I KNOW there will be new iPhone hardware this summer.
I know for sure from all the stuff developers have found in the 3.0 beta.

Do you believe there will be new iPhone hardware this summer?

There's going to be "new hardware". The $60 million question is how "significant" the changes will be...and that's relative to each individual's definition of "significant."
Yes, I read and research everything. If there was a new iPhone in the making it would first have to be approved by the FCC as was the 3g. I found the 3g info on the FCC site in December of 2007. If there was going to be a new iPhone it would have already been at the FCC for approval https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=965776&native_or_pdf=pdf and here https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/prod/oet/forms/blobs/retrieve.cgi?attachment_id=952923&native_or_pdf=pdf
No you didn't. The iPhone 3G wasn't found on the FCC site until June 2008. See here.
Apple might have already applied, but they can request that FCC not release results until after the device is announced, just like they did with the iPhone 3G.
Correct. However, as soon as Apple applies for permission the files are loaded in the database and can be seen just not accessed by everyone. A reasonably intelligent person can put two and two together and only a selected few can access them.
My guess for WWDC subject to change:
Within a similar form factor - maybe a new bezel, but yes, and with
- magnetometers
- upgraded auto-focus 3.2 / 5Mp camera
- 32GB
- Better GPS (Epsons-Infineon one) likely
- A decent bump in the processor/graphics either upgrading the current versions to the next line up from the manufacturers, or going Tegra/other from Nvidia. Faster CPU, more memory
If they've got any new tech from batteries - it's going in there too.
And a rumor gamble i've just thuoght about
- A new dock with possibilities for A/V wired or wireless connections galore.

The only people who don't think there will be a new iPhone are the ones who are just now realizing that they won't be able to get out of there 3G contracts, and don't want to be left behind pr be forced to pay a ton of money. The 3.0 OS betas have waaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy too many features that cannot be pulled off on the current phones. Plus it would make sense for Apple to keep this as tight lipped as possible with the release of the Pre immanent.
Exactly.
I don't understand why there are people on this forum (OP included) who refuse to understand that even though there is no hard evidence, the iPhone must, has, and will always go through a yearly cycle. Look at iPods, nearly a refresh a year, and it makes way more sense for apple to release software and hardware simultaneously as the new phone will most likely be able to take advantage of 3.0 better than the current 3g and 2g.
It's coming. No discussion necessary.
don't worry about hat, Apple will replace your batter once it reaches a low enough health.
Correct. However, as soon as Apple applies for permission the files are loaded in the database and can be seen just not accessed by everyone. A reasonably intelligent person can put two and two together and only a selected few can access them.
Again, not true. Even the listing for previous iPhones have not been visible until after the announcement.
I should know, I was checking once a day until the iPhone 3G was announced - nothing.
Please, do tell us the "right place" since apparently I know nothing.
Then when your "right place" yields nothing until after the announcement we can all head back here and you can admit you know nothing. We'll know in less than 60-days.
When did I say that I didn't believe there was going to be a new iPhone? I simply stated the facts to encourage a conversation.
I'm actually one of the few people that know for sure if there will or will not be a hardware update and how significant it will be if there is one.
