Let us all for a moment believe that last week’s rumor of new iPhone hardware is true. With that in mind, let’s all settle in for the latest batch of rumors regarding the new hotness from Apple according to the Boy Genius. BGR’s sources within AT&T have revealed a slew of tasty morsels about the upcoming handset announcement.
First and foremost is the announcement date, which shouldn’t come as a surprise anymore – mid-June. AT&T and Apple have been working on a U-Verse app that will allow you to control your home DVR. The new iPhone will be much faster than previous generations with talk of wicked fast HSDPA. This next bit is a bit out there, but we’ll let you decide.
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?
And on a completely unrelated note, AT&T will begin selling a $99 3G netbook this summer, but it won’t be packing Windows.

I hope the battery life on the new device is better, I find myself charging quite a bit. I also think the addition of video would be huge and the ability to video chat would just be sooo cool. I’m looking forward to WWDC as I’m not sure there will be some kind of announcement. There seems to be lots of rumors about a netbook, but just rumors at this point. Although that would be very cool, I just wonder if apple could price it correctly to win over the market. Having a netbook with linux is kinda good enough for the things I use that machine more. Don’t get me wrong, an apple netbook would rock, just needs to be priced right. I guess we’ll have to wait and see….
Does this tie to the prior rumor about larger LCD purchases in Taiwan?
Is this an iPod remote that controls the TV and browses?
linux obviously…its free.
just hope the next iphone has video conf.
Hope this one doesn’t freeze up as much as the older model.
Is that the best picute of Paris Hilton you could find? I’m sure if you e-mailed her, she’d send you a much better one.
Psh, all I care about is the storage capacity of the iPod touch.
The new iphone definitely needs to be able to picture message and foreward texts. As well as delete individual text messages rather than just clearing the entire conversation! also zoom & flash for the camera would be nice.
I dont know why but people dont mention these things in the forums & for me & everyone i talk to personally, they’re the updates we look forward to and wish for most.
Hopefully apple is aware of this!
i just hope The next iphone would have vídeo conf call that way i can chat with my friends And be able to see them at the same time. can’t wait!!!!!
A great feature would be for Apple to include an ir port on the phone. Then, in addition to the other cool stuff it can do, it can work jut like my harmony remote. This would be SWEET!
