Guys, I have a member of the family who works at Apple and he just sent me screenshots of a prototype of the upcoming iPhone. As you can see, it will be available in red to suit their product red promotion. It looks pretty decent actually!!!

I've noticed a few things :

- There are now 2 buttons at the bottom

- The camera is facing you

- The Apple logo WILL glow

- The back contains a small transparent plastic piece which enables you to see the interior of the iPhone. Pretty badass!

- Strangely though, it wasn't designed in Califnornia... Is Apple expanding in other States ? Is Apple moving away from California because they had too much trouble in the past with schwarzenegger?

- There are now 2 speakers at the top for you to hear the conversation better

Let the speculation begin...!

That looks nothing like an iPhone. The iPhone pic I got is legit:

If these get announced tomorrow anyone have an idea of when they'd go on sale? (going from previous apple unveilings?)

I'm over in the states just now until the 25th of June.

Was looking at buying an iPod Touch, then decided to consider an iPhone, buy it unlocked. I'm on a monthly rolling contract back Home with unlimited web usage, so I'd be able to use my sim with an unlocked iPhone.

I'd really like to get 32GB of space you see, as I'd be using it for music as well and 16GB isn't that much for me.

I'm also considering it as just before I came on holiday my current phone was put through the washing machine :laugh: In a rush to get things washed for packing I accidently washed it. Not tried turning it on yet, I put it in the boiler cupboard and it's there till I come home.

I have a feeling it won't work though.

edit: Also, how long did it take for the iPhone when first released to be unlocked? Even if the new iPhone's released tomorrow go on sale say next week I probably wouldn't buy one unless it could get unlocked pretty shortly after... if that's a problem I might just see if the 16GB 3G's come down in price over the next week or so.

I'm guessing it'll come out on the 29th of this month.

The anticipation is killing me!

I dunno how Apple do it, making sure that there are no leaks. I mean there is not one solid leaked photo out there that might resemble what the new iPhone will look like. A very tight unit.

Nevertheless, I have been wanting an iPhone for a while but the current 3G hasn't quite fit the bill (mainly software). Hopefully it'll live upto my expectations.

Anyone know what time the keynote will begin UK time (GMT)?

Will there be a live stream tomorrow?
No, just liveblogs like Gizmodo or Engadget

I'm not so sure. For the last few keynotes, the video versions were online within a few hours. So maybe sometime around 19:00 - 20:00 EDT (if not sooner), the feed could be up.

Still, can't wait to give 3.0 a shot. ;)

    • Windows 11 is now five years old

      By bikeman25 · Posted

      Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again

      To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
