New iPhone Summer 2010?

Wall Street Journal a credible source? I can't wait :D

You heard right, folks -- according to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is currently "developing a new iPhone to debut this summer," and as if that weren't enough, it's also "working on another model for US mobile phone operator Verizon Wireless." As of this moment, details about the break are nowhere to be found, but it's not like either tidbit is shocking. This summer will mark the one-year anniversary of the iPhone 3GS, and if the Cupertino-based company keeps with its historical refresh pattern, we're just a few months out from seeing the latest and greatest iPhone. There's also been no shortage of iPhone-to-Verizon rumors over the years, with the latest of 'em happening during the run-up to the iPad's launch.

Update: We're now learning that the "next iPhone is being manufactured by Taiwanese contract manufacturer Hon Hai Precision Industry," which just so happens to be the same outfit responsible for crafting all prior iPhones. That's according to "people briefed on the matter" and sourced by the WSJ. It's also stated that the world's first CDMA iPhone will be manufactured by Pegatron Technology, which we caught just last week dabbling in some of NVIDIA's Tegra 2-based wares. If all goes well, Pegatron could begin mass production of the CDMA iPhone (exact model not disclosed) this September, so it's hard to say if Sprint or Verizon would have access before the all-too-lucrative holiday season. As for quotes on the matter? Most everyone involved wouldn't say a word, but an AT&T spokesman did utter the following: "There has been lots of incorrect speculation on CDMA iPhones for a long time. We haven't seen one yet and only Apple knows when that might occur."

On a week that couldn't possibly get any bigger for Apple, that's exactly what just happened. Everyone suspected that a fourth-generation iPhone was in the works, but having an outlet like the WSJ confirm it just makes the summer that much harder to wait for. There's also the possibility that 2010 will be the final year that AT&T retains its death-grip on the iPhone, but by the sound of this report, it still seems as if the nation's largest GSM carrier may nab exclusive rights on the latest iPhone. We also can't help but wonder about the future of a true 4G iPhone -- will Sprint manage to grab a WiMAX-enabled version? Will Verizon get its grubby paws on an LTE model? We figured only Jobs would know, but now... there might just be someone else out there willing to spill the beans

man, all this talk about 4G, WiMAX and LTE is really starting to bore me. this article sheds some light on the truth of these technologies in America:

I wouldn't push a technology when most of the carriers can only deliver AVERAGE (or less than average) speeds on 3G. take it as a grain of salt, but interesting nonetheless.

imma use my 3g iphone til it days completely. even though i got it for 17 dollars cause i had a lot of fido dollars. the screens cracked in like 3 places and im missing a little chunk on the corner from drops. still running strong though!

My contract will end in Feb 2011 and am hoping for the new iPhone or the N1 by Christmas. Even with the new iPhone, I'm not holding my breath as Apple may just add 3 features with some changes.

New iphone comes out ever year around summer time.

we will see what is going on when the announcement happens in june

Wall Street Journal is credible
on everything but reporting apple news
there is said to be that rumored Apple Spin PR department that will purposefully leak false info and speculation to lead a machine of propaganda

The new iphone wont have LTE, no one has full implementation of LTE in the world

at the same time, i have also heard rumblings that there might not even be an iPhone this year. the iPad simply could be cannibalized by new iPhone sales.
Only june will tell

is it gonna look any diff?

I'm still using my iPhone 2G....when I need to. :lol

of course its gonna look different LOL..
maybe thinner and hopefully they give it a metal housing like the 2g.. the plastic housing for the 3gs/3g was tough but i didnt like the feel as much as the 2g housing even though it looked better..

Here are the differences from the so called leaks and chatting up the apple reps i see on a monthly basis

a higher res, and larger screen is in the works, so the front wont look that different, the only other physical change is that it might lose that rounded back on the current gen for a more sleeker look. ie..less round

There are speculations saying that the tentative announcement is going to be on June 22nd.

more news to say that the "lost" iPhone could be the real deal. The exterior design is indefinite.
