iPhone V2 – Rumor Number 446
So we’ve got it on authority that the second-gen iPhone is already well into testing, and numerous units are floating around in super secret pockets. A trusted source got a chance to check one out, here’s what we’ve heard.
That’s the opening of Engadget’s post earlier today – that also says we might see the V2 iPhone introduced or even shipping by as soon as July. Between this, and all the various financial analysts comments this week, it really does seem like more and more ‘smoke’ is pointing towards Apple announcing the new 3G / V2 iPhone at the WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) next month, and seeing it available to but within a month or two after that.
Some of most interesting things Engadget’s sources have passed on about the next iPhone:
- Same size an shape as the current model – sounds good
- 3G and ‘proper’ GPS – yes please
- Battery still not removable – not good
- Phone slightly thicker than V1 iPhone – fair enough, if tnat was needed for GPS or similar
Check out Engadget’s post HERE to see the full list, including some of the notable physical and design differences.
So how many are getting ready to sell your current iPhone / other devices / soul in order to get ready to grab the V2 later this summer???
count me in as one of those soul sellers for v2.
I can’t believe how much v1 has integrated its way into my life, and with the promised increase in speed that a 3g iPhone with possible gps I can’t imagine not making the jump to v2 – unless its just too cost prohibitive.
There’s still a slight hope that it might be an australian release first
