I wouldn't be surprised to see this happen as Apple every year has a new Ipod product. Do I like it? No but its the progression of technology, you have to live with the choices you make and always have the idea that within a year, or even less, your product is out of date. Even phones you buy NOW, already have two to three different models in the works. You guys can't complain for the progression because you will never win. Its bound to happen, if not next year by years end.

Definitely not complaining. Just seems a little over the top for them to release a phone for $600 and in less than a year tell all their consumers it's now obsolete. Haven't seen too many other manufacturers do that. I've seen other manufacturers release totally different models like clockwork, but never the same model to replace one they just released.

Iphone 2,
32 gig,
wxga screen res,
3.5 g (hsupa),
a 3 meg cam with video,
mms,
PTT,
expandable screen surface so you can double the screen size if needed
the phone will be locked to your dna so no one else can use it
and if a foreign sim is put in it will explode (only a small explosion)

You forget, they need a nano... They did patent a dialing technology based on the same circular dial they use on the iPods...

Lower market point, simpler tech...

Ahhh, the next big thing the ipaper phone. its one sheet of flexible screen material. you can bend and fold it to whatever size you want. it has molecular sound wave technology that enables any part of the surface to either emit or record sounds. it can be one big or small screen and speaker at the same time. oh and did i mention no battery it is bio chemicaly charged by the ions from your breath when you talk. Oh and i have all of these technologies pattented so dont be getting any ideas


coming next itoilet paper (you dont want to know)

Change cycle with Apple is around 9 months average - and you can put CASH on there being a new iPhone in the spring.
They will still sell the old one at $299 and the new one, with GPS, video camera, etc. 32 gb of RAM will be $399.

If you think the iphone wont have a RAPID upgrade cycle then you arent paying attention - the iPod is fading (just a little) Apple could be selling 100 million iPhones a year in 3-5 years. The nano iPhone? Thats a certainty. Smaller, cheaper, 2 or 4 gb of RAM, small screen, phone and ipod only.
It WILL come.
This is NOT a computer co. anymore. Viva convergence baby!

The iPhone and the iPod will become one.

Next up: Apple must get more INTO the music biz - Indie low-cost production and exclusive release is where its at as the majors fail and fade, and the 'stars' become old and retire.....

What? Do you guys think everything will be in the old Windows v. Mac paradigm? Fuggedabahtit.

RAM? Random Access Memory? What good is 32 gb of RAM? You cant store anything with RAM. LOL.

[Jdbwood]

i heard the newer and bigger GB IPHONE will be coming out in mid december or january and it will also have a lot more features. i have a freind at apple.

[aglitch]

i hope they skip the 16 gb model and go straight to 32 at least...

If they can only learn from NOKIA how to make a proper phone and i'll be more than happy.

My wish list:
5 mega pixel camera + zoom
Video + zoom
3G AND WIFI
Double speaker
MMS
Bluetooth that works with other Bluetooth devices
Character + message counter for SMS
Support all languages.

Hopefully we will see all that on the iPhone 5 ???

[eg6motion]

makes sense, its apple, they create a new model every year or less...and people keep buying them. Truth is that there are morons that have a stack of ipods because they keep buying the new version...but generally their new version does not have more features...or very few. Their trend is that they make a product with x number of features...then make that same product slimmer.....then make that same product have more storage....then make new product.

Yes it's actually still called RAM. What did you think was on the iPhone? You can't make ROM read/write. The 'not so' new hip term is Bubble Memory. Meaning it keeps the data in place even when the device is turned off.

I hope they upgrade from ATT to Verizon or even T-mobile. Now that those two companies know the strength of the iPhone. I've never had a drop call or bad signal with T-Mobile in LA county. Now, everything I look at my phone I see a No Service Indicator all the time with ATT.
