32GB iPhone Advertised, 16GB End of Life'd?

Willis said:
As the iPhone only has room for one flash storage, not two like the iPod Touch, the max will only be 32GB until 64GB chips go into production.

You're assuming that the new iPhone will have a similar PCB layout as the previous generation(s). In fact, i'd expect the new iPhone to have a different layout, considering all the rumored changes. So there could be ways to squeeze a second chip in there, e.g. by stacking them (3D-mounting) or by making use of the other components (GSM, UMTS etc.) having been shrunk in the meantime as well.
Not saying it will be this way, but it does not necessarily have to stay the way with iPhone = 1 chip, iPod touch = 2 chips.

It is FAKE! Because t-mobile.at is only in GERMAN. BUT you can sen in pink line english word "NEW" and next the "picture" you can see words in German.
I THINK it is a FAKE!

Not necessarily. Marketing speech has brought quite some english expressions to german language. "New" is one of those examples. And the second line saying "Details und Kaufen" is considered perfect German.

What makes me wonder more is the fact that the 32GB version is listed with 0,- Euro. Usually a brand new device is not fully subsidized - at least not the top-of-the-line variation and especially not the iPhone (only a few months ago T-Mobile Germany started to offer 1,- Euro 16GB devices and only together with the most expensive plan).

Therefore they either completely change their former pricing approach on the iPhone or the 32GB variant is not the top model...

Even if this is true about the 32GB version, personally I just don't see why anyone would need that much space on their phone. But of course that is just a personal opinion.

I think its more of a "want" thing than "need". Do I really need 32GB? No. But I really want 32GB. :D

Didnt someone once say, "why would we ever need more than 640K of memory"?
 
I don't really see the point of dropping the 16 gig, I get why you would drop the 8, but the 16 doesn't make sense. Really looking forward to the 32 gig though. I'm fed up of having to decide what I put on and leave off my iPhone.
 
No kidding!

i think the question we all need to ask ourselves is...

'am i prepared to replace my iphone every summer...?'
Click to expand...


Tho, personally, when I get an iPhone this summer, I plan on hanging on to it till it's dead. Then get the G6 or whatever. I have just over 18GB of tunes, movies I'm probably only going to rent / pirate & delete, and no way I'd fillit up with apps & games. I think the thing is super sweet as is, so all the stuff coming this summer is just icing for me.
 
iTablet or iTouch

What would you think is the right name for the new Apple Net Book?

iTablet ir iTouch? :D:D:D
 
Gee... What's all the talk about wanting a 1 TB phone. Pipe dreams! 64gb is plenty.


One concern I have is the lit up back. It's got to be a battery drainer! (and a step back desgin wise with respect to other apple products)

Verizon, Sprint, T-Moble, etc all carry most of the same smart phones today....and they all charge roughly the same price for data access. So, when/if they get the iPhone, I think everone will still charge approximately the same price.

My thoughts exactly!

Apple opening up the iPhone to other carriers will have little or no effect on data plan pricing.

That may be very correct. OTOH - a tiered data plan might bring more customers in whoever the carrier - I'd add some family members but they are very low bandwidth users - can't justify all the $$$ for what little bandwidth I use and they would be even less.

My guess is that a combination of new features / functionality and tiered data plans will be needed to attract more customers - saturation of the market does occur at times.

Also - Apple will have to jump on the China market before other competitors have so many phones close in performance that.....:rolleyes:
 
My hope is that along with new iPhones, the iPod Touch get's an upgrade at the same time :cool:

I RT'd the news that MacTalk Australia Twittered out of excitement, at last there is some sign's that a new iPhone must be on its way!

Right now I would like 128GB. But the real sweet spot is one day having 256. Not for just media but iPhones at that point will have some serious graphic power. With that power comes deep games with great graphics which would increase game sizes to up to 5gb.

I hope that eventually we will have developed a strong enough data network that we can host all of our files in a "cloud" and just access them instantly when we need it, so we can eliminate the need for localized storage/lmitations. :)

Wasn't there talk earlier about a new iTunes that would allow you to stream and access your entire iTunes library on your iPhone or iPod Touch? If that ever happens, the capacity of the iPhone would become almost irrelevant, wouldn't it?

You can do it right now.

And share it it up to 30 friends. Works fine. Even on your Mac, PC, Linux as well as iPhone.

I know about that, I downloaded it the day it was released., but it always takes forever for me (I only can use EDGE), I would like to see something more instantaneous. But honestly I really don't need more than 32GB of hard drive space right now, so when I get upgraded to that, I will be satisfied for the time being. :)

i hope the 16gb stays, i dont need 32gb (or 8 really, its more a convenience) 8 & 32gb would be a stupid combination.

Well, if the other rumors are true:

The current, black 8GB iPhone 3G will drop to $99 and get the cheap(er) $20 a month data plan.

The new, 3rd gen iPhone will come in 16GB and 32GB at $199 and $299 respectively.

Makes sense to me, if they're not EOL'ing the 8GB 3G.

Is this basically $99 for phone and $20 for the online access and pay as you go? Pardon the dumb q, i'm not up to par with Iphone and the latest phone service plans....Is this supposed to come out at WWDC? When do you think?
I actually lost my phone very recently and the timing sounds good. ;)

I don't know whether anyone has mentioned this but surely this post/rumour can't be true and doesn't add any substance to the New Iphone rumour!!!

Why would Aussie T Mobile know that was a new Iphone this summer - If they new every other iphone carrier company would know - therefore we would know

This is surely a typo is someone trying to wind people up!!!
Click to expand...

First T-Mobile is Austrian(no Kangaroo) Carrier not AustRALian

second probably all the iPhone carrying telephone companies would have received some info about update but some may be better at keeping it a secrete better than the others.

and on the matter of EOL, both Australian Vodafone & Optus is doing a special deal(49$ for 24mnth) on 8GB iPhone so it seems like 8GB is virtually EOLed as well(and I was kind of wondering what was happening to 16GB and this is what happened....):apple:
 
More Space = Me Happy

I always seem to find things to fill my iPhone whether it is videos, music, pictures, or other things.

I am willing to pay whatever it costs to upgrade the size
 
Wake me when it's 1 TB

I was waiting for a 32gb. That all I wanted out of it so I can carry all my music around and still have plenty of space left over. Can't wait for the new iphone
Click to expand...


My music directory is over 500 GB. Recently went on a long trip, and only had about a 30 GB slice on an SD card with me.

It was frustrating that I could only choose from that small slice....

No reason there can't be a more expensive and / or a slightly thicker iPhone with two memory slots. We could have a 64 GB iPhone in June with two memory slots and slightly thinker for $399. I wish I had that option, but Apple is way too stuborn to ever increase the thickness of a device, even if just slightly. In any case, we really need more capacity in this device, even if it means putting a harddrive in there with less battery life. I'd love to have some OPTIONS.

Except that the iPhone 3G is thicker than the 1st gen iPhone. I personally hope for the 64GB version too (let's keep our fingers crossed)
 
my 16 broke (was out in the rain 6 months before, water sensor triggered, applecare sadness) and i'm back on my 2G....

i am SO READY for a 32.
