last minute predictions anyone?

He'd say "Today, we re-introduce to you, the iPhone."

With the same great professional design as the original iPhone.


Then they would rename the 3GS, the 3G and move it down to the $99 model.

I was thinking that they would rename the iPhone 3G S "iPhone" and call the new one, "iPhone HD". It just better not be the iPhone 3G S HD. That's what the competitors would do. ;)

I'm hoping that Apple has been secretly working on a better notification system for 4.0 and just hasn't released it to developers yet.

Also, hoping for the iPad 4.0 beta to be released to developers today.
 
I predict that in 10 hours time this forum will be an unbearable place.

People moaning that they didnt get the features they wanted are fine and its understandable to a certain degree (although I think there are people without homes or food on this planet with real problems), but who annoys me are the people who dont even watch the keynote, dont have a clue what they are talking about, and start moaning!

EG when multitasking was anounced, so many people posted:

"I have the beta and ive got 19 apps running in the background!"
"How come my apps restart when I open them from the switcher?"
"Its such a pain closing apps from the switcher, I dont want loads of apps open in the background using resources!!"

When it was CLEARLY explained how multitasking would work during the keynote :rolleyes:
 
If I had to guess..

- Better camera

- Photovoltaic cells on front and/or back

- High-def out via a USB adapter

- Orientation lock for both directions (portrait only, seriously?)

- MobileMe becoming free. Show us your sexy data warehouse, Apple.

- AAPL stock flying by the seat of it's pants. Too bad I can't afford any.

EDIT -

Also, when end-users begin getting the phone:

- This forum will be filled with the aforementioned "I know the answer is in the manual but I want you to tell me so I don't have to look it up".

- Dumbphone users will praise their battery live. Droid users will praise their ability to [insert useless technology here]. Someone will suggest Dixie cups and twine. Dumbphone users, droid users, and iPhone users will tell them to shut up.
 
That even with a new iPhone model and new iPhone OS, it will still be impossible to synchronize To-Do items from iCal....
 
Whats this rumor I'm hearing about 4G/Wimax supposedly on every iphone 4g.

It's probably 100% fake, but it kept showing up on google news.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

oh and for that poster above that wants flash..on their phone.

I'm trying out the evo for 30 days and I haven't been to one flash site yet. And when I did....EPIC FAILURE. Android browser is more gimped than apples.

I found that ironic.
 
Guys go in your cupboards and find some Dixie cups and twine. Then make a time machine and go buy one of the new phones and come back and show us. DIXIE CUP AND TWINE.
 
Records HD video. I'd be disappointed if it doesn't. You have to figure this phone is going to be out for a year and the competition is already doing it. If I could record video on par with my Flip Ultra HD I would be floored.

SJ will unfurl an AT&T flag, and then burn it with a flamethrower.

Whoops, I ment to put this in the dream thread. Sorry!
 
Just one wish

I wish the new iPhone is unlock just like an iPad. Nothing better than unlock phone....
 
I'm back from the future. Here's my transcript from the keynote.

[Steve Jobs enters. Audience goes wild. Steve walks across the stage, opens water, takes a drink and sets it down. Walks to center stage. Places hands together, then puts them up in the "I surrender" position. Repeat several times.]

Steve: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Gary Powell to make a major announcement!

[audience roars with laughter, Gary walks on]

Gary: Steve, I'm not sure I should be making this presentation. I know someone who happens to be very knowledgeable about this product.
Steve: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Brian Lam!

[audience roars with laughter]

Brian: Hello! I'm Brian Lam from Gizmodo, and I have with me today an iPhone.. uh, what are you calling this Steve?
Steve: The "iPhone Mid 2010".
Brian: Ah yes. I have with me today an iPhone Mid 2010, and I'd like to tell you about a few features. [drops phone]
Gary: Uh, Brian, you dropped your phone. Got $5000?

[audience roars with laughter, Brian and Gary exit]

Steve: It has flash!

[audience applauds for two minutes]

Steve: For the camera.

[audience roars with laughter]

Steve: The phone is available nationwide immediately, but first, I'd like to cover a few features.

[hall empties quickly]

Steve: So Gary, Brian, what are your dinner plans?
 
So to sum it all up,

The [audience roars with laughter], then the
[audience roars with laughter], then the
[audience roars with laughter], then the
[audience roars with laughter].

Did i miss anything?
 
I think, seeing as the whole Verizon iPhone rumor has been debunked, Steve will announce that in the later parts of this year Verizon will start to carry the iPhone. It would be just like Apple to shock the world with this news just when everyone thought Verizon had no chance. This is what I will dream of tonight at least... I want the iPhone so bad!!!
 
I predict that there will be about 20 more of these stupid posts up before the WWDC.
 
probably going to have some updated version of OSX coming out soon too. At least an available by date, say by Christmas. I also think we are going to see some other hardware updates, probably 'Air' getting some new toys. All of that will be dismissed by the impending iPhone news.

And I predict, the stock will jump today:D

I just wish that they would announce other suppliers in the US, maybe T-mobile in the next few weeks and Big Red by Christmas.
 
iPhone available at other carriers than AT&T? Is that why AT&T has been so nice to its little boys and girls recently? "We will let you have the new iPhone a bit early, just sign up with us for another 2 years." Hmmmmmm. We'll find out later today.
 
Unlocked iPhone would be the best gift Apple can offer us. That's when you'll see Apple stock hit $400.00 in no time. (just dreaming)

It will definitely go down like always
 
CPU clocked at 800MHz
256MB of RAM
SGX535 GPU, the same as the 3GS
16-32GB max capacity
Wifi B/G, maybe n
960x640 pixels screen
5MP camera with 720p HD recording and flash
A front camera
 
I predict that after the WWDC has finished there will be some pointless waiting for iphone 4g/hd/4gs/gti to ship thread along with the network xx screwed me over thread.

On a lighter note I also predict that tomorrow will indeed be Tuesday!
 
I predict that no matter what Steve says today there will be a dozen threads by 5 PM complaining about how the new iPhone doesn't have X feature and is therefore doomed to failure.
