When I compare my 16gb 3G vs a 32gb 3GS, the 3GS is much thicker then my 3G, so that begs the question; will the 32GB iPhone 4 be thicker than the 16GB?

Thanks.
 
Is there a way to only see posts by people with an IQ above 85?

If Google could write that search algorithm, they'd win the Internets.


Alternatively, more storage means it has to be physically larger. That's why computers from the 1970s and 1980s were so small -- they only had a few hundred kb of memory TOPS. Nowadays with gigabytes of memory computers are HUGE! Many of them take up entire warehouses!

You might have a point. That's 16 more GBs that they'll cram into the 32 GB model. Those little bits and bytes can take up precious real estate especially if they're those bulky video files.

:rolleyes:
 
The iPhone uses flash memory. Its not like the iPod classic that uses a older, spinning hard drive. Flash memory is small.

Your kidding me right? Computers were huge back then.
