Will There Be A 3G Apple iPhone This June?
Can it be concluded that there will be a release of an Apple iPhone 3G in June? This is one of the most widely spread secret in the world of IT. The hardware specifications for VodaPhone in italy confirmed it.
What is 3g and why wasn’t the Apple iPhone a 3G in the initial stage?
3rd Generation is the term represented by 3G it can use one of two competing cellular phone data protocols. This allows for unbelievable download speeds that are about half what a DSL line gives for downloads, and very nearly equal for uploads. Only sheer speculation have covered whether or not Apple iPhone 3G will pick up HADPA, 3.5 generation protocol.
However, that speculation is based on a lot of information that’s coming from Europe, where HSDPA is the dominant standard. Both VodaPhone and StarOn use HSDPA networks, and press releases announcing a 3G Apple iPhone have been around on the Internet since April. Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal stated, in a round robin press conference that “A 3G Apple iPhone is guaranteed to happen in the next three months” back in April.
What one should be concerned about is this: The industrial design secrets are kept close to Apple; however we do know that this design will be slimmer, and of course,the Apple iPhone 3G will make data access much quicker.
But where’s Apple’s vaunted secrecy? When the iPhone launched last year, all the journalists had to sign non-disclosure agreements before they could see the hardware. If Mossberg can talk about 3G connectivity on the Apple iPhone, what new tricks does Apple have that he’s not allowed to talk about?
Speculation on that has ranged from the 3G Apple iPhone having built in GPS capabilities, to new software from the Software Development Kit released last February, to graphic acceleration. (Apple has publicly released announcements about integrating with Microsoft Exchange-driven “push” email, the major competitive advantage that Research In Motion’s Blackberry has.)
This summer is the marked time span for the release of an 8MB and 16MB iPhone well so it have been announced - some hardware experts, mention of the success of the MacBook Air will be made, that this may be a red herring, and the 3G Apple iPhone may have a higher amount of Flash RAM.
One thing that likely isn’t going to change, given the thinner form factor, is battery life. That’s something of a let down for the Apple iPhone devotees; the 3G Apple iPhone is thinner and has a more powerful radio, which will prevent an expansion of the battery capacity in the first case, and consume more juice in the second.
