Apple surely isn’t pleased with odious prototype pictures and videos of it’s latest creation, iPhone 4G but readers are surely delighted. To add more to it, we have Digitimes with some exclusive report.

As report split up, FoxConn will be shipping 24 Million Pieces of the latest iPhone which is expected at the Apple’s WWDC (World Wide Developer Conference) on June 7th. 4.5 million units in first half and rest 19.5 million in the other half.

THe device will sport FFS (fringe-field switching) technology, which makes it more sensible for the “coming of the iBooks to iPhone” by making the viewing angle wider and better viewing quality under sunlight. Arm Cortex A8 processor, 512 MB ram all ready to welcome OS 4.0 to iPhone 4G. iPhone panels have been prepared to fit in larger battery by shrinking panels by 33%.

iPhone 4G coming to AT&T this June?

Posted on by

What we are seeing hints that iPhone will be releasing this June. Why you ask? We’ve got a little piece of information, AT&T which is iPhone’s official carrier seems to pull back the upgrade eligibility dates. Users noted that instead of the end of the year, it’s been pulled back to end of June. June is the month where every year, Apple draws it’s curtain off the new iPhone and upgrades.

In short, instead of begging it just wants you to pay and get the freaking iPhone 4G.

Here’s a picture of the upgrade page from MobileCrunch.

While those who are eligible for upgrade get hands on the new device for a little less cash. None of the companies, Apple or AT&T, have made any official announcements regarding this matter. Confused?

So , why is AT&T doing this? It could be perhaps, iPhone may become available for more carriers following this launch, so probably AT&T wants to rope in as many customers possible. Another reason, they don’t want to lose their current customers who are tired lamenting of AT&T’s amazing service (yes, i am being sarcastic).

But for now, those who are eligible will get a shot at the new iPhone for sure!

The new iPhone 4G : Dragged into the Wild, red hot from the factory

For all those people who expected about a dozen posts conveying how the latest iPhone 4G would look, guys here’s the real deal. The iPhone 4G itself and it’s very difficult to say it’s not made by the Cupertino’s notorious company because we’ve got enough evidence to turn your mind. (Thanks Gizmodo)

Let’s talk about the iPhone 4G, in depth.

Design

The new iPhone design isn’t revolutionary or something like that, but Apple has kept it simple but it still scores as  you couldn’t have expected anymore simplicity with all sorts of complex features wrapped inside. They’ve got a front facing camera too!

The round back (which i hated) is no more. It’s all flat like a football field now. If you’ve used a iPhone you would be familiar to the globular style shaping on the edges but the new iPhone has lost it and replaced is replaced with flat lining with metallic finish.

The Back is still plastic or glass, quite obvious because they could have used aluminium but it would have costed the iPhone reception problems which is basically the priority in mobile devices though they have used it in the borders.

All buttons except the home button have now been reformed to match the borders and have turned metallic. The symbolic joint volume switches are now separate (the ought to be, it’s a selecting the correct button and pressing it).

Lastly, this iPhone completes the complete Mac Family, it suits the rest of the products by Apple especially the iPad, MacBook and the iMac. The squared of feel also makes it look more elite compared to previous versions. Overall it is a game changer indeed.

Hardware

Geeks, gather round here. The new iPhone has a new standardization and is also a proof the genuinity of the the product. The components are so Apple-ish it is very difficult to deny that it could be a fake tip.

The Phone’s dimensions – 4.50 by 2.31 by 0.37 inches. The battery is larger than the 3GS battery, they managed to fit this in by minimizing the rest of the components inside. I’ll recall the mentioning the front facing camera, it’s up right next to the top speaker on the phone.

Folks over at Gizmodo claim the new iPhone to have a higher resolution than the previous generations. It uses a micro sim, yes the one that’s in iPad.

Talking about the camera, it camera’s lens is probably larger than the current iPhone and is now supported with Flash too!

Finally.

That’s all what we know about the new iPhone 4G though we could not have the feel of the phone running as Giz couldn’t pass through the Connect to Itunes image as the OS for the new unreleased iPhone isn’t obviously available.

For all those still tinkering how did Gizmodo get hands on the new iPhone, here’s the story.

You are looking at Apple’s next iPhone. It was found lost in a bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS. We got it. We disassembled it

It surely is a much better improved version compared to the older version, and it’s transparently visible with the classic appearance of the device.

Everyone around is confused around about what would be coming up at the Apple’s Media Event (27th January at 10 am PST- Live Coverage here) except the man himself, Steve Jobs.

Here’s a complete mashup of what could be coming up later in few hours!

Apple Tablet

Name : iSlate/iPad/MacBook Touch/iTablet/iBook.

Dimensions : 7 inch or 10 inch

Operating System : Modified iPhone OS / Mashup of Mac OS X and iPhone OS

Features : Will Run iPhone Apps/ Serve as Ebook reader/ Games would be core functionalities/ Media is also another target/ Live Television with paid subscriptions/ Music, as always/ Might have a camera

Pricing : $800 / $1000

iPhone 4G

Name : iPhone 4G / Something even better?

Dimensions : Screen Dimensions to be larger than current one of 3.5 inch (480 by 320 pixels) because partner developers had been asked to present Applications of higher resolution for the iPhone.

Operating System : iPhone OS 4.0 (hopefully)

Features : 5 Megapixel Camera and slimmer iPhone. 64Gb iPhone could be possible. LED flash to accompany. Also, rumors are up that it will have a touch sensitive back cover and a removable battery. Front facing camera could also be possible for enabling video conferencing!

Update : Seems like only Software (iPhone OS 4.0) would be out and not hardware. OMG! [rumor]

AT&T and Apple breakup

Tens of thousands of iPhone users on AT&T network were very angry with it’s service and this does bother Apple a lot. AT&T has got a exclusive deal with Apple till mid 2010 and so, Apple might decide to chuck it off for it’s customers.

AT&T has had huge problems managing the network due to excess usage from Bandwidth eating iPhones. Rumors were also around that Apple might have a exclusive deal with Verizon to become the exclusive dealer for iPhone.

Migrating from AT&T to Verizon would require hardware changes but you see, Verizon has got 90 Million Subscribers and Apple would happily make the changes to make a shift from GSM to CDMA! [Via DailyFinance]

iPod Touch to get Camera

This rumors been around for ever since the last Apple WWDC, and actually companies which make covers for iPod touch had also published up covers with camera holes for iPod touch but nothing happened and Apple remained silent.

This time it’s much likely to happen as Apple has ordered 50 Million Megapixel CMOS Image Sensors from Omnivision and you know that Apple’s really not going to use them all for iPhone!

We had written a post as to why Apple did not add camera to iPod touch earlier in 2009 and why will it add it now, have a look.

iLife

Newer version to be out, most probably. Name could be changed to iLife X and not 2010. Ask why? Apple does not show iLife “09″ on most of it’s websites, so mostly it’s definitely  not going to be iLife 10. [Via TheAppleBlog]

Garageband

Social Media integration could be the most prominent feature. Better Facebook and Twitter integration. Also, it will make use of Snow Leopards 64 bit technology very well.

iMovie, iWeb, iDvd, iPhoto

All of the softwares will get ready for integration with Apple’s mysterious tablet device. Social Media integration is on the rise. Usage of 64 bit technology for good. Better Face recognition in iPhoto, iDvd for Blu-Ray Dvd’s (Maybe?), iMovie’s user interface could possibly get a revamp and iWeb to get better themes and better add ons this time.

iWork

Newer version of iWork could make editing of documents much easier and faster. Better stuff for iPod and iPhone and especially the mysterious Apple Tablet!

iTunes 10

This version of iTunes could bring a whole new integration of Tablet computer to your computer. App store for tablet could make an entry. Much more access to iPhone/iPod/Tablet via new version of iTunes. Social Media integration, like other, to enter here too!

Apple to release iLife 2010, iPhone 4G and Tablet device (iSlate) on 27th January

Recently, Apple sent out media invites to all their press guys regarding their press event on 27th January at San Francisco. The invite had a colorful background, just like the one’s we have at Holi (Festival of colors, mostly celebrated in India) and focused on the statement,

Come See our latest creation

You know what this points out to. iPhone 4G and morever the Apple Tablet device, iSlate. Fox news says that they had a talk with Apple guys and they said that the event was meant for unveiling the new Apple Tablet (iSlate) and iPhone 4G.

Nice! Apple is getting the needed buzz and it surely doesn’t like empty seats at press events!

Rumor : iPhone 4G to have LED flash

Posted on by

Much Expected. Motorola Droid, Nexus one and nearly most of the top-end smart phones have got a LED flash.

Why is this needed? To capture pictures where light occurs faintly and for Apple, the reason is the growing competition. The Proof is that recently Apple had ordered huge number LED flash components (numbers are as high as 10 Million) and the provider this time is Philips Lumileds lighting sector.

Frankly this isn’t a great innovation but it is something that is necessary and it’s obvious that it might be surely coming to next version of iPhone, 4G. A disadvantage could be the battery consumption part which many people would overlook but i guess then the hardware would be ready for that.

Another interesting part of the story is the Flash Components “Luxeon Led” which Apple has ordered are meant to be usage with 5 Megapixel camera’s. So now, the earlier rumor of iPhone getting 5 Megapixel camera gets a stronger base.
