“Apple’s iPhone is coming on June 29th, and surprisingly few details have been leaked about the phone itself, beyond the original specs described in January,” Mac Rumors reports.
Mac Rumors reports that they’ve obtained the official list of specs that Apple lists for the upcoming device.
Most of the specs are no surprise, but the list does show that the iPhone has an accessible SIM tray.
Full list here.

They say no GPS.
A good idea would be to make GPS part of the Car integration Bluetooth Kit. That way the phone battery is not drained with the voice directions and all. Who needs GPS at walking distance – Come on people…
zero surprise. not even sure if i believe it….
what is the service plan, that is the mystery.
at 4 1/2 inches by 2 1/2 inches makes this bad boy a rather large thing in one’s pocket
Interesting (and delicious) that they’re not supporting Windows Vista on launch, even though iPods now do.
All GSM devices sold by Cingular/ATT have SIMs, so the fact that the iPhone has a SIM slot/tray isn’t news…
MDN Word: plans – Who knows what Apple really plans for the iPhone? Certainly not a rumor site. We’ll know when Apple tells us.
sim tray? hmmmm.
looks more is going to happen. ka-BOOM
“• External Controls
– Volume Up / Down
– Ringer / Silent
– Power / Lock
– Sleep / Wake
– Menu Button”
why does it need a lock button? have they not seen the onscreen lock?
No GPS and SIM tray….no big deal
I say possibly an “accessible” SIM tray in the 2nd generation w/ 16GB storage and GPS in the 3rd or 4th generation w/ 32GB storage
Usb 2.0 required? I hope not, or I can’t get an iPhone… Still using a PowerMac G4 and a PowerBook. Neither have usb 2.0
@Lyle
Buy a USB 2.0 expansion card for youe PowerMac G4. PCMCIA expansion cards w/ USB 2.0 capability are available. Both are relatively cheap.
Or just buy some new Mac hardware.
Lyle: There you go then! Finally a good reason to upgrade.
Is that an iPhone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
My T-shirt pocket is 4″ wide and 5″ deep. You couldn’t see one if it was in my T-shirt pocket.
You’d want one on a belt attachment so muggers could see it anyway.
Read it again – it says it DOES have a SIM tray…
The SIM tray issue has always been bogus. In the keynote address where Steve describes iPhone, he points out the SIM tray. Believe me, if that spec had changed, Apple would have edited that part out of the vids posted on their web site.
I’m sure GPS is nice to have but I would really need 3D GPS to find places in multilevel underground shopping centers within a metro station that has 14 exits.
I still hope they put a flash in it. Still cameras are virtually useless without a flash. (Especially ones with small lenses, and hence week low light capability.)
Why the iPhone doesn’t have a vibrate option is beyond me. How is one supposed to use the phone on silent without missing calls? How can that not be a problem for business customers and customers like me where at work, the ring must be turned off? And it looks like the camera indeed does NOT support video. Unless that’s something that can change via software or firmware, it’s also disappointing. I guess I need to focus on what it does have than what it doesn’t. Gen 2 iPhone has some serious room for growth it looks like. Regardless of the drawbacks, I must have one now!
Disregard my last comment on VIBRATE. Another post shows it indeed has it. That’s good. What’s not good is no camera video, no GPS, no 3G, and no voice activation. Those omissions for me are huge. Alas, I must have one.
My bad on the SIM tray. Need to eat more carrots.
What? No 802.11n? That’s the deal breaker for me. That along with not being able to install third-party apps, battery is non-replaceable, no GPS, physical keyboard, can’t run Parallels, no Microsoft Office and to top it off, it can’t turn into a table top.
Apple sure messed up the iPhone.
@ Jim of Davao.
Just shut up! If you are out to provoke or incite reaction why don’t you just say that you own a Zune and love it?
At least we would understand why you are so full of the brown stuff!
Incontinent Git!
Amazing it is that so much conjecture on capabilities decided can be by reading a simple list of specs. There is much power of the force in MDN readers.
Or maybe I should just say, “May the Schwartz be with you.”
Hey Camel Milk Drinker,
I think your sarcasm meter is broken.
This can’t be official because we all know the phone isn’t quad band. It was only certified to have 2/4 frequencies. Maybe I’m wrong, whatever. I’ll believe everything when I power that sucker on

I’ll buy every version they release. I’ll even keep the old ones in a shoebox, just like every model iPod I have collecting dust. Ahh, the good ol’ first gen iPod with it’s FireWire port on the top and that funky scroll-wheel contraption. Someday I’ll be able to show the grand-kiddies first hand examples of true innovation.
