Will There Be A 3G Apple iPhone This June?

Author: WendyMatters Total views: 5 Word Count: 456

This is probably the most widely leaked secret in the IT community - there will be an Apple iPhone 3G released this June. We've had confirmations from the hardware specifications released by VodaPhone for Italy.

So what does this 3G mean and why wasn't the Apple iPhone a 3G in the first place?

The meaning of 3G is "3rd Generation". These types of devices can use one of two data protocols of competing cellular phones,and allows them to download at speeds of about half what a DSL line gives for downloads, and almost equal speeds for uploading. There are only assumptions as to whether or not the 3.5 generation protocol HSDPA will be picked up by Apple iPhone 3G.

The HSPDA is dominant in Europe hence the source of the speculation of Apple iPhone picking up the protocol. HSDPA networks are used by Both VodaPhone and StarOn. There are press releases, announcing Apple iPhone 3G seen since April on the Internet. "A 3G Apple iPhone is guaranteed to happen in the next three months" was the words of Walter Mossberg of the Wall Street Journal, back in April in a round robin press conference.

The interesting question to ask is this: Apple plays their industrial design secrets close to their chest; we already know the Apple iPhone in a 3G configuration is supposed to be slimmer (about 3 mm), and of course, it'll have a faster data access.

So where's Apple's over-hyped secrecy? There was a signing of non-disclosure agreements during the launching of the iPhone last year, before journalist could see the hardware. So one can only imagine if Mossberg spoke of its 3G connectivity, what other cool features does Apple have in store that he is unable to speak off?

Speculation on that has ranged from the 3G Apple iPhone having built in GPS capabilities, to new software from the Software Development Kit released last February, to graphic acceleration. (Apple has publicly released announcements about integrating with Microsoft Exchange-driven "push" email, the major competitive advantage that Research In Motion's Blackberry has.)

A release of an 8MB and 16MB iPhone was announced to take place this summer - some hardware specialist, overall success of the MacBook Air and of course the Flash RAM of the Apple iPhone 3G may be higher.

The battery life is the one thing that is sure to remain unchanged. Though it is a let down for Apple iPhone fanatics we cannot expect much of a change; the facts are obvious, the 3G Apple iPhone is thinner and has a more powerful radio. This will prevent an expansion of the battery capacity the size that is, and its powerful radio will consume even more juice.
