iPhone product roadmap

I think next year will be iPhone 5, i think 3Gs was a way to get back to a sequential numbering system after the confusion caused by the jump from "iPhone" to "iPhone 3G".

 

I agree. I think it will just go 5, 6, 7, and so on.

 

I can't see AT&T having a 4G network ready for the iPhone by 2011.

 

I like your thinking, but I really would hate for Apple to take the HTC road and try to brand a phone as 4G, when its really avg. 3G. **cough sprint EVO**. Other than that, it looks like the roadmap is going to be set.

 

As others have stated, I believe it will be:

2011 - iPhone 5
2012 - iPhone 6
2013 - iPhone 7

and so on...

 

Of course there will be different names right? I think iPhone 4 is lame. iPhone HD? Hells yes.

 

You forgot one:

6/24/2010 - iPhone 4 GSM
4th Quarter 2010 - iPhone 4 CDMA

(sigh) Frankly, I don't really care at this point if the iPhone comes to Verizon or another carrier. I have very good coverage in my area with AT&T and if a bunch of people jump ship to another carrier, that just means AT&T's load will lighten and be better for those who stay with them!

 

I disagree. I think the 3GS was must upgrade. The 3G did not impress me and I'm glad I didn't buy one even though ATT waived eligibility rules for me. I've been very happy w/ the GS. It runs 4.0 very fast unlike the 3G. I'm only upgrading to the 4 b/c ATT is letting me and I like the HD video w/ light and improved camera.

 

The 3GS was a better upgrade than the 3G in my opinion too. 3G had the same hardware is the 2G, just with 3G signal support. The 3GS is very very fast which I appreciate a lot.

 

I personally thought that the feature set of the 3GS was not enough to upgrade and I am glad I did not. While the 3G might have only been an incremental upgrade, the 3GS was even less.

Now along comes i4. I think it is the right time and feature set for an upgrade!
