

So there you have it; that’s what we know so far. Obviously, none of this is confirmed, but most of it may as well be.
