Hate to say I told you so but.....

I am very excited about this new development. I just hope Apple gives us a proper 2nd generation iPhone!

I think it's very likely, it's why I'm keeping my upgrade for the next generation. I don't want to be stuck in an 18 month contract this time when a more meaningful upgrade is probably coming.

probably a new iphone in 2010. might as well not buy an iphone at all

[enklined]

Ooooh yea, wow, no one saw this coming. A new version to a great product line? Thats never happened.

Here's another prediction: iPhone 3, by 2011.

Amazing...

Yeah ok. It's like a car the manufacturer screw up one year and you hope they get it right the next. If they make the right advancements I WOULD probably upgrade every time. Sorry if your unable to do that.

Personally I'm waiting for a REAL proper iPhone replacement: the 7th gen iPhone. It will be implanted into your brain and you'll be able to make calls by thinking.

Last sentence of the first rumor.

"Finally, the analyst [Maynard Um] points to additional iPhone colors to be launched in time for this year's holiday season as well as a brand new iPhone in the first half of 2009."

I'm pretty doubtful about this. first half of 2009? No wai, THe only possiblity would be a larger HD, but not a "new iPhone".

My biggest reason to doubt it is that it won't allow Apple to adequately hype it. THere just wouldnt be time to build the anticipation they built with the original iPhone and the 3G.

[impact_blue]

I'm sure they have a product road map for the iphone. First the colors, then a 32gb line next summer with a refreshed look. I honestly can't see them releasing something entirely new less than a year from now with the 3G selling faster than the EDGE iphone. They're gonna milk this current gen for all it's worth.

2008 is the year of the iphone for Apple. I think they'll bring back the focus to new macbooks and pros along with a new model [some sort of touch screen laptop or desktop?] in 2009.

[nippyjun]

As long as we can update our current phones w/ new firmware equal to what the new phone would have then i'm not that excited unless:

1. Battery life much better
2. Slimmer


I can't really think of other hardware changes that i would like.

I hear there is going to be a built in projector so that you can put it next to a white screen and watch movies.

Will the lines for the 3G iphone still be going on by the time a new iphone comes out? ;)

Exactly, once the hardware is deployed, its an all-software game from then on. Except for changing the appearance of the phone, I don't know what else they could add in between now and this time next year.

I don't think the iphone 3g hardware will be deprecated in the next 24 months. It's a safe time to buy.

Besides, wasn't that rumor for a smaller phone anyway? Not a full iphone I believe...

Threads like this make me long for September, when the kids are back in school...

[xploit]

I just don't understand the resistance to talk of a new iPhone. It makes perfect sense. Why would they stick to one model? You remember how long the MINI iPod lasted? The handset business is constantly changing and upgrading so this is not just possible it is almost a given. The only reason I can think of for people on this forum to NOT want to discuss this or to view it as a waste are those that simply feel marginalized by having already purchased the 3G. Give me a break. We should all be happy about a new model with new options. The users on this forum trouble me. They not only hate it when you post your gripes about the 3G they also get upset with the mere thought of a new and probably better model. What a small minded bunch you truly are. Go ahead wasteland my thread if it bothers you all so much.

[Inukami]

If this has the slightest truth it wont be a NEW iPhone, it i'll be just minor upgrade like the usual memory upgrade and possible better battery. Don't hold out for another new iPhone till 2010, probably 2011. ATT hasn't even covered 50% of the USA when it comes to 3G and probably won't be 100% operational for another 2 years. After that MAYBE they will consider phones with 4G and start the iPhone 4G. This iPhone will consist of 3G/4G must like the current iPhone 3G at which has EDGE and 3G.

[Mad Mac Maniac]

Memory? That's what I'm holding out for.

This is what it will probably be. "whole new iphone" is misleading and optimistic thinking. I think it'll just be another memory upgrade.

ipod touch.

Besides we're not talking about looks here, that would obviously not be a COMPLETELY NEW iPhone, we're talking about hardware. Also the iPhone is different from the regular product models and how they work. The iPhone upgrades every 2 years from what we have seen so far.

[xploit]

Yes I do hope that new iphone models come with less restrictions. Current legislation is in the works (in the USA) to remove the contrat associated with cell service. It use to be that they would make you sign for 1 or 2 years ONLY if you were taking advantage of price breaks. Now though even if you buy a phone outright they make you sign for 1 year (t-mobile).

Just to let you know signing off like that looks a bit self-important and ridiculous.

Anyway, I don't see it being completely overhauled in terms of the UI as Apple have spent a lot of time and money tweaking the current OS, which still is far from perfect. Hardware, who knows? Why the pointless sensationalist topic?

Your thread title:

"TOTALLY new iPHONE in 2009!!!!"

Aaahhhhhhh!!!! Run around in circles! Panic! Post over exaggerated thread titles!!!! NEW IPHONE! AAAAAHHHHHH!!!!



This is not an official announcement by any stretch.


Perhaps you should have used question marks rather than exclamations.

All i want is a 32gb iPhone.

[MBHockey]

I'm going to hold out for 2020...the iPhone that comes out then is going to absolutely crap on the iPhone 3G of today.

I have this information from a credible source. It was on the 14th page of a Google search I ran.

What a bunch of insecure people you really are. Don't read it then. It is on this site reported on this site and this is discussion about it. If you think that apple is gonna keep this one style of iPhone then good for you. I think there will be other models much like they market everything else.

Just wanted to congratulate you xploit. I’m pretty sure this thread in combination with all your other posts in the past couple months makes you the #1 MacRumors iPhone Forum troll (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29). You should be very proud of yourself.

[pj rage]

Of course there will be a new iphone next year, and the year after, and the year after ...

Next year will probably be a forward facing camera, bigger drives, better rear facing camera, better battery life, additional colors, and if something turns out to prevent this gen's GPS from working properly for turn-by-turn, a GPS improvement. The rest of it will probably be a 3.0 firmware. Hopefully next year's model doesn't change the processor so we can all upgrade to the latest and greatest firmware goodies.

It means I can sell my old phone for £210!!!!! (yep, you guessed it... eBay)

Funny, that's what many people think about you and your apparent lack of security in only owning the first gen iPhone and constantly calling the iPhone 3G "budget".

There's nothing to talk about. It's months away and there aren't even any rumored features on it yet.

[danny_w]

I think a totally new iPhone in 2009 is quite possible and even likely. The 3G iPhone really doesn't add anything to the original iPhone other than 3G and GPS; the new firmware works on both old and new models. I think the 3G iPhone is merely a stopgap measure until they can get out a real update next year.

I doubt it because many people who bought the iPhone 3G will get angry, it's just not realistic at all.

The main thing is that there just isn't anything to discuss. An analyst thinks there will be a new iPhone in 2009. Even if he is right (totally hit or miss with these "analysts") that could mean anything from a bigger hard drive (not all that unlikely), to a better camera (slightly less likely), to a completely different phone that is not supposed to replace the iPhone (very unlikely) to a total redesign (ridiculous). But the bottom line is that without any other information, there just isn't anything to discuss, it would just be us all making things out of thin air.

If you had something more than "(unknown analyst) thinks there might be a new iPhone in 2009.", then we might have someting to discuss.

[trunksu]

wow what a dumb thread. everyone knows there will be a new phone every year.

and this:

"Hate to say I told you so but.....

I am very excited about this new development. I just hope Apple gives us a proper 2nd generation iPhone!"

why not just wait till for the 4th gen phone etc. when you put comments like that no one will care about your post. why should they? what's sad is once the 3rd gen comes out, someone will prob post the same exact crap you just posted about waiting for the 4th gen.

[soberbrain]

There's nothing to talk about. It's months away and there aren't even any rumored features on it yet.

Agreed.

Also, xploit if you wanted a discussion try an opening question like "what features would you want on a 2009 iPhone"

The reason people wanted a link is to discuss the information.

It's difficult to engage discussion (but easier to be flamed) when you insult other people.

I'm in total agreement with this. I think the firmware updates are enough excitement for me. It's like getting a new phone every time!

As for the "slimmer" comment, I thought the 3G was already too slim. The 1st gen has a great solid feel but can be a bit slick at times. I had a touch before the iPhone and that was uncomfortably slim...

[Elven]

Waste of bandwidth.

[rhyx]

I suspect it will be just a memory upgrade (16GB becomes the "base")

There might be a better camera.

[hkftw]

When they come out with a 5G iPhone with true unlimited tethering and 10 MP camera, then let me know
Right now, I can't really think of any important features they could add that would justify my purchase a new iPhone in 2009

The only features I really want right now are only software limitations which can be fixed easily

No thanks
