Wired’s Leander Kahney claims to have a “hot tip from a programmer at a major software publisher who claims to have seen the specs” for Apple’s next-gen iPhone, including:
• 3G
• GPS
• 2 x memory (16GB and 32GB)
• 22 percent thinner
• Better battery life
Full article here.
Also, the package will include an envelope addressed to Balmy @ Redmond with a Prosac inside, suppository shaped and a letter to monkey boy:
“Dear Monkey Boy:
The prosac is for you to get calm when you see the sales of Zune compared with those figures of the iPod, iPod Touch and iPhone. It is suppository shaped so you…
Can stick it up your …
Best Regards ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” />”
While I appreciate thin as much as anyone, I would appreciate a LONG battery life MUCH more!
So Apple, yeah optimize and shrink the iPhone’s guts as much as possible, stir in all the battery sucking goodies you can (Bluetooth, GPS, 3G, etc.) but put a kick-ass, loooooooooong life battery in the damn thing!
THAT will REALLY blow people away! Guaranteed!
Skinny iPhone with Big … em … never mind
That rumour is bogus.
Obviously, the new iPhone will be 22% larger, have a flip-out keyboard, an FM receiver, and it will ‘squirt’.
– All the smartest Blum-ian analysts have said so.
A much more important rumor is that Ty Lawson, Wayne Ellington, and Danny Green are coming back to the Tar Heels next year!!!!
I like how so many have stated no more rumors about features, I’ll wait until it’s announced.
The iPhone 2 is still a rumor at this point.
“22% slimmer?!! Hell, I’ll be able to shave with it!”
Or cut cake
By the end of the month, Bo Diddley will be 22% thinner too.
Dude, I don’t even think it needs to be thinner! And it doesn’t need GPS. It already has something comparable.
Just give me a 3 megapixel or better camera, better Bluetooth interactivity with my Mac, and 3G capability.
For me an FM tuner inside iPhone will be the killer app
It’s already the most expensive phone in the world and it doesn’t have a keyboard, which means you can’t do email, which makes it not a very good business machine.
Now, uh, it may sell very well, you know, mmmm, uh, we have our strategy, and I look at where we are, and I like it. I like it a lot.
Wake up and smell the 21st century.
Even I can’t understand our decision to put an FM tuner in Zune.
.mac has been down for hours.
Ron,
.Mac has been down since it was introduced.
MacDailyNews – are you keeping track of all the predictions you’re propagating and will you give us a run down on who was wrong and who were BS come next week, for future rumor control reference?
@Ampar- Yves St. Laurent as well. Sad day in the fashion world. The last of the true “great masters” (imo) is no more.
Just wondering. Maybe the reason they’re changing the name of .Mac is because……..
They’re getting a TON of hits to http://www.mac.com and none of those people want a freaking .mac subscription. They’re PC users checking for Macs.
In addition to the other reasons for changing the name (which was a corny rip off of… *shudder* MS)
An HP employee will even be able to cut his birthday cake with it!
…How incredibly smart are these guys!…
John Gruber at Daring Fireball found that ‘Me.Com’ appears to be owned by Apple.
I wonder if me-too.com is owned by Microsoft?
@Mike Caine,
Thanks for the early morning smile!

22% thinner?
Won’t that make it more fragile?
the touch is significantly thinner and is very sturdy.
Hasn’t Leander Kahney ever signed a non-disclosure agreement? Apple wouldn’t let her 100 miles from their next generation iPhone. And now, they never will.
