Do you think Steve Jobs will unveil the new iPhone? If not then who?

New firmware files in 3.0. (iPhone 1,3)

Photo's revealing "Video Upload"

Photo's released today on video recording

The massive rush that AT&T is going through to update their services before June

Apple says yearly refresh

Theres 5. All of which can be found on Macrumors.

Actually, while I think there will be new hardware, none of the above reasons mean there will be new hardware. Video recording can be performed on current 3G (via jailbreak), I don't see where AT&T is rushing to do anything but take our money, Apple does not say yearly "refresh" - they said the "product cycle" is in June/July.

2 better reasons there will be new hardware are: (1) new hardware means more profit for Apple and (2) carriers (like O2) trying to sell off their existing stock of the 3Gs.

Anyways, I don't think Jobs will be doing the keynote, but I don't think it matters. I think the only piece of "evidence" we have of his health is his missed Disney shareholders meeting. His official word was that he was temporarily stepping down from being the CEO and daily decision maker of Apple, not dropping out of life.

Photo's revealing "Video Upload" - doesn't prove anything (see below).

Photo's released today on video recording - you can record video on the current iPhone via Jailbreak - this could indicate Apple is officially granting that functionality with the 3.0 update.

The massive rush that AT&T is going through to update their services before June - doesn't necessarily have anything to do with Apple (in all likelihood it doesn't).

Apple says yearly refresh - we've been through this already (several times).

Theres 5. All of which can be found on Macrumors.

Try and come up with 5 examples of solid evidence, this time. And more to the point, everything you have said does not in any way indicate that there will be a new iPhone this June. All of your points, presuming they actually equated to a new device, do not indicate it will come out this year - and that's the point, I'm afraid.

I really do not care who delivers the news nor do I care if Jobs unveils anything ... Schiller too for that matter. Does the CEO of Samsung come out an announce their newest device every time? Nope. Apple is the only company that somehow commands a parade every time they release something new.

itd be just wrong not to have jobs deliver the new iphone

Wrong? Does that mean all iPhone revisions will stop after he retires from the company or passes away?

 

[gigapocket1]

Haha.. Y are some of y'all in denial? New iPhone this summer for sure! To much evidence.. Non contract phones for sale now, things found in betas, parts ordered, huge money being spent in near same time frame as last year!, AT&T upgrading 3g network speeds.. New iPhone for sure this summer..

Secondly Steve jobs..
Will he be at wwdc?
I say yes, but I do not think that he is going to introduce the iPhone.. If he does.. He's going to announce retirement before he introduces it.. But by the way.. No one actually cares who introduces the iPhone except us apple freaks.. Most iPhone users don't care, don't know who he is.. They just love the technology.. Point blank period..

Where do some of these people get the weird notion (based on no evidence) that steve will retire. Its not up to apple if he retires, its up to him, and we all know how steve is. He just loves to run the company, plain and simple.

I voted other cause I would love jon ive to give a keynote

Why do you think this a "weird" notion? He's sick enough with a condition "more complicated than previously thought" which has caused him to step down as Apple CEO. And you think retirement is a "weird notion"? LOL! He's also been MIA from non-Apple events like Disney's annual shareholders meeting, which he previously never missed. Sorry, he may be your idol, but he's still human and he's not going to stay Apple CEO forever. Retirement is a very realistic possibility. He said he would return in June. If he choses not to, he best have a very good reason as APPL shares will plummet if he doesn't.

MIA? He announced he was going to take a leave of absence, why the hell would he be in the spotlight?

Nothing about the fact that he ignored his condition until he looked like he did tells you hes got the workaholic mentality?

 

[drakeshipway]

It is his baby!

I would hope that he gives it.

Yeah, I think the keynote Steve did where he introduced the iPhone to the world was his best and the best keynote ever. He was so passionate about it, so pleased and thrilled that Apple pulled it off.

 

[Aaleck]

I think it'll be jobs. He'll be back by then...

 

[SAG3194]

It's a pretty tough call. I think if he is feeling up to it he will come. It's not up to apple to decide its up to him.

Name 5. Good luck.




First, If there actually was going to be a new iPhone coming out in June, we would be hearing ALOT more. There would be alot more than rumors. We would have actual updates from Apple, etc.

Secondly, and it's not a piece of crap phone. It is the number one sold phone in the United States. (World too?) Over the RAZR.

First of all - The piece of crap phone opinion is in the majority, the fact that most people hate the iPhone and going for other alternatives cannot be ignored. Apple needs to rebolster the iPhone image from all those online critics from convincing others not to buy.

Second of all - Sales alone cannot prove that a phone is a very good one. I know this is an Apple fanboy base, but please, OPEN YOUR EYES and get rid of the stubborness!

Third - Actual updates from Apple of them making the 3rd gen iPhone right in front of you before its announced? Since when did that happen?

I love my iPhone, but it would just be a matter of time (1 year to be exact) before iPhone gets wiped off the map just like the RAZR.

By the way, note to people living in North America, please explore some of Europe and Asia and what cell phone tech handsets that we have. I think it's embarrassing to see you guys being dominated by a bunch of cell phone carriers over what you can buy and what you can not, I would die before I buy a locked handset. The view that the iPhone is king in the cell phone world is just like Americans being arrogant about their own country.

Lie.

I'm not saying you are wrong as to there might be a new iPhone coming out. I'm saying iPhone 3G is not outdated. Period.

*sigh* Technology moves fast, apparently. My 1 year old Mac is already outdated. The multi-touch can not be king forever, just 5 more months without hardware updates and it will crumble.

Really? Most people hate the iPhone? So that is why it sells so well! I get it now!

lol...
No duh it moves fast. My MacBook is out not the newest, I got it July of last year. But does it still get the job done? Does it still do the tasks I need it to preform? Does it do it in a time reasonable in compare-able standards of the new MacBook? Yes.

Yes, there are greater phones over-seas. I admit that Japan has one of the coolest markets for mobile devices. I just like how well my Apple products sync together.

And lastly... my iPhone 1st Gen gets the job done just like all my other technological devices in reasonable time manners without (many, meaning very seldom do I have a problem because I know how to work technology) problems.
