32GB iPhone 3G on the way at last? E-mail

If a iPhone 3G 32GB model will come this year, it will certainly cause a flurry of global coverage, and will help Apple to compete for market and mind share at a crucial time – the Christmas / end-of-year / holiday shopping season that all companies love and dearly want to take maximum advantage of.

I’ve personally held off from buying an iPhone 3G for precisely this reason, and because I also have an iPhone 2G with 8GB of storage that I’m very happy with, why rush into an 8GB or 16GB iPhone 3G when a 32GB model seems inevitable?

AppleInsider also reports that AT&T’s systems are showing up a “fifth” option to purchase, entitled “Home”, which suggests that “in-home activation” is on the way.

It also raises the possibility of unlocked iPhone sales in the US, at higher prices, for tourists who want to buy an iPhone 3G and use it back in their home countries, something that currently is not possible with US iPhone purchases.

If Apple and AT&T allow this, it’s also likely because the iPhone Dev Team (and others) still have not figured out how to unofficially unlock the existing iPhone 3G, thus also allowing locked iPhone 3G sales as they must be activated at home via iTunes to be of any use to US consumers.

Apple is known to have worked with Infineon to make the unofficial unlock process exceeding difficult, especially considering it hasn’t yet happened, although iPhone fans do all live in hope.

So... no concrete confirmation just yet, but in its place a juicy rumour instead. That’ll do for now!
