AT&T: New iPhone will be hot, son : Boy Genius Report

Quote:

We can’t tell you where or who, but pretty high up in AT&T’s food chain, the following was reported to be said:

New iPhone announcement around mid-June (duh)
New iPhone will be faster and have a more seamless experience unmatched by any device (could be just talking about 3.0, but we think it’s also a new iPhone)
U-Verse iPhone application; will allow control of your home DVR (play, pause, rewind, etc.)
The annual iPhone launch is “becoming a tradition.”
Nothing official is being confirmed, but they said that people should prep for an exciting time this summer.
AT&T is said to be working with Apple to create a unified product with an unparalleled experience across all their products and services.
Apple’s 3.0 software should tell us where the iPhone platform is going… uh, k?
They said customers shouldn’t need to choose from AT&T’s high-end devices because of features, they should choose based on preferences. The gap in capability should be filled with the new iPhone. Ok, bets on slide out QWERTY, autofocus camera, video sharing, blah blah?
Seems like the higher speed HSDPA (7.2Mbps) is being hinted at too which should confirm the earlier rumors of the new Infineon chipset.
The $99 3G netbook will start selling this summer, and the first one won’t be a Windows OS.
For clarification, the above is 100% confirmed.

I've been hearing some of the same things about the new model...I heard that it will contain a new Infineon HSDPA wireless data chip that will come in handy, given that AT&T already has 7.2Mbps HSDPA working in the labs, and will deploy 20Mbps HSPA release 7 sometime in 2009

one major feature I wish they would add is the ability to record video

Most of the issues I've had with the phone have been addressed in the 3.0 update.

Landscape mode for most applications
SMS deleting and forwarding
Copy, cut, paste (within and across applications)
System-wide spotlight
Better mail app
MMS
Better mobile me integration

These new features are pretty taxing on the processor, so I assume the next iPhone will have a faster processor and more memory. Apple's recent acquisition of Freescale would play a key role here since Apple has in-house development of ARM processors.

My iPhone is getting pretty old, and beat up. I'm in for an upgrade soon!
