These are all false!

The real next gen iPhone is going all glass! The entire case! How could yall have not seen this comming, afterall the glass frame of the new MacBook screens should have been an easy give away.
:eek:










of course, i'm being highly sarcastic!
 
Unfornately i got to give it a miss as iam on contract for 2 years but hey come this june iam one year in lol, the pictures look like the current iphone 3g shape at the back with the round cruves, its a good thing there is no glossy back.

However i prefer the stainless steel back from the first iphone, whatever happens i hope i have something worth looking forward to my next iphone when my contract ends next july.

I hope by than we finally get the little things we use in our lives like copy and paste and flash support for safari i don't use mms much but it would be good if we have it!

I also hope that the new firmware update will support the current iphone and it will be free, and that apps will support all the iphone platforms if there is a screen resolution change.

Till next july i just have to envy you guys who bought the new iphone :p
 
Ok, you're going to have to explain what a "single sided hole" would be. :confused:

It goes all the way through the plastic, yes. That's what makes it a hole. The current iPhone back is no different.

A single-sided hole would be a black hole. The miniature black hole will provide life-time power and illumination for the iPhone and other objects in the vicinity. I can see this posing a disposal problem.
 
Looks good! I just want better software and a bigger battery. Please, Apple?
 
Actually I dont care matte or shiny back... Still looks fat... If is it the new iPhone I cant never buy... When will be iPhone thin just like iPod Touch 2G I can buy then....

There is a simple solution for your request: Pick up a used iPhome first generation off of eBay.
 
I really like this, but I'm hoping it is flatter than the 3G. I don't care for the fatty look for the phone as much.

Hopefully it comes in this black color and silver. I'm kind of imagining the colors of the current iPod Classic. Here's hoping!! Even if I have to pay full price, I'll be getting the next generation no matter what. :)
 
...But the back of the original iPhone was sooo slick - marking the first handheld product for which I purchased a case...

i like a rubber-like grip on my iphone, but am i the only one who finds it a challenge to drag it out of a pocket? the iPhone 3g's natural slick glass & plastic make getting the phone out a piece of cake; holding on to it's another matter altogether.
 
Ok so what's the most recent best guess on when the new iPhone is coming out?

I just lost my phone. I have a crappy back-up that I hate. If the new iPhone comes in May then maybe I can wait. But July or something I'm forced to buy a different phone :(
 
The image is breaking up badly around the text details but not elsewhere, where its overly smooth/blurry. the image shouldnt do that if its legit. Id call fake.

although i think matte black is far better than gloss black, still prefer the gloss white though.
 
And doesn't look like we'll be apple to upgrade cheaply since our 3Gs were subsidized (unlike original iPhone owners.)
Ah, see that's where you went wrong. We're a two iPhone family, so *I* upgraded to a 3G while my wife kept her EDGE model. This summer, we'll upgrade her phone and then we'll swap phones. This way I'm always eligible for an upgrade every year. :p
 
Very interesting. Do I see an indication of a ring around the camera opening which could possibly be for an LED flash, or am I seeing things?

You're definetly not seeing things. I can also see a thin, white ring around the camera hole, especially on the picture that shows the inside of the casing. I have never seen a phone with the flash actually in a circle around the camera though. Just another Apple innovation I guess...
 
I don't know if it's been mentioned in the past 8 pages, but I could care less about the back. I need to see the flipside for a front-facing camera for iChat or other videoconferencing feature.
 
hopefully it's like one of my harmony remotes that has grippy coating on the bottom. i really like it, it feels comfortable in the hand and not like it's going to pop out like my iphone does.
 
Hardware details to focus on:
- Better battery
- Better camera
- Higher resolution screen
- More Ram so that Safari doesn't crash while I'm listening to music
- Better antenna for better reception
- Haptic feedback
Totally agree.

I hope it's fake too. A 2mpx camera without autofocus for a top notch phone in '09 is ridiculous. A LED would be handy too, how much do I it of my current phone just as a 'torch'.
 
Apple better have gotten it right with the iPhone this time around if they're this close to production.

That means they need to add more file space, more system memory, an even higher resolution screen and better battery life.

If not.. they're gonna fail, hard. Apple has had plenty of time to listen and study the success and shortcomings of the iPhone for a while now.

I agree with everything you said besides the "fail" part. They could probably sell the iPhone 3G through to June 2010 if they wanted to and continue making a killing!

Let's just hope Apple is paying attention to all the new 'legit' iPhone competitors this year.
 
It seems very possible, to match the ipod line up i can see it coming in matte black and brushed silver, the current glossy white is a bit odd in the line up.
