3rd Generation iPhone Rumours Roundup
June 8, 2009
Later today at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) we should hopefully be finding out more from Apple about their 3rd generation iPhone, what it will look like design-wise, what specifications/features it will have and a definitive release date of when we can expect to be able to buy one and start playing with it for ourselves.
However, before that official announcement we thought it might be good to take a quick look back at some of the rumoured features that we’ve reported on in recent months.

May 20, 2009
We’ve been following several third generation iPhone rumours for the past few months as like everyone, we’re very keen to see what Apple might have up its sleeve for the next iteration of its successful smartphone.
Engadget has reported on a rumour that it has picked up on via the Wired website saying that the third generation iPhone will feature an OLED display, which would tie in with a rumour that we’ve already reported, it will have a matte black rear casing (without the metal band around the edge of the iPhone which I’d be quite pleased with), a glowing Apple logo similar to on MacBooks (not sure on that one – would that not waste of precious battery power?) and perhaps most importantly a release date of 17th July 2009 which wouldn’t be long after the Palm Pre.

No doubt that this will become a commonly used application as the technology develops.

April 6, 2009
We recently reported about the new iPhone 3.0 software that Apple are planning to launch later in the year for existing iPhone/iPod Touch owners and also for a rumoured new 3rd generation iPhone, which from looking into the development specification of the iPhone 3.0 beta software, people are perhaps getting a sneak peek at what can be expected from the next iPhone product.
Wireless radio component specifications contained with the iPhone 3.0 beta software would indicate support for a new Wireless/Bluetooth chip model – the newer and faster Broadcom BCM4329 chip instead of the older BCM4325 found in the iPhone 3G. This would add support for the 802.11n standard and would mean there’d be several benefits to the 3rd generation iPhone.
