Well well, what do we have here? It seems as though the iPhone 4G (or iPhone3,1) has been spotted in the wild! Guess where? That’s right! San Francisco.
Now, the iPhone3,1 model number was discovered in the wild by a Bay Area developer in his application’s usage logs. Also remeber how I also discovered iPhone3,1 (and iPod4,1, iPr0d0,1, and iPr0d1,1, etc.) during the iPhone OS 3.0 beta periods (and even recently, they have stayed in the boot sequences for the hardware and other things as well) So this isn’t new, but this is the first time iPhone3,1 has showed it’s head in the wild.
Now, according to Apple’s model number usage, a 1,0 update to the previous model number means that a major upgrade has happened. An example, the iPhone 1st generation’s model number was 1,0 because it was the 1st generation. Now, the iPhone 3G had a model number of 1,2, so it was iPhone1,2 because it was not a significant upgrade.
Finally, the iPhone 3G S’ model number was iPhone2,1 signifying that a major update had taken place. This also signified that a new processor had been used.
So we can expect the next iPhone to be a major update. I predict a new, faster processor, faster GPU, same RAM, both GSM and CDMA support, slightly better camera, HD video support, FM Radio, and iPhone OS 4.0 who’s features I’m not sure of.
So there you go guys, if you are waiting for an iPhone, I would buy an iPhone 3G S now and buy the iPhone 4G (or whatever) in July.
Another small note, the iPhone2,1 (iPhone 3G S) was discovered in logs such as this in October of 2008. That was about 8 months before it was released! So we can definitely expect the iPhone 4G this summer, and an iPhone OS 4.0 announcement in early March.
Now, for the Apple tablet, who knows. It may be true, it might not be true. Apple could easily change it’s model number to be that of a regular iMac to evade detection, remember, this iTab (or whatever) is supposed to be a game changer, and as we all know, game changers usually are kept a secret until their launch. (Or until it’s close to launch).
The iPhone 4g will be sweet when hackers get ahold of it we should be able to use any CDMA or gsm carrier that’s frickin awsome!
if i can have it for verizon i will by it
WTF? u kidding me CDMA? ha never apple will never do that especially since verizon has been lashing at them. they wont go with sprint either. who would? if they even do it would be for overseas and not be available in the us with cdma. at least thats what i think
well thats another point… wouldnt they have to come out with a tool that lets users select which cdma carrier you want? cuz i doubt you could get it flash by the ppl at the carrier u want lol
Ok first off verizon never lashed as apple. AT&T ya but not apple
umm Cheque
look at the “There’s a map for that” and AT&T/Apple’s “There’s an app for that” ads
it kinda looks like verizon was hitting both AT&T and Apple
Well if you think about it Verizon had a ad that went specifically against AT&T’s service rather than the iPhone. It was called verizon misfit toys. It said the iPhone was a good phone but had horrible service from AT&T. AT&T tried to sue Verizon but they failed. Apple on the other hand never tried to sue verizon for their commercials.
ya the theres an app for that is apple lashing at verizon for the droid.
Wow alot of beef out there iPhone vs android
Chino: Lol, tell me about it. I’m causing a lot of anti-Droid activity. I don’t see how it’s an “iPhone killer” or even close. It has disguisting looking software, no eye candy, the phone looks like a pile of plastic with an on button, and it in no way beats/will beat the iPhone. People want elegant looking products with major functionality and a good investment, not a cheap piece of garbage sucj as the Droid.
“In a world of doesn’t, Droid does”? Really? Lol. Worst Ad campaign ever. When I see their commercials, and it’s like, can your phone search, or surf the web, or whatever, I’m like “yes…yes…yes…and yes… Nice try”
Lol hear that!!!! have you seen the new hit on the iPhone calling just a pretty phone. They said do you want pretty phone or android that works for you. Nutz!!!
Verizon is just so jealous
It’s kinda embarrassing that someone on hackint0sh.org wants ppl to port their cydia apps for droid
