Hear that sound? It’s the sound of millions of iPhone owners’ brains clacking as they consider whether they’ll get away with giving their handset to their other half as a present, in order to upgrade to the new 3G model when it comes out. It’s a delicate one: a secondhand iPhone comes some way behind diamonds innit.
Anyway, the rumours about the exact date and nature of the 3G iPhone launch are mounting, with TG Daily reporting that it’ll be announced at Apple’s WWDC 2008 conference in June, priced at $399 for an 8GB model, $499 for a 16GB model, and maybe even $599 for a 32GB model. I’d be inclined to think they won’t bother with an 8GB version, though.
Oh, and it’ll apparently be 2.5mm thinner than the first-generation iPhone, with a buffed-up casing and a tweaked accelerometer, but the battery still won’t be removable. For shame. Although we’ve heard inaccurate iPhone battery predictions before - remember all those people claiming the first iPhone would have two of ‘em? - so there’s still hope.
