Apple Announces 16GB iPhone and 32GB iPod Touch

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Yeah, those $499 iTouches are really going to be flying off the shelves :rolleyes:

Screw the gadgets -- give us the new MBP, Apple!

P.S.

If I sound like a little brat who didn't get the toy he wanted, well, that's because I didn't get the toy I watned :mad:
 
nice

can't wait for the memory prices to drop enough to make a 64G flash based model come in under 300.... :D

i am still holding out for the 5.5 inch screen version with a document editor and new fun from the SDK though! :cool: when i can get that, i can do 70% of what i need a laptop for in a palmtop. bring it Apple!
 
The upgrade is nice but don't forget about the Apple TV update!!!

Come on Apple!!!

glad they upped the memory, but as a current iphone owner, i'll be waiting for iphone 2. wish i had the 16g, especially with apps on the horizon.

I too will wait for a real update before upgrading my iphone. Sure I'd like more space, but this is just a hold-over update.

lol seriously? you people crack me up.
 
No 32GB iPt in the UK store yet. Wonder how much it'll be? Don't need that much memory myself but quite a few people here have been hoping for it so great!!
 
Good stuff. I won't be buying in until May (unless Rogers in Canada announces first), so the added memory is a bonus for me. Yes, no 3G, but that's not going to happen with just a Store update. Major revisions will be tied to an event- that should be obvious to anyone. And double the memory for only $100 more. That's pretty good.

of course... the rumors were true.... and immediately... looks like apple shaping up again after the air incident... but why not 32gb phones?

Cause of the same reason as before.....price man. It would be too much for the 32GB plus the cell phone hardware. I suppose they could give consumers the choice but I don't think a $800.00 or $850.00 iphone would sell very well. And that would still be before the AT&T contract.

On a side note...lol I'm typing this from work right now and I've got a window right on broadway near battery park. The Giants parade is going to start at 11am and its already getting noisy. :D
 
32GB, nice.

That's more capacity than the 5G iPod (30GB, black) I picked up, what, a year and a half ago? But now, it's in flash...

I'm not at the point where I'm ready to get an iPod Touch or an iPhone just yet, but limited capacity has been my greatest concern about them, and it looks like it won't be an issue any more. :)

it's super tuesday. only quiet, non-world shattering releases today. new MBP, SDK, all that jazz starting next week. apple wants press, and there is no way a single camera (other than their own security cameras) are going to cupertino today with a neck and neck race for obama and hillary in CA.

Valid point! Probably it's just me & myself that have forgotten about Super Tuesday due to the mysterious Apple Store closing... The rest of the western world is discussing politics today.
 
Unfortunately they are of 1.1.3 out of box and cannot be unlocked with software or sim sandwich at this time.

and its actually 32gb formatted (not unformatted like the HD based ipods)
 
No store closure yet in the UK or any sign of the new hardware. Is this normal?

Any confirmation of UK pricing yet?
 
Also, I think they should have annouced the 16GB iphone and 32GB ipod touch at macworld along with the annoucements about the wiggly icons N such. It would have added some meat to the other announcements. They could have always said availability wouldn't be immediate.
 
now that the touch has reached the capacity of the smaller ipod 5.5G, the question is, how much longer does the ipod classic last? IMO it will not see another update. They'll keep it around until the big ipod event in the fall at which time we'll see the touch go to 64 GB and the classic disappear. People will complain for a while because the high-end capacity is gone, but 64 GB will be enough for most people, and 128 will follow by '09. I've yet to see a single ipod classic in the wild - I think it's only a matter of time until the touch becomes the only full-sized ipod.
 
2008 is gonna be a year of frequent updates... :)

2nd week of February: 16GB iPhone, 32GB iPod touch
4th week of January: Pink iPod nano
3rd week of January: iPhone and iPod touch update, iTunes Movie Rentals, Apple TV (Take 2), MacBook Air
2nd week of January: 8-core Mac Pro

no 3g?

You will know about a 3G iPhone a long time before its release because it can't get through the FCC without it being made public.

FCC approvals generally take 6 months so it is at least 6 months away, and I'd personally say a bit more than that.
