More iPhone-Related Announcements Tomorrow?

MacRumors · Jun 28, 2007, 04:52 PM

We've heard some unconfirmed rumblings that Apple may be set to reveal two more announcements related to the iPhone on its launch day (tomorrow). The source is uncertain what these announcements could entail, or whether they concern already-leaked information (i.e. .Mac iPhone RSS Reader).

Of course, Apple has yet to announce iTunes 7.3, which is a requirement for the iPhone. One rumored feature of iTunes 7.3 is the ability to make iTunes custom ringtones, although this has since been disputed by ThinkSecret.

I can't wait to get this iPhone craziness behind us and get down to some Mac announcements.

Gimme. Gimme. Gimme.

All future Mac announcements will be delivered only via one's iPhone.

(Kidding.)

Maybe Apple will release HD movies on iTunes 7.3?

Of course they are... I just bought 5 tv shows in prep for my iPhone

Well the original Apple set-up video site showed 8 tabs in iTunes.Then MacRumors folks started posting all over about it then Apple changed it back to 6 tabs so I'm guessing 2 more things will be announced tomorrow.

What..I don't know..

I do know iTunes 7.3 is required so..

benspratling · 05:21 PM

So today I made a reservation with a Mac genius at the genius bar and asked about the ringtones. He response was "I don't know." "We'll find out tomorrow." Followed by some smiling. At least that means Steve will say something tomorrow. (Crossing fingers)

Yes, at 11:59 PM Steve Jobs will announce that every iPhone sold will, thanks to it's built-in internet capabilities, switch over to iDominate mode allowing Steve to control the world!

bdj21ya · Jun 28, 2007, 08:48 PM

You can tell that even MacRumors forum readers are getting weary now--so few predictions or comments on such an open ended thread!

Here, I'll offer this: 80 GB iPhone announcement tomorrow at 12:00 PM Pacific Time!!! And a camera in the home button!!!

Sorry, just some of the more ridiculous ideas put forward during this craziness.

miketcool · Jun 28, 2007, 09:16 PM

No 3G in iPhones + no bluetooth modem for iPhones = 3G cards, or a BTO 3G MacBook Pro in the near future!

miketcool · Jun 28, 2007, 09:17 PM

How can Apple not afford to unveil something insanely great tomorrow with so many possible switchers entering stores with the hype. Tomorrow will ultimately go to a secret Mac that has enjoyed the focus on the phone and not the rest of the family. Its a gimmick, look over hear at the birdy....

mi5moav · Jun 28, 2007, 10:33 PM

I think we will all be pleasantly suprised tomorrow... or your money back.

RSS - possible
Ringtones - highly likely
Skype, Jah-Jah - no clue
Itunes Video Rentals - Doubtfull

I still think Steve has one more thing to pull out of his hat tomorrow.

Yeah, so much so that Asar's amazing idea isn't getting nearly enough attention. My favorite announcement for tomorrow would have to be that THIS is already an included feature (not going to happen, I know, but here's hoping for a software update soon).

mi5moav · Jun 28, 2007, 11:17 PM

gotohamish · Jun 29, 2007, 12:23 AM

I think Ringtones, and possibly an Adobe Flash plugin.

I just typed "ringtone" in the music store and a bunch of them popped up for .99 cents each.

Hmm, that has definitely changed from earlier. Now there are a bunch of things from "Captain Audio", supposedly released 5/1/07.

bdj21ya · Jun 29, 2007, 01:16 AM

I think this Captain Audio stuff is a pretty clear sign that ringtones are coming tomorrow. But did these just appear today?

Search "Captain Audio", you'll have better luck.
