Wow that sounds pretty interesting and not too far fetched. I think the 3GS was over hyped in the sense being that its faster but that's all it really offers. I think other features on the 3GS can be done through hacks on 3G phones.

Who cares about 4G? 5G is where its at

The bezel shots, the new screen with the higher speaker, the ichat camera.

The 4G is obviously under heavy development prior to the 3GS launch and your probably right.

Leaving it till next year will leave all the massive OS developments to first be unveiled as the new tablet's differentiating features when compared with the 3GS, and the bam the 4G iPhone comes out with allthe updated features aswell next July.

OMG, Are we ready for 4G iPhone rumors already? Time to fire up the rumor mill!

I hear the new iPhone will have an iChat camera in the front, and will have a glowing apple logo on the back. They will also have an iPhone Pro edition that will have 512 mb of ram and a 1 ghz processor.

^ this rumor has been going around since the release of the 3G[s].
And all of the new features that may come ^ it may make a person switch from T-Mo to the hated/expensive AT&T......just sayin'

Yo SB, please explain all the black bezel + higher speaker/ichat camera pictures that emerged then.....

These where never proved false, just put to the side because of the 3GS

I hope so, I would love to buy a new iPhone

But the 3G[s] follows Apple's product release mentality. Never give the public too many upgrades at once when they can release another one shortly after and pay again.

Those photos could have been from early concepts of the 3G[s] and they decided to scrap those features to save money, they could be just fakes that no one bothered debunking, or they could be from another phone to be released in 6 months. I think its possible that they could release another iPhone around the time that the new iPod drops. They will need to add more features to the iPhone to blur the lines between it and the iPod, especially if the iPod 3rdGen will have a camera like rumored.

Very true.

If you recall, the information on the back of this phone matched up exactly with that of the 3G S. It was probably a different build to identify who would be leaking information if pictures got out.

That's what I heard, the 4G network will be coming in 2010 or 2011.

Just yesterday I talked to my partner about why I wasn't bothered about the 3GS; I have a 3G with 8 months O2 contract left to run so an upgrade would be >£££. I told her I'd rather nurse this one until next June when Steve Jobs is fit enough to announce the 4G. Seems I'm not the only one who buys at revolution stage not evolution!
1G(touch)->2G bad
2G->3G good
3G->3GS bad

Doesn't always skip a generation: Newton 2100 was the best tablet and v2.1 effectively. Beats M$ 3 version rule though!

[StealthBravo]

I will just buy every upgrade

[Poseidon79]

iPhone 2G > 3G = evolution
iPhone 2G > 3GS = revolution, lol.

The 2G and 3G are the same phone when it comes to the elecronics and the OS. Ok the 3G has the "3G" capability but the ram and processor can't keep up with the data flow so it chokes.

[westerman]

i just think that the 3g should have not came out so early because the 3gs is what the original 3g should of been not just more memory and a plastic back. the 3gs is a good phone but i think that they should of just held off until att became 4g because they would got a giant boom in revenue with the 4g than with the 3gs
