New iPhone to be announced today :D
 

I was going to critique Desire's last comment in the HTC Desire thread, but a newly announced iphone is too juicy a subject :D

so instead of comparing the aged iphone 3GS+iPhone OS 3 to the spangly new Desire et al, what are the conversations going to be like from tomorrow ? :D

I guess apple will be on top of the tech pile for about a week before samsung/htc bring something else out, but the game will definitely be back on :)


it's been confirmed as having a 960x640 res screen - eye strain :confused:

I thought it would be announced at the end of the WWDC which is Friday isn't it?

:)

Predicted spec is apparently......

Steve's keynote is 6pm here (10am PST).

iPhone is way too important for that -- it'll be in the Keynote.

Streamed live by lots of different websites (and running commentary by Marcus on here I expect!).

Steve

Coming in late to this thread. No it'll be Monday when/if it is announced, stuff like this will always be part of the main Keynote, which is today.

Our dev team is down there this week so whatever is announced/released I'll have pretty good feedback from them all about what is going on. Who knows if it is indeed released I would expect at least one of them to bring a device back with them. Oh dear, it'll have to go to QA for them to test our app's compatibility with it, what a chore that will be ;)


Possibly. Unlike last year where I was working from home, I'm in an office this time round and though the team might all be down at WWDC I've still go a fair bit of work to do for an urgent release so I'd fully expect to miss the whole thing :D

Couldn't bag yourself a seat on the jolly Markus?

:)

chefdude has gone from asking when the new iphone is coming out to blooming starting threads about it now :lol1:

I've paid for internet@sea just so I can gloat in all the Apple goodness.

So when is it being announced?

from 6pm

he'll have to tell everyone how wonderful the current ipad, app store is, etc market share blah blah

i reckon 6:20pm and he'll be talking about it.

Alas not. Perhaps next year. It does mean I will get stuff done without devs breaking the code :D

for uk release when???

I was reading on another forum that the new iphone spec is a bit of a let down especially hardware wise, it was supposed to shake the world technology wise but apparently its not that big a leap from the existing iphone. Of course it will be an improvement but apparently its not exactly ground breaking.

Swiss will be over the moon with this:

:D

thin, thin, thin!

not sure thats the best selling point in the world but I am watching for the big "game changing" moment!

It can't load the New York Times website ;) Quite fancy one though, until they reveal the price...

Oh no! the iphone 4 is broken already!

Looks like Steve is having some problems with the new phone, I guarantee it wont be apples fault :lol1:

10:43AM "One more time... sorry guys..." Wait, it's loading. The audience is oohing!

10:43AM Someone is going down for this network glitch.

10:43AM "I'm afraid we have a problem and I'm not going to be able to show you much today... let's just go take a look at some photos here... take a look at that." Wow, this is striking -- huge difference in quality.

:lol1:

Amazing that so much can fit into such a little toy. Adding gyroscope.

Gyroscope... Steve read my emails!!!

Wi-fi problems? Who'd have thought? ;) Stand next to the wireless router mate ;)

He listened to you too, Antenna is the outside edge of the case, even living so far from a transmitter you should get a signal. Time to upgrade fella, want to sell your 3GS?

Ah yes, but I thought there was no issue with reception. :D

P.S. I don't live far from a transmitter ..... but you knew that didn't you :D

Couldn't help myself, much like yourself :D

Video Calling! Gash!! Could have spent that effort on something useful. Even a face as handsome as mine doesn't need to be shown live on a phone.

Rumbled ;)

Joking aside though it does have some great new features. Crikey, did I just say that? Nurse!!!!!!!!! ;)

I guess that's it. The iPhone is now the best spec'd phone as well as having the best operating system and interactivity. I doubt the physical specs will stay on top for long, but there's no chance the other two can be toppled, not with todays advancements.

My favourites, the Gyroscope and class leading battery life, I'll be recording GPS and Spatial position, listening to the iPod and taking calls whilst flying acrobatics on my Paraglider. Maybe I'll record, edit and upload a video at the same time.
