3G iPhone Will Have $200-250 Price Tag?
Well tomorrow, we will have a strong picture of what 3G iPhone look like and how much will it cost, but until then, some people try to fake the new device. And some try to figure out how AAPL stocks will behave in different situations, to make some sort of a money. Last year, stocks were climbing up just before the announce, but it was just rumored, but pretty obvious. Then, on the MacWorld this year, some geniuses thought iPhone 3G will be annouced, but it didn’t and stocks felt down very fast. Now stocks of Apple are at the peak, and only hours left for big stock holders to figure out what to do, keep them, or sell them and buy out when they will fall *if they will*. Financial Times posted this recently:
The new version of the Apple iPhone is set to be sold at significantly lower prices than the existing one, in a tacit acknowledgement by the US technology company that its previous sales strategy was not sustainable. Apple has bowed to pressure from mobile phone operators and agreed they can subsidise the latest iPhone, expected to be unveiled by Steve Jobs, Apple’s chief executive, on Monday.
Nominal price of the phone is much bigger, but it will be covered up with AT&T plan prices, and this way AT&T take care of expenses to sell this phone cheaper, to make people buy it. Financial Times
P.S.: Idea is floating in my head that low iPhone prices will probably kill iPod Touch? That’s why they are giving it away with iMac to students :)
3G iPhone in Red color kinda sorta confirmed, will be thicker but thinner.
Leaked pictures, show the thing that we supposed earlier, iPhone is going to be in black and red colors. Those may be not real pics! Rumors been going around it’s going to thicker, and thinner. What I have to say, it turned out to be thicker, but the feel will be thinner, because of thinner edges, just like Motorola RAZR had, the phone itself wasn’t so thin, but it felt like it because it was trimmed with metal and thin edges. 3G iPhone has videocall camera, what a wonder. You will now be able to iChat not only with other iPhone users, but also with Windows Mobile users, using 3G or Wifi if you are able. Photo credit goes to Crunchgear.
EDIT: How cool, when the next iPhone will be about to be announced, I’ll photoshop new iPhone too, to get some clicks on my blog :)
New Rumors Hit 3G iPhone, 22 percent thinner? No-believe.
New *Most likely fake* 3G iPhone specs leaked (if it can even be called specs), here. It’s only 7 days until it’s announce, and yes, rumors are still floating. The picutres on that site shows iPhone in aluminum cover, which is believed to be plastic for 3G iPhone. It will have GPS as supposed, but most likely will be useful feature for car drivers, becausewho will waste battery life on that? Joke. Anyways, I don’t believe this rumor to be true, while Apple really likes to make all things smaller, and smarrel, and then even smaller. This is not the case, it’s not that easy to get twice as much RAM memory, 3G and GPS chips, and what is most important, keep price tag the same! Do not believe in this. [Picture Gizmodo]
New 3G iPhone Photos Discovered, iPhone is getting thicker.
New, almost looking like real 3G iPhone photos are discovered at Chinese iPhone website WeiPhone. The phone meets all the specs that were posted previously. We can clearly see it is getting thicker and wider, and has a 3G Camera to the left. This is not the iPhone itself, most likely these are just bodies. Looks like they are being made of plastic, or painted aluminum, without chrome on the borders. If someone knows Chinese and you can translate what do they say on Chinese website please let me know 
Well this photos only look real, no any confirmation, but the fact that they match 3G iPhone case layouts and photos come from China, where they do assemble iPhones, those may be true. We can just wait for MacWorld this summer.
New Fake 3G iPhone look Fresh From the France
This is it, I totally don’t believe in it, so does gizmodo, but hey, isn’t it nice to think that new 3G iPhone is going to look alot better than some guys want it to be. I think it’s time for Apple to announce that damn 3G iPhone, so those rumors were stopped. This one looks like Chinese fake tPhone with rubber coverage. Apple has a habit of doing everything shiny, well I wish new iPhone will look just exactly like the old one, so I won’t be bothered to change my current ;)
And if you think the front of this fake rumor looks more that awful, try back:
And thanks for iphon.fr for showing us their endless imagination skills.
Apple iPhone 3G design rumor
So here is the rumored 3G iPhone back.
Well, as long as most rumors concerning Apple iPhone are made just to get some attention, I have decided to write my own opinion about this one.
I’ve tried to come up with something that will approve this design, but found nothing that would make Apple do the 3G iPhone like the picture above.
First of all, this one looks like it’s made of plastic. -1, lately Apple does every product made of aluminum, it’s even rumored that they are going to do their MacBook with aluminum cover just like their MacBook Pro and Air. And also Apple does all things shiny, but they could serve a variety for some spoiled UK and French people who would want to stand out of American crowd.
With a little effort yo could do this yourself, not even with a Photoshop, there are commercially available black skins for iPhone.
One more last detail - writing at the back, it’s very blurry and it’s out of format. Take a look at iPhone’s original back, and the first iPhone ever introduced’s back, They look no way like the one on this *most likely fake* 3G iPhone back.
And, last but not least, quality looks extremely crappy, if you had a MacBook and exclusively 3G iPhone, I guess you would certainly found a good camera to get some good flicks, and not only one with bad quality. But you would certainly did the bad quality if this was an attempt to get some visitors on your blog about mobile phones :)
