iPhone 3G to sport 4G radio. AT&T to cut price to $1!
Wednesday, April 30th, 2008Because it seems like just everyone is making wild predictions about the next iPhone, let me share my very own insider story.
The next iPhone will not have a 3G radio, it will come with a pre-installed 4G IMS radio. 3G will be skipped in benefit of gaining an edge over fierce competitors. IMS is the forthcoming cell phone standard enhanced for multimedia support over IP networks. Apple is said to include a Wimax antenna along with the WiFi and WCDMA radio for cell phone communication. This information comes from a very credible source inside Apple whose identity, I can neither confirm nor publish of course.
Also, a high AT&T representative, that also requested to stay unnamed, is confirming, that AT&T will sell the next 4G iphone for just $1 with a 24 month contract, similar to many offerings in Europe. This comes just after some other source at AT&T leaked earlier, that the iPhone could be sold for just $199. Well, let me say this, that according to common wishful thinking, the latest report must be the most accurate.
The next iPhone is also expected to come in a new encasing. Reports say, that it could come in a 7.5mm thinner case compared to the original and that it would include a polished backplate, similar to a mirror, due to common request by female users of the original device. It’s also said to be available both in the original brick form factor, as well as in a more popular clamshell casing.
Neither Apple, AT&T nor the Pope were available for comment.
