32 GB iPhone Advertised, 16 GB iPhone Reaches End of Life

It is called a product life cycle in the world of Apple, and the iPhone 3G's life is effectively over now.

Im just hoping for an early July release rather than later, and will be interesting tos ee what they will offer for people already in a 3G contract seeing as the 3G iPhone was priced up subsidized in an 18/24 month contract scenario - can't see them letting anyone upgrade without paying full ££££ for the phone itself

Reeko has said pretty much what I was going too say. I would be very surprised if the timing was not going to coincide with the people coming to an end of 2G 2 year contracts in the USA but, of course they were only 18 month contracts in the UK.
The big unknown, as he says, is the price of 3G upgrades as everyone who got one is still in contract.
Luckily I'm not in contract so all I need to worry about is when yellowsn0w comes out and the price differential between a 32Gb and what I could get for my 8Gb 3G on fleaBay

Just a thought... If in fact the iphone is getting video editing.. turn by turn and ... blah blah... couldn't it be possible.. I am forgetting what gen of ipods.. but apple would use 2 4gig flash to make 8 gigs... anyone think that if they are phasing out the 16... it could be to bring in 32 and 64?

oh... they aren't HDD so i doubt its for for the netbook... but they did purcahse a ton of them... and they must be for something... come on June... !!!

Does this post update? Please ignore...

I'm ready for a 32gb model. The selling point for me will be more CPU speed & at least double the ram.

It would be dumb on Apple's part to discontinue any size. Sell the phones.
8gb - 99.00
16gb - 199.00
32gb - 299.00

There are a lot of people that won't pay 200 for a phone an iPhone under a 100 will make even more sells.

Glad i waited for the 32g iphone.

**confucious** · 05-23-2009, 04:15 PM

But you're still waiting and are likely to be for at least another month while the rest of us are enjoying our phones

I'm also waiting for the new iPhone 32GB but leaning towards the new PSP to be honest.

This is great. 32GB will be plenty for me so that I don't have to sync every other day.

Because they tend to have more music - what did you think I meant?

**StealthBravo** · 06-05-2009, 02:21 AM

Do your sheep like a lot of room for music?

**confucious** · 06-05-2009, 02:23 AM

Of course - very musical sheep round here

**StealthBravo** · 06-05-2009, 02:25 AM

Lmao! Poor innocent sheep!
