I keep hearing about the iphone 4g coming out in late june july and will be on all networks. However all I can find on the net about it is that apple are planning to announce a new phone in june. Has this been comfirmed by apple and am I looking in the wrong places. Or is it still speculation ?

Multitasking is one of them, nothing will prize me away from my jailbroken 3.1.2 though, nothing.
Get the HTC Desire instead.
Sure, do this if you are poor and like phones that are lulzy
How Apple have ripped people off for years is amazing - credit where its due they have a great Marketing dept.
There are much better PCs, Phones and MP3 players out there than what Apple produce.
Oh come on, thats probably the most immature thing ive ever heard anyone say regarding the iPhone. I have more than enough disposeable income but I have yet to crave an iPhone. My HTC Hero also does everything I need and more, plus I can customise to my needs anytime I want. Different strokes for different folks, fanboy
While i agree the Desire is a superior handset, your use of language to be constructive leaves a little to be desired.
i changed it just for you.
do you love me now?
It hasn't been confirmed but Apple tend to do a yearly product refresh and the iPhone 3GS came out last June.
the iPhone is simply that, the iPhone - the reason it was called the 3G was because the original incarnation was only capable of EDGE speeds, the second was the 3G with a 3G capability and the 3GS (third) was capable of 7.2Mps which is why the S means "speed" .... 3GS(peed)
when the next iPhone comes out, if they call it the iPhone 4G then they're confusing 2 separate markets - 4G communications and a fourth generation handset.
Given that we're still using 3G communications systems, until the 4G networks have their standards defined and are fully rolled out, the next model will still only be a 3G phone, so calling it a 4G will likely cause confusion with the telecoms industry (not the punters, they won't get the difference) but the next model will almost certainly NOT be called an iPhone 4G, Apple will probably drop the reference to 3G/3GS and go "back" to calling it an iPhone
the whole concept of the iPhone was that the user wasn't using a specific handset device, they were using a phone integrated with an OS that would make it useful for the user, so Apple having to keep reminding customers of it's capabilities is kind of getting away from their original intentions for the platform
Aren't the Iphones for poor people too?. They're hardly in the same price league as a Vertu.
Rumous are it will be the iPhone HD as it will support high definition (720p?).
My guess is the 2011 iPhone will be the iPhone Full HD
in 2012? iPhone FFS?
Its a combination of things that make the iPhone the best device:
The best UI of all devices out there
Pretty Good Hardware (though the phone reception could be better:cool:)
and lots of very good useful apps.
Out of contract so just waiting to see what may or may not be released by Apple for the summer.
So, you don't like iphones but anyone who does is a fanboy?
And I don't own either but my contract is up next month and I'm sitting on the fence until I see something I like.
But it was Apple who called the new iphones 3G and 3GS as they needed to differentiate between the different models, which doesn't work too well if all models have the same name.
Care to contradict yourself any more?:rolleyes:
The 4th version of the iPhone won't be using 4G so that won't be its defining feature. The specs won't be revealed until June (probably), but the strong suspicion is that it's defining differential feature will be a higher resolution screen, hence the expectation of it being called the iPhone HD.
Things also get very muddled when we start talking about the OS versions (which are also on an annual development cycle), as those simply go up in numerical order each year, and iPhone OS 4.0 has actually been announced as on the way (and expected to be released alongside the new iPhone hardware when it appears). Up until now all iPhones got updated by new iPhone OS, though there is a suggestion that may not be the case with iPhone OS 4.0. The iPhone 3G will only get a subset of the new features (e.g. no multitasking), and the original iPhone (2G) may not get OS 4.0 at all.
I have multitasking with "Proswitcher" and folders with "Categories" Multitasking would not tempt me away from from my Jailbroken phone.
