3G iPhone preview at WWDC, Release July 11 - Who, When Where, What, Why & how much

Wow I actually got excited until I saw the first article and realized it said 2007!! and then the second article said 2007!! you guys gotta check dates first lol, ya'll are gettin antsy for nothing (well the iPhone is only weeks away)
 
It's a Bank Holiday weekend, so i'll be out a while. (A Nokia N73 is not macrumors friendly). Saladiro, this 's for you ;) We're here to fact check and help out :)

AT&T - ready in 275 markets by July

[url]http://apple20.blogs.fortune.cnn.com/2008/05/22/att-3g-network-will-be-ready-in-275-markets-by-june-30/

The annoying thing? HSDPA and HSUPA speeds of 1.4 Mbps and 500-800 kbps respectively. But, you have got to wonder, if AT&T rates their EDGE network at up to ~240kbps, but the actual throughput is ~50-90 kbps range

I think Walt mossberg did a piece on this - taking router manufacturers to task - the difference between stated possible speeds and actual speeds. Even if your wireless laptop is sitting next to the 801.11b/g/n router.
Cable still owns (well, that's what I say to myself when I have to use a 20m RJ45 cable as the Belkin router craps out.

No radio transmitter then...I guess

Thank you…...

ahhhh yeaa, good mooring also...a bank holiday it is....and I too plan to leave early (and all those who work in finance)....

..ok....so I got a solid 8 1/2 hours sleep, so no hallucinations or mistaken iPhone web searches today (I did have a dream I went to lunch with the new iPhone…just kidding)

I feel good today….

So…since I like to prepare early for the new release….

Simple silly question…..


I want to buy one of those protective rubbery skins for my new iphone….good or bad idea?
(guestimating the size will pretty much be the same, perhaps a millimeter thicker…based on recent discussions…..):cool:
 
I have a rubber skin for my iPhone, and I love it. It really is a good protector, the phone dropped a couple times while the case was on the iPhone got no effects at all. The only thing is, is that there is a piece on the back for a swivel clip, and I don't use the clip so basically there is a piece of annoying plastic on the back.

But I do like the case and the iPhone still looks sexy and gets noticed.

do u think it will fit on the new one
 
It's not going to fit

saladiro,
If you are referring to the Invisible Shield, Bodyguardz-type wraps, they will most definitely not fit the new iPhone unless its dimensions are identical to v1. I have a Bodyguardz wrap on my phone and have been very happy with it and will probably get a new set of them for v2.
 
I doubt it'll fit the new one. It doesn't even fit this one! lol, like when I put the case on, there is extra space at the bottom. It isn't a firm tight fit, which is what I wanted, but whatever.

Click to expand...

...or at least until the announcement that the new iPhone will be coming out this winter!

Admittedly, not a high probability of that happening, but best not to get that excited while everything is still rumorland :)
 
Just try not to think about the new iphone coming out cause if your like me, the next 17 days will be about 17 years worth!!!!
 
I can see it now....!

WWDC Comes and Apple unveils all kinds of new Mac software updates, Leopard updates, new redesigned MacBooks and even an update to .Mac so things would actually work.

BUT NO IPHONE!

Then all the :mad::mad::mad::mad: icons will flood the Macrumors gates.

;)

How sad am i? ooh! to updat u guys, its now 16d 03h 41m 47s until the 'iphone'
 
iPhone 2

Well, I guess the only thing that won't be afeected by gas prices is the iPhone.

I'm showing 15 days, 14 hours.
 
I came across an interesting blog this morning. This guy says:

"Apple has announced that the official launch date for the iPhone version 2.0 will be June 9th. ... One Apple executive actually described the launch as the 'second coming' of the iPhone, and Apple is hoping that the launch will be a worldwide event similar in scope to the release of the original iPhone."

Of course, there's no mention as to where or when Apple made this "announcement".

It's been corrected to 'Gizmodo has confirmed'.

Reading the two comments below the story you'll see they changed the headline from 'Apple has announced' to 'gizmodo confirms', which isn't confirmation at all:

"Gizmodo confirmed that the official launch date for the iPhone version 2.0 will be June 9th. Already, current and potential iPhone users are getting excited about the advancements made to the most popular mobile phone of all time. One Apple executive actually described the launch as the “second coming” of the iPhone, and Apple is hoping that the launch will be a worldwide event similar in scope to the release of the original iPhone."

They are saying a lot of things like it's fact, but it's all speculation really:

"Interestingly, the re-launch of the iPhone will take place simultaneously around the world — with none of that “gradually introducing the phone to new countries over the course of months” that we saw with the original iPhone release. One reason for this is the iPhone’s immense popularity in Europe, India and Australia."

and

"Other than the inclusion of high speed mobile Internet access, the iPhone 2.0 is virtually identical to its predecessor. Sure, there are cosmetic changes, and the operating system has been updated to be more stable, with quicker access to media files and contacts. Otherwise, the 2.0 version is not a radical departure from the original. "
