Next iPhone Release date.

Someone has said that the last few iPhones have all been released in July. I am wondering if the next iPhone will also be released in July. Does anyone have any information on this?

Thanks.

 

Apple NEVER tells you anything about release of there products until they are released. But yes the last two iPhones have been released in June/July.

 

However theres not a big reason to re-release the iphone now.
No major technological advances they will want to incorp and a waste of money in R&D releasing a new phone every year especially in the current economic climate.
They might release a new revision with larger capacity but don;t expect anything.

 

I dont think the newer iphone would be much better :/

And I predict that it will be released in july

 

They will probably go to 32 gb.

 

Bluetooth capable of doing more things than just using a headset would be something to "add", even though the technology is still there, they have crippled it for some reason. It's the only thing keeping me from getting it.

Tethering, as it's called, is perfectly OK in europe, but apparently not in the US.

 

not sure where heard that from mate but its not true. they dont allow it in the UK either unless you jailbreak the iPhone.

 

I just upgraded from 2G to 3G and for 199 its worth it.

 

the rumors say dual core ARM processor, higher cap. flash, and a higher res screen.

 

Well, me and Steve took a walk today, and he revealed to me that iPhone2 should be released sometime during the summer.


I just had too. I know its unoriginal.

 

And a better quality camera with flash from what people discern from the supposedly leaked rear case pictures. Apparently iPhone is also returning to a matte metal/plastic rear casing. Again these are just rumors/expectations based on leaked case pictures.

 

Technically iPhone v2 was released in 2008. iPhone v3 will be the next version.

 

Actually, Apple dubbed the iPhone 3G as iPhone v. 1.5 in all of its scripts. iPhone v. 2.0 will indeed be the next version.

 

Oooo....sorry, try again. The iPhone 3G is v1.2 by Apple firmware standards.....however in all respects it's the 2nd generation iPhone (coincides with v2.0 firmware), and the 3rd generation iPhone which will have v3.0 firmware.

 

You just reiterated my point. Although 3G may be cosidered second generation its still version 1.2. Your original quote was that the current iPhone 3G was version 2.0, which its not.

iPhone 2G = first generation = v. 1.0/v. 1.1 (both version numbers have appeared)
iPhone 3G = second generation = v. 1.2
iPhone "3Gb" (i.e. next release of the iPhone) = third generation = v. 2.0/v.2.1 (both version numbers have appeared)

The reference to the v. 2.0/2.1 iPhone has already appeared in Apple scripts.

 

Christ i wish i was a programmer at apple.
I'd write comment lines in all their scripts
</><> 10.10.10 Initiate Apple Destruction Sequence, Whiskey, Tango, Foxtrot, to ensure destruction of apple technology and bring about the second coming of Jobs <></>
Just to let the fan's decipher it and pledge their allegiance to the one true maker of everything shiney.

 

I think you misunderstood me. It's not allowed in the U.S which is the likely cause to why Apple decided to cripple the iPhone, rendering bluetooth almost useless. However, I see no reason why the iPhones sold in Europe should have this restraint since tethering is allowed here.

I didn't say you can do it with the iPhone, but you can do it with any other bluetooth phone, and there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to do it with the iPhone.

 

Do you mean there? as in the EU? or the US?
sorry i still dont get you. you mean you cant tether any mobile phones in the US at all?

 

The cell phone carriers in the US do not let you tether with any phones with a normal data plan, through USB or Blue tooth connection. You usually have to buy a special plan and a USB card.

 

I currently have an iPhone 3G.. but my next phone will probably be the new Sony Ericsson Idou

Semantics

You're right. Does that make you feel better? Now run along and feel proud as a peacock.

 

Its not semantics its nomenclature. Honestly, I get more than enough satisfaction from my job saving people's lives so I really don't need to "feel proud as a peacock" on a virtual Internet forum. Thanks for your comment though.

The point is to set the record clear and prevent misinformation from being spread around the boards.

Good day!

 

Obviously you need to have some sort of ego stroking otherwise you wouldn't have brought this up.

There's no misinformation here. If you want to take the literal firmware version and call the next iPhone V2, feel free. In reality however, and as far as the general public is concerned, the next iPhone incarnation will be V3. People will see that it's running OS3.x and automatically associate it with being the 3rd version, just like right now everyone associates the 3G iPhone as V2 because it is running OS2.x.

 

I didn't know we judged product versions by the firmware. I thought it went by how they where released. Guess I was wrong.

 

I am not taking the literal firmware version. The model version 2.0,2.1 appears on ATT logs of the supposed "new" iPhone as well (i.e. their logs of iPhone usage on their networks) If Apple has called the to-be-released iPhone, version 2, then its version 2, even though its a 3rd generation product. No one is arguing that this is a 3rd generation release of the iPhone. I believe that the case is settled.

 

No, generally speaking you are right. Apple however decided to call their 2nd generation iPhone the iPhone 3G hence leading to a lot of confusion in nomenclature. When I say the iPhone is v.1.2, v.1.2 does not refer to the firmware, but rather to Apple's nomenclature for hardware identification of the iPhone. According to Apple:

Original iPhone = v.1.0, v.1.1
iPhone 3G = v.1.2
Next-gen iPhone 3G = v.2.0, v.2.1

ATT's network usage identifiers also correspond to this nomenclature format. In fact this is how it is know n that the next-gen iPhone 3G is already in the wild, being tested. Most of the v.2.0,2.1 sitings have actually happened in California. (I wonder why.... )

 

Oh and for the record, my original point was to simply respond to your cynical implication, but you seem to use that connotation to re-interpret the same. I can't help you there...

 

The general public is going to look at the next iPhone incarnation as V3 simply because they won't care to be involved in a semantic/nomenclature debate, nor will they care what network identifier that it uses.

My point remains valid, otherwise you wouldn't have used such a dramatic example of where you get your satisfaction from. If you can't see it, I can't help you there...

 

I used the example because its the truth.

For the rest of you who are interested, the following link shows a comparison of the current rear iPhone cover and what supposedly may be the next generation. It looks like Apple might be favoring a return to the matte finish:
