There was a rumor that specifically informed accessory makers to add space for a NEW sensor on the front by the ear piece. If the new iPhone does NOT have video chat/conferencing it will be only the second 3G phone EVER to NOT have video chatting/conferencing, the first being the new BlackBerry Bold lol (POS). So if it does not, Apple would be IMMENSELY dropping the ball!

Ask anyone on this site that lives outside the US if they have ever seen a 3G phone without video chatting/conferencing in the last 3 years even, they will tell you NO.
The same can be said about the iPhone being the ONLY camera phone that doesn't support MMS. We have no clue what Apple will do... If Steve doesn't find it worthwhile, we will never get it...

Also, there are many, many, many 3G phones without video conferencing...
 
White??

I have seen two versions of the new 3G iPhone. It looks like it will be available in white and black, but I am pretty sure they are just nice covers. We'll see...

I've seen all the pictures and see all the hoopla, but white?!!? Seriously... It looks nice and streamline in ur house, on your desk, where ever ever we put our young iMac's... I don't know about most PDA users out there, but I for one beat the hell out of my blackjack ii. Partially because it has windows mobile and it is garbage - so it deserves a beating. On the other hand, I so heavily use my phone, carry it while I work, that the out side and back of the case gets scratched. If I had a white phone it would look destroyed in a matter of a week. I really hope the white is just there for the "pristine" effect while the black remains a choice.

Though, truth be told, if white was the only color. I would HAVE to buy it I suppose. This blackjack ii is trash. ;)
 
Everyone knows Apple is trying to play catch up with the Zune. The large slot on the top is a multipurpose port which will be used initially for an FM radio receiver! In the future you will be able to plug in other important devices, like a cable to share songs between iPhones. It is also rumored that they have developed a new DRM which will require a dongle to be plugged in for each artist, offering even better protection for the consumer.

Catch up ? your jokin' right? Even if Apple was trying to pick up extra little things like radio, the world is trying to catch up to Apple. Nah . . I know your jokin'
 
I called the ATT here in charleston and the person said they have plenty and they keep them in stock. Makes me wonder if ATT will offer a contract incentive on the 1stG iphones after the new release.

I know I went to an AT&T near me and asked this chick if they had any iphones, just to see what she would say. Of course she said yes. It was one of the few times I thought I would actually great a no from a chick . . uhh from AT&T of course. ;)
 
You would have to be insane not to agree that this place is being over run by iphone 3g stories, well I say stories?
Thank heavens that 10.5.3 has been released!
(although I'm sure that half of the macrumors staff are picking that to death to see if there are any clues pointing to the iphone 3g!!!)

LOL, you know your smilin' and rubbin' your hands together over there and tossing in your sleep with sweet sweet dreams of the iphone 2. :D

I can fix your sarcasm detector for fifty bucks.
 
This is the point where we can start picking out the real Apple fans from the
"Apple Fans." True Apple fans went a good 8 years of "iPhone" rumors without it ever once getting old. This is the most exciting thing... ever. My credit card hasn't left my hand, matter of fact, I think I will go start the line at my local AT&T store, No Apple Store here yet. :( Although, if rumors are true, it will be much cheaper at AT&T.

Which makes no sense. I doubt AT&T will subsidize the iPhone. The iPhone is a huge draw to get people into Apple stores. If it's cheaper at AT&T then why even bother selling it at the Apple store?

AT&T will not subsidize the iPhone. I'd be pissed if they did as I used my last subsidy to buy a phone to tide me over until the 3G iPhone. A lot of original iPhone customers would be pissed as well.

Has anyone noticed that the hole for the main camera appears to be exactly the same size as the 1st Gen iPhone main camera? In my experience, every phone I've seen with a camera >3.2MP has had a substantially bigger camera footprint on the back of the phone.

I'd been hoping for a better camera than 3.2 but I guess it will do... :eek: they better improve it though :cool:
 
i hope you're right

Can you imagine what would happen if the next iphone somehow doesn't have 3G, or worse, they don't even annouce it at the WWDC. I think the world would self destruct. ;)

I seriuosly wish that would happen. I'm getting so pissed off at all these rumours, namely the release date.

Wow, a product that we don't even know exists will be released on this date, and look like this!

MASSIVE EDIT
I didn't mean this site, but how every site i visit seems to 'know' that it will be released, purely based on rumors. And you cant say it is 'expected' to be released, either.

Why exactly are you here? That's why this site exists. None of the Apple products we talk about are known to exist—not even the next revision of a current product.

"I'm getting so pissed off" at all of you complainers. Back when I first came to this site, no one complained about new rumors. It wasn't until the infamous PowerBook G5 that everyone started complaining that they didn't want to hear this and that. Just skip it. Stop filling the forums with garbage posts.

Just because you are tired of seeing rumors you don't even have to read, doesn't mean that the rest of us are.
 
do someone know the size of the iphone's CCD-chip?

my canon eos 5d has got a 35.8 x 23.9 mm CMOS:D

Nope, but the chip that handles the camera is limited to 2Mp - which is what the iPhone delivers. If the rumors as to the new chips being used are correct, then 2Mp is still the camera rez upper limit.

So I'm not expecting a change to the camera on this update.

Why are you "pissed off" at the rumors?

I find them interesting and a reason why I visit this site

You can't take any of them 100% to be true but some do tend to hit the nail on the head.

Makes it interesting :D
