- OneManArmy, on 05/11/2008, -8/+95Naive is an understatment.
- virtualball, on 05/11/2008, -1/+55THis is good for three reasons. 1. There will be a 3G iPhone. 2. iPhone 2.0 will most likely use the same screen/resolution as 1.0 3. The second iPhone will use the exact same software. Sure, all of those were a given, but it's good to have confirmation :)
- bryantee, on 05/11/2008, -15/+71Awe. For a moment I thought this meant that current iPhones might get 3G capabilities. Naive me.
- fenix61, on 05/11/2008, -8/+62Apple+3G=Front page
- ross., on 05/11/2008, -3/+42Always LOL's me when Americans have no idea about 3G. I guess its not your fault, the US carriers have screwed you out of years of 3G.
- skemez1, on 05/11/2008, -2/+37I want it to be june already!! come on apple "inc"
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -2/+37im guessing any hardware updates will be pretty minimal, we wont see anything too mind-blowing. 3G, GPS, 3rd party apps, maybe a better camera.
- fanclerks, on 05/11/2008, -1/+26You people still don't get it do you?? Yeah, there are better phones out there than the iPhone. But they are only better hardware wise. The reason that there are so many people that like the iPhone still regardless of it being less technically is because of the interface. Everything Apple does and is popular for is because of THE ***** INTERFACE! Get that through your ***** skulls already.
- MellerTime, on 05/11/2008, -0/+24Yes, it would just fall back to EDGE.
- pilot101, on 05/11/2008, -0/+23I mean 3g, gps and 3rd party support was the only thing holding iphone back, if they have all that it's pretty goddamn perfect phone.
- z3rr0, on 05/11/2008, -2/+24LOL. Yeah, nothing major at all?!?!?!
- mp93, on 05/11/2008, -1/+20Why don't you realize that the iPhone is about the UI?
- stoph009, on 05/11/2008, -0/+17He already bought one
- BrendanSheehan, on 05/11/2008, -0/+15Why don't you just buy a regular dildo, I'm sure they're cheaper.
- deadbaby, on 05/11/2008, -2/+17Presumably so. That's how other phones work.
- innovaciones, on 05/11/2008, -2/+15Whatever + Kevin Rose = Front Page
- Giga, on 05/11/2008, -0/+14Why would you want to watch some dude known as "surf the net" while they watch porn while talking on the phone? Are they some dyslexic cousin of Papa Smurf or something?
- Magnolit, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11removable battery!!!
- BlueStarr, on 05/11/2008, -0/+11Baffling comment.
- jm1234567890, on 05/11/2008, -0/+12If the screen is smaller we will all have to evolve smaller fingertips.
- virtualball, on 05/11/2008, -2/+13Developers won't have to redo their code to fit both generations and existing apps should just work on the new OS with minor code changes.
- raleel, on 05/11/2008, -1/+11the picture says that it decreases battery life :)
- eVolutionVI, on 05/11/2008, -1/+13As long as the new iPhone actually utilise HSDPA or HSUPA on its 3G connection I'd be very happy. Digg me down but most american folks don't even know what all of that means. Sure hope old mr Jobs actually LOOK further than the US Market. 3G = 384kbps, HSDPA = 3.6mbps or even 7.2mbps on one of the networks in my country. I really want an iPhone, but I don't want a substandard thing. First iPhone didnt even make it to my country... :(
- cnicodemus, on 05/11/2008, -0/+10It is pretty ***** obvious that the 3G iPhone is coming within the next month.
- ross., on 05/11/2008, -0/+11The vast majority of 3G phones have a 'webcam' on the front, FYI.
Also, if Steve Jobs saying "we're releasing a 3G iPhone next year" (which is this year) isn't evidence enough, I don't see how this make it any clearer. - Tarsmus, on 05/11/2008, -8/+18I don't mean to be offensive, but you're a dick... Oh wait, I think I meant it.
Digg.com: If someone doesn't know everything you know, Flame 'em! - PurgueFlantar, on 05/11/2008, -1/+11RTFA. Seriously.
- fanboydcs, on 05/11/2008, -0/+9I hate this argument, Just buy the griffin battery that plugs into the dock connector if you travel, the iPhone has a full OS, if consumers were able to take the battery out imagine how corrupted the iPhone's OS would be, people would remove the battery while the iPhone was running. Also with the griffin battery you just plug it in which is much easier than any other phone. Yes it will ad bulk, but who cares you would be carrying around an extra battery anyways..
- deadnoob, on 05/11/2008, -1/+10I wonder if they are going mess with the design of the phone. Probably not.
- ofenza, on 05/11/2008, -1/+9Noone gives a ***** about your brico-pimped samsung GH-whatever, dude.
- mark076h, on 05/11/2008, -2/+15what happens if you get a 3G iPhone but you dont have 3g coverage, will it use the edge network this article is the first mention of being able to fall back to edge?
- BlueStarr, on 05/11/2008, -1/+11So buy a similar product like this one to help extend daily battery use.

The All-New mophie ‘Juice Pack’ is designed to extend the time you can Rock, Talk, Surf and Send with your iPhone This is the first Apple certified ”Works With iPhone” attached battery in the world! The Juice Pack is a rechargeable lithium polymer battery in the form of a non-slip, soft grip case. It extends the time that you can... - hckynck20, on 05/11/2008, -0/+83G is fast but you better plan on bringing a charger with you i used to have a blackjack and i would barely get 5hrs of battery life with loading a few pages here and there, it drains the battery big time.
- haylel, on 05/11/2008, -0/+7If you live in an area that isn't 100% covered (probably a lot of people), it switches back and forth constantly and makes your battery die VERY quickly. I learned this first hand.
- Appleologist, on 05/11/2008, -1/+8I do prefer the darker outer edge (and thinness) of the iPod Touch compared to the reflecting aluminum metal.
- blackjack75, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6Well i's not only 3G, it's the fact that you use a web browser. That takes some processing power too. My laptop doesn't last 5 hours either.
- yabos, on 05/11/2008, -1/+8You *could* easily create that UI yourself in interface builder. Just saying...
- mark076h, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6they better not make the screen smaller, that would be stupid
- superkendall, on 05/11/2008, -1/+7The Apple Fan's best revenge is that you have to actually use the Samsung every day, and think you enjoy it!
Delightful. - mrhahn, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6Does anyone really use video chat? Most (newish) phones here in England are 3G-enabled and have cameras on the front, but I don't know anyone that's ever used the video chat feature (except maybe when they first get the phone, just to try it out).
- inactive, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6You are more of a "fanboy" than most of the Apple USERS you try to mock. Shut the ***** up please.
- eVolutionVI, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5You'd think that and honestly... I'd like to think that as well. But then you get a phone that is 'still coming' on Sony Ericsson's site, the G900, with its touch screen and all...with 3G only. It makes me so angry I want to just go and punch SE in the face for their stupidity! Trust me, they are not the only ones either....
- blackjack75, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5A camera on the front is essential for video calls. Think about some of Nokia's phone (can't remember the model) that have one camera on one side and the screen on the other, making video calls impossible.
You'll soon realize that if you want to be able to both take picture and do video calls you need:
a) a camera on the other side of the screen (to take pictures while watching the target)
b) another camera on the same side as the screen (to film your face while watching the other person). - Blandyman, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5I love the N95, but I agree that the iPhone is indeed about the UI. The features are secondary. The N95 has its market, as does iPhone
- BlueStarr, on 05/11/2008, -3/+8I'm sure you're use to hearing the same thing from time to time.
One man army? Handel says it all. You're a follower not an individual. - fanclerks, on 05/11/2008, -0/+6Damnit, ran out of time to finish editting. I wanted to add this to my above comment:
I personally love how most of Apple's stuff is intuitive and easy to use and hate the interface that comes with the WinMo devices. Now you might not like the interface and prefer the WinMo platform, but that's your preference. That's the great thing about choice. If you don't like it, don't get it. As I stated before, there are better devices out there hardware wise. I don't care. What I care about is the experience, and that is something that all other developers are still struggling to catch up to Apple with. - wonkavsn, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5802.11x, please
- ricodued, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6"Ignorant: unaware because of a lack of relevant information or knowledge"
That would make him ignorant. Not in a pejorative sense, but ignorant none-the-less. Indeed, ignorant is a better term here than naive. - piwy, on 05/11/2008, -0/+5Nope. You can have the code for gps in there, but just not enabled on the non gps phone.
Same as they will have code to handle 3G on the phone that does not support it. - ArchangelZLT, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4FYI: It's Apple ][.
