2nd-gen, 3G iPhone: same same, but different?

Your IT - Mobility

Block says the phone could be introduced “as early as July” – or it might only be announced then, with a ship date to come in the future.

Block also warns that we’re dealing with Apple here – and nothing in rumour land is ever set in stone.

Things could change, and change dramatically, although one would think it's a little too late for massive changes to occur if we're to see a new iPhone in just a few weeks, with rumours of massive orders already placed.

It is, after all, Apple and Steve Jobs. Anything is possible, even a delay until the end of the year, improbable thought that seems.

Sadly, we don't yet know if Bluetooth has been improved to support keyboards or A2DP. We don't yet know if there will be an official copy and paste facility. We have no idea if the battery capacity has been increased to deal with the extra strain that 3G and GPS will place on the battery.

We still don't know whether the camera will be 5 megapixels, as the new chip inside is supposed to be capable of handling. We don't know if the 3G iPhone will be able to record video. There's no word yet on a front facing camera, either - or a myriad of other 3G iPhone unknowns.

So, until we get - or hear about - the magic Apple invite to a special iPhone event, the 3G iPhone rumour bandwagon will continue rolling on. Feel free to jump on, or off, as you see fit!

Update: New information has emerged on the black "3G iPhone" case. See my latest story "Shock: new black 3G iPhone case – is just a 2G iPhone case!" for more information.
