It's been a while since we've seen an Apple rumor, but here's one for you to quench your thirst; MacRumors has posted what appears to be specifications (rumored, might we add) of the inevitable upcoming iPhone.The post originally comes from a Chinese website and forum, and the poster has no current credibility in the world of rumors, so be skeptical. They posted an image, found below:
It shows a model number of "MB717LL", a new one, as well as revealing 32GB of storage space. Again, the poster is not exactly a reliable one, but the specifications (listed below) seem to bode well with all previous rumors.
"- 600MHz CPU Speed (up from 400MHz)
- 256MB RAM (up from 128MB)
- Digital Compass and FM
- 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus
- 32GB size
- No major changes in battery, screen and external casing."
All this seems like it would be fairly accurate, but only time will tell. According to MacRumors, Weiphone has been a source of numerous Apple leaks, including the unibody MacBooks and MacBook Pros.
On a side note, it'll improve the ability to recognise barcodes for apps like pic2shop.
Yeah tend to agree there - though cameras are the least used with phones when I have them, but then again I'm a nerd who carries round my Canon and Nikon!
And the exact name is AT&T[space]3.5 and not AT&T3.5 ...
That's a good point if its definitely that way. But Chinese does not equal in China (apart from in certain places of the world who are taught that is how things should be)
theres always a con to everything.
That said, an upgrade like this is brilliant for Apple, even if they haven't pulled out all the stops to make the spec as high as possible (if this source is to be believed).
A 30GB phone.
I'm sure that's practical.
Get a grip you Apple obsessed people.
Do you really want your primary music player to be the same thing as the communication tool that you actually depend on and can get you in trouble if you are not able to pick up?
It's really not such an amazing hassle to carry something as small as a Nano in one pocket and a decent flip/slider phone in the other.
But in response to the original poster...yes, I wouldnt mind having them as a single device. Not everyone works or goes into situations where they can't have a phone. Infact I can't recall the last time i wasn't allowed a phone on me besides a Uni exam and I wouldnt have been allowed a nano either. besides, a nano doesn't have the same multimedia capabilities as an iPhone.
No, that's true. But it's more practical to not have to carry that Nano. Surely you must agree unless you forgot your brain in your bed this morning?
So it's better to control the storage space on the phone to control the users behavior? We can't trust them in knowing how much music they'll play? Yes, maybe they'll now start going nuts with it and keep playing their 30 GB's of music, and only music, and keep draining their batters, not knowing what is going wrong like a herd of sheep.
Personally I think users will use their phones so that they can still call with them, and many would be happy to have the extra storage space for music, and other things. Personally I often use my extra space to even store non-phone stuff, like PC applications. Making this a replacement for not only a Nano, but also an USB stick.
Are you for real? Of course I want them to be the same thing - anything that means I don't have to carry multiple devices around with me is a major bonus.
If you know you DEPEND on extended battery life you probably won't buy an iPhone, or if you do really want one, but you're expecting critical calls, you won't load it up with music and listen to it for 8 hours and then get upset at not having enough battery life to take a call.
It's not rocket science. They're catering to the majority of people who might not depend on mobile phones and would prefer to consolidate their mobile devices.
I know for definate that my Nano never leaves my flat now that I've got my iPhone.
If you had read your post, you'd realise how stupid it is. Here's a summarised version:
Compared to having 2 devices, having a phone which doubles as a music player, is not practical and more of a hassle.
I'm sorry but I'm finding it very hard not to call you an idiot. Don't forget that as well as music, and pictures and videos, more and more larger-sized apps are coming out. Take Myst for instance. (But you'll probably argue that I should carry a phone, PSP/DS and a Nano, right?)
A 32GB iPhone would be great. A 64GB (reasonably priced) one would be perfect.
You can already use the iPhone as a portable drive.
Can we unlock the downclock?
next month, June. someone correct me if I'm wrong?
My battery seems fine. Do you have an installed app thats a bit buggy. I used to have Twitterific installed and even when not running it drained my battery literally within a day. Deleted the app and everything is fine now.
News and forums should be able to double up.
Well thats a cert
