3G iPhone Specs and Prices?

Saturday May 31, 2008 5:04 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
MacRumors has heard some unconfirmed whispers about the 3G capable iPhone due at next week's WWDC. Besides 3G support, the following features/specs were also passed along, mostly consistent with circulating rumors:

- Lighter weight
- Black + other colors
- Focus on Multimedia with Video recording
- Video Conferencing
- GPS
- 16GB $499
- 32GB $699

As with all pre-release specs, confirmation can be difficult and intentional misinformation may be common, so we provide it for interest alone. If released exactly as described, this would eliminate the $399 8GB iPhone, keep the $499 16GB and add a $699 32GB model. This, however, does not necessarily preclude the possibility of a low end iPhone suggested by Kevin Rose in an rumor earlier today.

WWDC kicks off on June 9th with a keynote address by Steve Jobs.

$700 would seem retarded.

They had to drop from the $600 price point after 2 months to increase sales...

So where do "unconfirmed whispers" typically come from?

$700 sounds outrageous, but it might be subsidized this time around.

anonymous and otherwise submissions and contacts. I don't post on even this sort of thing unless I believe the information is passed along in good faith - in that I believe the person is telling the truth and they believe it to be true... and didn't just make it up themselves.

For random, anonymous submissions that could very well be made up, well, I usually don't post those.

Prices don't sound right. One would expect the prices to stay the same or go down.

Unfortunately the prices sound right to me! $699 is steep but the Functionality will be out of this world! Other phones may have 3G and GPS etc but when it is implemented correctly it is effectively allowing you to replace a multitude of devices with your iPhone. That appears to be the angle taken so far and could very well continue. Steve will spell it out and sell it in such a way that it wont sound so bad!! LOL

$699 for 6 devices
Phone
iPod
High Speed Internet Device
Portable/Automobile GPS Unit
Video Communicator
32Gb Flash Drive :)

Also keep in mind that a 32gb iPhone would mean even more Apps that you could put on the phone because, we all know that the App Store is coming!!

I can imagine some of the great games that will be released may very well take up quite a bit of room!
