Is This The New iPhone?

A french blog has leaked these pictures out of what appear to be the new iPhone, to be released at WWDC on Monday.

New iPhone Back-Front

The new pictures seem to fit with the other leaked images and rumours of the new phones features.

iPhone Front LeakiPhone Back Leak

The model in the pictures is running is running iPhone OS 3.0. It shows what seems to be a front facing camera, perhaps video calling?
The matte back and black bezel which seems very consistent with the leaks and rumours so far.
Also it shows it’s a 16GB model, as all of the leaked images do.

As we are getting ever-closer to WWDC on Monday the leaks seem more consistent therefore I believe that maybe this is what we will see on Monday.

The New iPhone Will Have a 16GB Model

You may of heard about the takedown that sites have got about the leak of the 16GB model to become end of life, however New iPhone Back 1this won’t affect the new model it will just mean that they will stop selling 16GB iPhone 3G’s therefore doing this, the market will move onto the new model.

Also the new iPhone Back shows 16GB and so did the Carphone Wearhouse inventory placeholders, along with most of the leaked pictures.

New iPhone To Be Called iPhone Video?

According to a anonymous tip, I assume from an AT&T worker, the new iPhone is said to be called the iPhone Video.
This could link back to the Carphone Warehouse’s Inventory holder which referenced the new phone as “iPhone32GbV3″ and iPhone 16GbV3″, I’m guessing the V would either stand for version or perhaps video.

As with all leaks and tip offs take it with a pinch of salt as nothing is confirmed until Monday at WWDC.

More Leaked iPhone Pictures?

Yet more leaked iPhone pictures have been circulating around the internet, once again the black bezel is shown along with the higher speaker.

The New iPhone Pictured? [Updated]

iphone-500x375

iSpazo recently received an image of what appears to be the new iPhone model.

The picture appears to be taken from a computer inside the Apple site. It has the rumoured black frame and a front camera, video calls maybe?

The photo seem’s to comply with many of the rumours that have been spreading around, the frontal camera and the black frame around the phone. The picture looks quite authentic, however we won’t know till WWDC.

This second photo shows the tethering feature of the new iPhone also with the black frame round the screen.

This second picture which wasn’t sent to them but leaked doesn’t seem as real, the font is different and the spacing is also.

Here are some more pictures that have been leaked out.

Palm Pre, iPhone Killer? Not Quite.

So with the upcoming release of the Palm Pre and the rumoured release of a new iPhone following WWDC. People are saying that the Palm Pre, is the iPhone killer.Palm Pre

Over the last few years touchscreen devices has become very mainstream and most brands have their touchscreen phone, however none of them have come close to what the iPhone has done to the market.

However even with the Palms quicker CPU and sleek design with a physical QWERTY keyboard, here are the reasons that the Palm Pre will not kill the iPhone.

  • The App Store, with over 1 Billion downloads since it’s launch there has never been a mobile software store like it.
  • Games, you may not think it but the iPhone is considered a gaming platform as well as a Phone, due to the App Store and the works of the likes of Electronic Arts, the iPhone have some high quality games. However at current standing the Palm Pre has no games and unless Palm allow deeper access to their SDK, developers will struggle.
  • Show off factor, Yes it may seem a strange thing to compare but if you pull an iPhone out people are drawn to it, they want to see the Apps they’ve seen on TV and heard everyone talk about, but with the Palm Pre people will just assume it’s just another touchscreen phone.
  • The Palm Pre does come with a 3 Megapixel camera with LED flash but for most people who own an iPhone 2 Megapixels works fine.
  • Easy typing, this is only true for some people but I now find it a lot easier to type on an iPhone keyboard than a normal mobile phone, however with a QWERTY keyboard it may be easier but the keys look small and aren’t as adaptable as the iPhone’s on-screen keyboard.
  • iTunes, Yes some love it and some hate it, but it gives users an easy well to purchase new music on the go and a central place for all their media.

Those are just a few reasons that I believe the Palm Pre will not kill the Apple iPhone, it may give a bit of a go at it, but overall the iPhone will remain at the head of it’s market, majority because of the App Store and the 1000’s of Apps.
