Looking at iPhone OS 3.0 (sorry, no pics though, NDA!)

would new hardware be needed for build in MMS? or could MMS come in an update like this?

MMS wouldn't be that much different from SMS so it could be done in software. I wouldn't get my hopes up for seeing anything like that tomorrow though. Maybe they'll surprise us all in June/July.

Probably not. :rolleyes:
 
I hope we get MMS. I still cant believe the phone can do almost everything but not something so simple!
 
TomTom announcement. Tomorrow. A guess, but the move that has happened to Trails through a change by Google in their policy on maps indicates there's a possibility we're going to see news on SatNav etc, and other apps tomorrow.

If that's the 3rd gen iPhone, I'm buying a BlackBerry and switching back to a PC with Windows 3.1. Hideous.

Apple needs to do more than this to excite me and call a press conference over it.

Come on...

*sigh*

Why do consumers think every move apple makes is supposed to be aimed directly at them.

I've even seen people here complain that WWDC doesnt excite buyers enough.....

That is absurd that the 2.0 sotware was free for iPhone and $10 for the iPod Touch. I have 3 iPhones in my household (1 for me, 1 for my sister and 1 for one of my younger brothers). However, another one of my younger brothers also has an iPod Touch that was bought after the 2.0 software update so it came with it.

I think it would be ridiculous for them to charge iPod Touch owners $10 to update when they are features that should have been included with the product. You don't see them charge for updates to other iPods or Macs...

However, even if it was free for iPhones and $10 for iPod Touch, couldn't I just download the software update for the iPod Touch free from some other site or use my free download from when Apple let me download it for my iPhone?

Really? Isn't it kinda like going from 10.4 to 10.5 etc...?
 
So ya my buddy SJ and I were out fishing last weekend, I asked about this new "netbook" they were planning and he told me all about it. I would tell you all... but sadly I would then have to kill you. Although I can copy/paste all the information already on numerous sites to make it look like I'm telling you something important!!

I'm friends with SJ's because I say I am, so take me serious or else... or else.. ah piss off you non believers!!
:p

Adds #168 & #174.

I'm going on record as saying I believe this. If I'm wrong as well, I don't really care, I just can't wait to see what's coming anyways!!! :D

With iPhone OS 3.0 preview coming up within next couple of days, I can share this:

Couple of days ago, my friend who works at Apple HQ in Cupertino sent me some of the screenshot for upcoming iPhone OS 3.0.

Sadly, attached with the email was also a PDF of NDA, which I had to sign and mail back. Therefore, I can't share the actual screenshot.

However, I can describe it to you, since Kevin Rose described it on live Diggnation. (which my friend attended, he's a huge fan of Diggnation)

First, the copy and paste. Kevin Rose got that right on! It is exactly how it works. However, Apple, always scared of battery issue, has limited the copy and paste to certain apps, such as Mail, Safari, etc. This is because iPhone and iPod touch uses lot of power on memory, therefore, the copy and paste is limited. But the how it works is exactly how Kevin Rose described it.

Now, the background process. The word is that Push Notification was failure. It did not work exactly as planned. Therefore, there will be a limited background support, up to 3 apps (may subject to change). The limit is to prevent iPhone from draining the battery like crazy hell.

Finally, redesign of the home screen. Not much changes, except users can now put personal background on the home screen, as well as adding more apps to the dock, expanding the limit from four to about seven, and stacks to organize the apps. This is how Apple will let users organize apps on the iPhone.

Now, my friend also sent me shots of what is the next iPhone. Someone already posted this pic, but the next iPhone will have a shell that is full unibody, carved from one aluminum. This means plastic will be gone (hopefully)

That's all I can share. Let's hope what I got on the email is right on for Mar. 17.

You know, while you don't sound very convincing, you seem to describe exactly what I was told was coming in 3.0 by insiders.

Not sure about stacks, I heard categories instead, with a Time Machine style animation (however this was months ago).

The expanded dock and curved alu back model and background app info is the same as I've been assured. The status bar had a dot in the middle of it too, you drag it to do something. I can't remember what :)

New to these boards.. so my credibility is 0.



But I can confirm that pretty much everything the original poster stated in his first post is legit.

I'm not going to answer PM's with further questions; This is all I have to say about the matter.


Don't believe it, oh well. I could care less. I'm just confirming that what the original poster has stated is correct for the real iphone fans that post on these boards.

edit: I will add only one more thing- The next generation iphone pic has NOT been posted in this thread yet.

i too have 0 credibility, but i can confirm that the confirmation in the above post is correct.

If correct = My Heroes.

If incorrect = Good Joke. Practice for April Fools Maybe?

:D
 
I know that I have no credibility, but I can confirm everything that's been said about the iPhone so far. But everyone else has forgotten the "Pre killing" feature. There's a new feature in Safari that'll shoot lasers out of the headphone jack and kill anyone you want. My friend sent me pictures of Apple testing it against ninjas but I can't show anyone the pictures because we pinky promised. Sorry but you'll all see tomorrow about how I'm right.

no ones laughing -_-
 
Guys,
why is anyone even posting in this thread. It was proved that the OP is lying in the first page (NDA signed after receiving the pictures? srsly?) Just leave this attention seeking fan alone.
 
This thread has proved why forums are entertaining. If people just wanted to read rumors they would go to sites like engadget or gizmodo. Fact is, people want to talk and converse about them because it is interesting.

Whether the OP is lying or not (I tend to believe him, but that's neither here nor there) it did start a very good conversation, albeit it with some off topic comments.

Point is, this is why we come to Macrumors, to talk about something we enjoy.

So he sent you the screenshot along with an NDA for you to sign, before you had signed it?

Haha right.
Click to expand...

EXACTLY. Without a signed NDA before seeing the screenshot, he could have distributed the photo and not gotten in trouble.

And "limited" copy/paste due to memory? That's just a laughable excuse.

I also call BS on this entire post.
