What Will Be On The New iPhone?

When the new iPhone is released later this year, will it cause as big a stir as the first version in 2007? Quite possibly, according to an article by Mike Wendland in the Detroit Free Press, which reports that rumors are flying among iPhone geeks about what might be on the new version.   It’s certain that the phone will be 3G, rather the using the not-so-good EDGE network. Additionally it will have exchange e-mail capacity, so users with Microsoft Exchange – meaning a lot of corporate people – will be able to use it, widening the market.   There will also be the possibility to download programs and games via iTunes.   Those are the certainties. The rest are rumors, including iControl, transforing the phone into a remote to control iTunes libraries on computers, and that the new phone will have a black plastic casing. Others are speculating that the new phone will include GPS.   Apple, of course, is saying nothing. But all will be revealed in a couple of months when Apple rolls out its new iPhone.

The status could finally change next year. According to Korea-based ET News, which cites an industry source, Apple will fit an LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) screen across the entire iPhone 17 series, including the rumored slim version and the entry-point model.

It's that time of year once again. The leaves are changing, the weather is getting colder, and it's just about time to set your clocks back an hour. That's right! On Sunday, November 3, daylight saving time officially ends, and you'll need to set your clocks back an hour.
