Wait...so if we wanna use apps we have the now on our current phones there going to appear blurry/pixelated?

No. Pixel-doubled apps should look about the same as the current iPhone, since they are spread over the same total size.

Hd?

so is this 'real' HD? from my understanding 'HD' is a pretty loose term and while it is great that the next iPhone will have 960x640 resolution does that mean it still can't play 720P material?
Will it be able to record at 720P, even though that is a higher resolution than it has on the screen?

I was really hoping for a slightly bigger display, of say, 3.7/3.8".

What would a bigger sized screen do besides making the phone bigger ? It's already huge compared to other phones that were on the market before it, going to things like Android sized screens (3.8" and even 4.3" screens) isn't a plus if they managed to quadruple the resolution on the same size screen they had before.

well it will be able to play 720p i believe just no display all the pixels...

honestly 720p on a 3.5 inch device is a little over kill i won't be able to tell the difference anyway.
 
If they do end up calling this new phone the "iPhone HD" I'm going to really laugh when everyone around here, predictably, thinks nothing of it, and calls it the best thing ever. Yet, when the "Zune HD" comes out, everyone here laughs at its screen and notes that it isn't HD.

Reality check, 960x640 is very high-res, but it certainly isn't HD. Not even close. I guess I shouldn't be surprised though. The term "HD" is so overused these days, it almost has no true meaning or value as a descriptor. Just tack it on to any item these days, and call it awesome. :rolleyes:
 
LUL I remember when just having a camera was huge. Then, the RAZR came along and everything had to be thin. XD
 
Awesome!! I love getting rumors/news on weekends when there′s hardly anything new to read!

The screen is going to ROCK! :)

This is great news. I just wish the iPad had more pixel density to it. While not bad by any means, you can see the pixels sometimes in text which is a little annoying.

That is why I'm waiting for the next generation ipad but I'm certainly getting the next iphone. It is going to be off the hook

yeah i agree, I'm not really a fan of calling it iPhone HD, I think just iPhone 4 would be a good simple name since it's 4th generation.

Well, a bigger screen would make surfing the net, using video chat, and reading books on it better/easier. And the iPhone doesn't have to increase in size much if they just move the earphone piece/front facing camera further to the edge, and the home button smaller and rectangular. They then could use the extra real estate for a bigger screen.
 
Holy hell that's incredible! This really is the first isolated technology that's really impressed me in some time.
I'll be getting an iPod Touch at the next update... I really hope this makes it into the iPod.
 
Does anybody else realize that this iPhone will also bring with it the ugliest iPod ever?

I simply won't touch either. I don't care of the features. The looks and shape and all has completely turned me off.

I waited to get the iPhone until it could do one thing, record video. The 3Gs did that, I bought it, I'm damn happy.

So long, precious looks :(
