Dutch T-Mobile Showing New iPhone

Sunday, June 7th, 2009

Dutch T-Mobile Catalogue Seemingly confirming Apple’s basic iPhone product strategy for this week, T-Mobile Netherlands’ phone catalog is showing 16GB and 32GB iPhones for 2009 as well as a possible 8GB model.

A pair of tips show an entry known as “iPhone 2009″ in both black and white for the two identified capacities, hinting that Apple will no longer reserve a second colour option for its best model.

Obtained by iPhoneClub, the images also curiously show two different entries for iPhones that are difficult to identify. One simply lists as “iPhone 2009 (NTB)” while another is “iPhone 3G 8GB Black V2.” The former may just be a placeholder, but the second is less clear; the potential exists for it either to be a continuance of the iPhone 3G as-is after the new launch or else simply a minor, mid-cycle iPhone update that already exists in stores.

The 32GB instance has all been assumed to be in development due to the nature of flash memory technology but, if borne out by Apple’s WWDC keynote tomorrow, would represent the first capacity upgrade to the iPhone since the original iPhone was given a 16GB choice in early 2008.

Thanks to BlueRotKev for this one.

New iPhone Capacity Approved?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

Apple Icon Apple’s new iPhone will reportedly have a massive memory range available (the normal 8GB & 16GB, plus the new 32GB) and from a trusted source have just been approved by the PCS Type Review Certification Board – the standards body responsible for certificating handsets for use with some carriers (AT&T for instance). If true, this would lend credence to the belief that Apple will be introducing at least two new models this summer at the WWDC. Because it seems unlikely that the company would be looking to wrap high-end hardware around ridiculously light storage or vice versa, this means the approved carriers around the world could be able to sell the lower ‘spec’ iPhones free on all tariffs. It also reinforces a precedent set by devices like the Nokia E71x that consumers can (and should) expect hot smart phone hardware for shockingly little cash. Here’s hoping…

Mr Blurry Cam Strikes! Two iPhones?

Sunday, May 31st, 2009

iPhone 1iPhone 2 There are two sides to this coin. On the one hand, the handful of pictures that have just popped over on UMPC Fever demo many of the features we’re expecting to see in new iPhone hardware this summer – magnetic compass, autofocus camera, video recording capability, and a battery percentage meter in the status bar. On the other hand, having a good feel for those rumoured features makes it that much easier to mock up ridiculously blurry shots of them in action. The compass seems a little overdone, but then again, it’s not necessarily out of place considering the direction Apple has taken its voice recorder app in 3.0, so we’re going to play the cautiously optimistic diplomat here and say these could very well be real.

It’s possible that we might be looking at two new variants of iPhone hardware here. Note the difference in styling between the phone on the right and the phone on the left? If we’re to believe what we’ve heard about the future of the line, these could be the first photos of what Apple has in store for WWDC. The model on the right might easily be that matte version heard about already… but that thing on the left? No idea, though it would be an insane move on a counterfeiter’s part to fake something so bizarre. What we mean is: it’s almost too weird to be fake.
