Chinese Forum Poster Claims Next Generation iPhone Details

[ipedro]

more memory yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! (happy dance, lol)

but for real i need more proof

I don't think you need proof about that. It's common sense that the memory will (at least) double every generation.

I think I'll skip this generation. I need a 64GB to fit all my music and apps.

Here's your camera:

and here's your sexyness:

Choose one

i like the first one, just the camera is tooooooooooo bulky, get rid of that piece of crap and keep something simple, i know zoom can be added to the iphone (jail break apps make it happen) just keep the camera the way it is and add the zoom feature and will be good to go, and i love the ichat camera (great work on this version if it ever comes)

as for the second pic its wack, looks like it will be easy to break

ok let me reword my comment i need more proof of the new iphone, its just rumors now and fake pics, 3.0 is coming out soon but it would be great for a 32 or a 64 g iphone, i'll take both

..., the manufacturers of hard drives measure GB using decimal counting instead of binary, such as using powers of 10 instead of 2, which means 1GB for them is 1000MB instead of 1024MB and 1000KB is a MB instead of 1024, etc...

Not in this case. The iPhone's flash memory is measured in binary because it's a raw memory chip, not a standalone system emulating a drive.

The ring is one of the antennas!

Yep, this is common cell phone design practice. Nothing new.

I'm very excited about these specs. I think this is probably what we'll be seeing in a few weeks. Anyone who thinks these are weak upgrades is just kidding themselves. 3.2mp is a good sensor for a camera, 5mp would be overkill and would just result in larger file sizes with the same quality due to the tiny optics. I'm thrilled about autofocus and video recording personally. Faster processor and double the ram?! Yes Please!! The current iPhone does not perform as well as it should. I cannot WAIT until June 8! (At which time I'll be unable to wait another month before I can actually get my hands on one!)

 

[psingh01]

i wish it had an AM tuner, so I could listen to sports talk!

 

[rockosmodurnlif]

No battery change, faster processor, higher pixel camera, video recording, faster network (?) and push notifications? Don't go too far from the outlet with this phone.

 

[spaceballl]

Obviously there's no way to tell if this rumor is true...

However, I can see the benefits of not radically changing the iphone this year. They get a third year to build on the app infrastructure with everyone building for the same platform with the same resolution with pretty close to the same feature set.

I would be totally fine w/ an only marginally better iPhone as long as the battery was WAY better. And by battery, i mean overall battery life, not necessarily the power of the battery - like, if they can use similar components with way better power usage, then count me in

I call BS, I know how to use photoshop cs3/4 really well and creating something like this is way too easy.

Probably, but at least this person did their homework. All of these features seem the most logical. The 600MHz (ARM cortex-A8) 256mb ram, 3.2mp camera, 32gig, compass are all completely logical. idk about the FM thing since apple's been so reluctant about it in the past, but don't the new Nano's do FM? so maybe

The one thing that I'm hoping they will add, apart from those specs, is an OLED screen.

About a year too soon, unless you want to go back to original iPhone prices? $699 whether you have a contract or not. I'd rather wait until 4.0 and see an OLED screen.

Ooooooh, good point. They are crazy about battery life lately, especially with the 17" MBP. I would assume they must upgrade the battery on the new device, especially considering the upgraded hardware.

The newer hardware sips less battery than the hardware in the 3G. So just b/c the hardware is better doesn't necessarily mean it will consume more power. All of the radio chips will consume less power, the processor will be more efficient, etc.

 

[The Californian]

I would like to propose a motion for no more screen shots and hardware only spy shots.

All those in favor? Yea
All those against? Nay

If this person was really in possession of the new iphone, he/she would post pics.

 

[libertyforall]

Uggh! STILL NO CAMERA FLASH!? :-(

 

[libertyforall]

Most AM & FM streams online these days, you can find many in the AOL Radio app, and on others...

You guys that think this is real are very gullible.

 

[jaw04005]

FM is a red flag for me. Apple hasn't done FM in the iPods since the optional "Radio Remote" accessory for the 5G.

I guess they could use the FM as a transmitter (for vehicles without AUX-in). However, that doesn't sound like Apple either.

 

[Randykn.]

'AT&T3.5'..
so china uses AT&T? or is it an american who uses chinese as his/her regional language?

and no major changes in battery?
isn't it hard enough to run a better processor and ram, this is just going to kill the battery
but it's pretty dissapointing if there isn't much changes in the exterior.
i'm sure everyone was hoping for a major exterior especially for iphone2g owners, like myself. lol

 

[aprilfools]

between this one and another recent thread, you would think the iPhone is only used in China. I could careless about Chinese font recognition etc... Big deal.
USA baby!

You guys that think this is real are very gullible.

And to say absolutely that this is fake is just an irrational fear of being called gullible. Seriously, stop projecting.

We can't really tell much about this either way.

 

[Donz0r]

You guys that think this is real are very gullible.

Why?

Because of the lack of photo proof from the poster?

or

Because of the lack of credibility from the specs provided?

imo the specs provided seem exactly in line. Apple will market this as a faster iPhone, focus on photo and video capabilities, and compass

 

[scootaru]

Anyone notice the dimensions of this "screenshot" are 319 x 460 pixels? Seems a little off...

 

[wizard]

don't underestimate progress.

Not thrilled that there is no change to the battery. The battery life is just decent at best, and will be depleted even faster with these increases in processing power. I would have liked to have seen a battery that lasted at least 1.5x as long as the G2 iPhone.

That might not be the case at all. First consider that the ARM 11 is an old design built on an old process. The market is about to be flooded with a whole new generation of ARM chips. Well I should say cores as really the processor is just a subsection on the SoC wafer. In any event we could be looking at a wash with respect to power usage if not less.

And why no 3G 2.0? (7.2mb.s, versus the current 3.6mb/s)

Who says there isn't any? Frankly the web seems silent on this issue. On there other hand AT&T seems to be inba crash program to implement 7.2 mb/s in the major cities. Almost as if they are getting ready for a release from a major partner.

Obviously they're keeping the same OS/interface, I think that's good. Why change a good thing? iPhone 3.0 software should perfect it IMO.

Agh nothing is perfect but if I see multitasking coming I will be smiling. In any event what is already known about 3.0 is looking very good to me as many desires are satisfied.

Yet the current iPhone even has a chip capable of receiving FM. The new chip is said to also support transmitting FM. So that backs up this rumor.
