It has *not* been confirmed.
It is extremely likely though, given Apple previously saying the iPhone has an annual product cycle, given when Apple announced & released each previous iPhone, and given the recent leaks & the "lost/stolen/sold iPhone prototype scandal". |

I'm looking to take the plunge into the iPhone world when I upgrade at the back end of the year.
I'm on a £35 a month contract now, what would I look to pay to get the iPhone...or would it be available for free? I doubt it given that they are about £500 PAYG but with more networks taking it on...is it drivin the price down? |

Fascinating quote from that article: Quote:
[the Chinese factory where a number of suicides have taken place recently] are trying to solve the problem by hiring counsellors, playing soothing music on production lines, increasing wages and asking new recruits to sign a '"no-suicide" contract.
How the f**k do you enforce that!?

![]() There's lots of dumb procedures around. If a police officer is jailed, their police force convenes a disciplinary hearing to sack them. What a waste of time and money. |

I've held off buying a new phone for a number of months now (this is the first time i'm buying a phone that is cutting edge, pretty big moment for me!), and i'm wondering if anyone knows how long after the announcement it is that they release it.

The 3GS was announced on the 8th June last year, & released on the 19th June. The 3G was announced on the 9th June 2008, & released on the 11th July 2008. |

Obviously O2 are under strict orders not to release info before tomorrow evening. Plus workers for the various networks will have undoubtedly signed an NDA or it'll be written into their contracts not to release info until they are allowed to. Nobody wants to get fired.
But the report in the op is a good guide |

Yes the new iPhone is expected to be confirmed by Steve Jobs this evening about six BST. There is loads of tech websites that will be covering the event, which is called WWDC2010. Just Google it.

As much as I am sure the new iPhone will be a very good device I will be more than happy keeping my 32gb 3GS, the only things the '4G' are rumored to offer is multiple exchange accounts and multi tasking, both of which the 3GS will get with the new software update so happy times!
I can't imagine apple making an 8gb 3GS, it would make more sense to have the current 16gb model become the base model. This said, until we have officially seen the new iphone and its new software running it is very hard to say what to expect. I really hope apple have a few suprises lined up for this one... widgets maybe? bluetooth file sharing?! I don't want to jailbreak my phone to get these features. |

How the f**k do you enforce that!? By signing the "no suicide agreement" they are effectively agreeing that if they kill themselves their families get nothing, therefore, rendering the act pointless (apart from those who would kill themselves no matter what). It's kind of been blown a bit out of proportion. I wonder how many employees working for the local government kill themselves (biggest overall employer I could think of), I bet it's a higher ratio than at Foxconn. Anyway, big "wahoo!!!", today is finally the day we get official confirmation on what the iphone 4 is really going to feature and be called. I hope Apple managed to keep a few secrets to be revealed today, it would be a shame if we really did already know everything there was to know. I will be happy with 64gb of memory and the flash on the back looks a certainty. I'm not so bothered about the flash for photos, more so for using as a light/torch as I still use that feature on my SEW850i every day. Everything else new and cool is a bonus to me as this will be my first iphone. |

One of the reasons they are commiting suicide is because their families get a payout equivalent to something like a years wages if they die in the workplace. The policy in place obviously never stated suicide would not be excluded from cause of death and so they kill themselves to help their families out of poverty.
