Next Gen iPhone Specs "Leaked"

not bad for a hand held device

But, real talk: wouldn't the upgraded processor and memory size actually increase the rate at which the battery is used?

Meaning, it's going to require more recharges than the previous generations of iPhones.

Dang its all Jane today.

I don't see the point in releasing a new product unless the gap in performance is going to be greater than double, it just makes it more difficult and confusing to develop for a specific device.

HTC has been offering phones with these specs for over a year now. Apple sells antiquated hardware at hardball prices. I am not amused...

Whenever an iPhone discharges the user is forced to plug it in and then iTunes pops up with the latest "appz" (usually games, farting machines and alike), so I don't see why Apple would want it's customers to recharge less often, or maybe bigger batteries are more expensive and a company that sells overpriced phones can't afford them ...

Not a bad thing at all. You do better articles than the other guys.

I think that the processor and RAM will use newer manufacturing techniques so power usage will probably stay pretty much the same.
Anyway it seems like only a small bump in the specs.
I'm sure Apple could have improved the battery life a little but probably not by much since there's only so much space for the battery, and lowering the consumption would have ment less performance. Maybe a new screen to use less power ... Anyway I think that while people will be complaining about bettery life and non replaceable battery they'll keep buying the iPhone so it's not a real problem for Apple. Apparently the specs aren't a priority for them either, the new phones out there have 8 MP camera, 1 GHz CPU, HD video recording... Oh well

I can read chinese and this is bogus information...

Obviously a prank from chinese site.

For the most part.

Any device that doesn't allow me to replace the battery...and wants me to pay some obnoxious fee to have someone else open a case and replace it...is a device I will not buy.

That would be like buying a projector...and when the bulb goes bad, have to ship it in and pay 2x what the bulb is worth for someone else to open the case and screw it in.

That and for me I like having longer battery life on a phone, especially for trips. My phone, camera, and sansa all have very long battery life. I don't need to worry about them going out on me and wearing down durring the day/night.

So for the iphone its battery and replacement is just too ineficient of a notion for me to even consider. That said I'm happy for everyone who likes their gagets. To each their own.

Why would an American built product be shipped to an asian location for testing?

It's probably a knock off (with some enhanced specs)

American-built product? Ho ho ho...

The zune has a higher clocked processor, for what little its worth. The Iphone's might still be faster though.

This does not go into very much detail IMO. Where is the type of CPU? The CPU in the iphone is already 600mhz clocked down. Does it have the upgraded PowerVR 2? Double the ram is good and double the storage is good. No higher res screen is kind of lame. The auto focus is good but the 3.2 megapixel would be a let down. I call this article bogus and until I hear an official anouncement I won't believe it. With those specs it would still outperform the Pre.

Here is what I expect the iphone 2009 to have.

OLED higher res screen, double the storage, 5 meagpixel camera, PowerVR 2 multicore, faster CPU, and better battery.

"What are you talking about? iTunes never opens up when I plug my phone in."
if you are running vista, when you plug your phone it..it will open up a window asking what to do with the drive or USB device...
when you link it by default to itune...that will open up itune every time you plug it in.
this screen could be fake or real. but the main point is if it's just a small upgrade like this...I am not going to pay another $xxx
just to get it 10-20% faster...the only exception is the memory is now up to 32G...which can hold more of my songs..but then again...how much would all that memory chip cost?
it's not like it's a 500G notebook harddrive for $100...
it's going to be expensive to have 32G memorys.

interesting, the Toshiba phone has been at 1ghz since February? its thinner and has longer battery life, i was really hoping for some shocking specs.
