Piper Jaffray’s Gene Munster has been saying for more than a year that he expects Apple’s (AAPL) to introduce a “family” of new iPhones in 2009. On Monday afternoon, less than a week before the start of WWDC, the company’s annual developers conference, two reports surfaced that suggest his expectations may finally be realized.

•An unnamed “trusted source” told Engadget’s Chris Ziegler that the PTRCB — the board that certifies that new cellular devices comply with GSM network standards — has approved new iPhones with 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB capacities. The PCS Type Review Certification Board was established in 1997 and includes AT&T (T) among its members
•The Boy Genius Report, a site with unusually good sources in the telecommunications industry, posted what appear to be leaked snapshots of Fido Solution’s product roadmap for the second and third quarters of 2009 that include one slide showing a $99 4GB iPhone 3G. Fido, formerly Microcell Telecommunications, is a subsidiary of Rogers Wireless (RCI), Canada’s largest cellular carrier.

Neither report has received independent confirmation and there are elements of the second that raise eyebrows. Among the specs listed in the Fido snapshot is “Video Calling (iChat)” — a feature that would require a camera mounted on the front of the iPhone. This is not inconceivable, but it would give the new iPhone two cameras — one on the front for iChat, the other on the back for normal photos and videos. That’s a lot of optical hardware for $99.

Updated my iTunes to version 8.2(?) installation in the last couple days. The update was said to include compatibility with iPhone 3.0 software. We can't be too far away from the 3.0 release.

June 17th. New O.S. 3.0 release.

 

I want the new iPhone now, and I just got mine last december!

 

I'm waiting on the new iPhone as well. Can't wait to stop using my BB Storm

 

Don't have to wait that long June 19th

 

Close to Father's day..

 

 

it's a 2 year contract that you sign initially with at&t, right?

so i have another 14 months or so. i guess i'll just wait til whatever's new by then.

 

Yea if you can wait I bet there will be a new iPhone next year

 

Check your upgrade ability on the ATT site. I upgraded a phone and for some reason a few months later, I can upgrade again.

 

I'll probably be upgrading. I still have the original iPhone. The sad part is that it works just fine, but dealing with edge is starting to drive me crazy. Also I could really use the increased storage space. Now what to do with my old phone.....it's unlocked, so maybe i'll keep it around just in case I ever need to go to europe or something.

 

Anyone seen any mention of whether Apple stores will be equipped to tell if you're upgrade eligible for the cheap price? I'd much rather visit the Apple store than the wretched hive of scum and villainy that is my local AT&T store. I'm pretty sure I should be eligible for the cheap price though since I've had the original iPhone from back when the did the first price drop.

 

Go 2 posts above mine. You can check when you try to upgrade on the ATT site. If you can't, it will tell you when you can.

 

<--- Has never registered on the AT&T site and hopefully never will.

 

I'll be ordering thru my company since they offer a small discount on the plan and acc. I had to place the order thru ATT website.

 

This works:

Thank you Sir Scrib!

That indeed worked and confirmed that I am indeed eligible for the reduced pricing.

 

:flipsoffatt:

Since I got the iPhone I have missed MMS messaging, not that I sent a lot out, but did get funny jokes and pics from people.. Well I was excited to see that 3.0 FINALLY had it, and now AT&T announces it will be available LATE summer due to the fact that they have to go and change every effing iPhone user to unblock MMS.

Maybe they shouldn't have blocked such a basic feature in the first place you damned idiots. I confirmed w/ the "Gold" 3.0 7A341 OS that there is absolutely no sign at all of MMS in iPhone 3.0

.. for now anyways. Maybe there will be something new on the 17th and they're just trying to piss off the people who install it early

 

Just as an FYI - The iPhone is price protected; so any hardware discounts you might be thinking about will not apply. Not sure re: discounts on data or voice service [voice.. maybe.. data.. prolly not]

 

do you have the 1G iphone? they said back in march that the 1G iphone wouldnt be getting MMS.

and i dont blame AT&T for no MMS, i blame apple. their OS didnt support it so hence why AT&T blocked it. no need to let the iphone do MMS if the OS cant do it.

 

if this is true then screw you apple.

"new" Iphone=
What i dont understant is why is apple holding some of its features for the new iphone only. they say its a power issue, i call BS. Most old windows mobile 5 phones can hold shit to the iphone power wise, yet they had most of the same features years ago in. The iphone has its interface, but apple is severly kicking its users in the nuts everytime they release a new model. I understand that tech gets outdated, but even microsoft gave original zune users all the software updates of the the newer models. I still have my 3g, but i'm glad i got the G1 to hold me over till the Touch Pro 2 comes out.

 

My question is this....

When I upgrade my software on my 3G iPhone, what things will I still be missing if I don't purchase the new iPhone 3G S??

And, with the software upgrade to existing 3G iPhones, will they be as fast as the new 3G S iPhones?

 

i can answer part of this.. no, it will not be as fast as the new 3GS. i also doubt you will have video capture.

 

that sums it up, it wont be as fast because the iphone 3G S has a faster processor.

 

if its a hardware difference that right there explains why its not on the new iphone, cant add something to to an older device when it had no possibility to do it in the first place.

and the iphone 3.0 OS works all the way back to the original iphone

 

I really don't see the problem with the new iPhone. They've upgraded performance and added new technology while still allowing previous owners to, at the least, upgrade the software to make use of many of the new features they've been asking for like copy and paste and many other perks.

If anything, the cost to upgrade the software on the iPod Touch is a little stupid even if it is only $10.

 

I know, that why I said on the plan and accesories.

 

I got the email and reserved my new iphone today!! WHOO HOO!!
