Look, we're not definitely saying that Apple's gonna
announce a new iPhone in 16 and 32GB capacities on
Monday -- we'll leave that sort of certainty to
Unkie Walt -- but we
will say that the evidence is starting to get overwhelming. Today's whispers bring us "iPhone32GbV3" and iPhone 16GbV3" inventory placeholders popping up in mammoth UK retailer Carphone Warehouse's systems, with each size notably coming in both black and white editions. That's the first inkling we've seen of color choices, but we're not making too much of it, since it's entirely possible whoever entered this info was just hitting all the possibilities. We're also not seeing anything to indicate that
rumored cheaper 4GB version either, so there's a lot still up in the air as we get closer to the
Philnote -- keep a sharp eye, we'll let you know.

Yes there will be a 32GB model and yes there will be a white option. That's a racing certainty.
The question is: what else will it have?
iphone...I reject!
the real questions is...will it blend?
YEA, I CAN'T WAIT TILL JULY 17th, I am still using an online version of the iPhone like the Interactive iPhone but hopefully I will be able to get this new one as soon as it comes out.
The only thing the new iPhone will have is a stupid glowing Apple logo!
But you filthy bottom feeding iClowns will eat up the regurgitated slop and give praise to your false master!
AHAHAHAHH!!!
stupid iPeople...
@iNEEDaniPhone
Wow! An online interactive iphone. My oh my, what is the url to this wonderful service?
I really wish you and your cohorts would quit spamming the comments with this advertising.
@ iPhone_vs_Pre:
I looked through your recent comment, and although you slander the iPhone here, you praise it in other comments. There is nothing wrong with a company refreshing a good design if they keep the price the same. It's not like the automotive industry where they change the bumpers and charge you an extra $5,000.
Carrying the apple logo enhances your sex appeal, sad but true :D.

It's called a "troll." You know, trying to get a rise out of people regardless of the topic. It's a sad cry for help.
New iPhone V3. Now in 2MB and 4MB flavors, in the UK only of course.
My bad, it should read...
New iPhone V3. Now in 2GB and 4GB flavors, in the UK only of course.
Haven't heard enough rumor's about the V3 getting an AMOLED or higher resolution screen. Lack of one or both will disappoint me.
Extraneous apostrophes disappoint me.
Apostrophy fail o_0
Rumor is what?
I've actually been thinking of getting an iphone... been holding off in case they do release a new model in the next couple of days/weeks. Considering they like the black/white color choices on their other products I wouldn't be surprised it being an option for the iphone going forward.
Boy I sure hope more space and 3.0 isn't all they have to offer for iPhone V3. I mean that's a nice update and all but competition is going to get real stiff in the next few months and I doubt Apple can keep up if this is all the have up their sleeve.
I'm not much of an Apple follower. In fact, I'm getting a pre and even I know the V3 is already rumored to have more than OSX 3.0 and higher capacities.
- OLED screen (possibly at a higher resolution)
- Faster CPU
- GPS chip
- Glowing apple (snicker)
Add higher capacity and a much improved (read: caught up) OSX 3.0 to the mix, and you have some COMPELLING reasons to upgrade or think twice about the pre..........
I know I am.
WTF is OSX 3.0? That's like OS XIII?
@ Honza... (its spelled honDa!)
Are you really that dense? the iPhone uses a mobile version of OS X and its the 3rd revision
Bigger capacities are always a good thing, but I'm going to need to see some hardware upgrades if Apple wants to sway me from the Touch Pro. I know the chance of a physical keyboard is 0%, but a nice OLED screen would be a step in the right direction.
Will definitely be interesting to see what happens.
so the new one wont be 3G?
this is what i get from reading those codes
Why would it not be 3G? o_O
Apple isn't stupid enough to slow the data connection down.
Nope. No more 3G. It's going to have a string that you connect to other iPhones. The string will also second as a jump-rope app.
Be blessed.
u owe me $357.99
my sarcasm detector just blew the fuck up. then there's the cost for smoke damage, not to mention i have to get this fire extinguisher recharged.
my lawyers will be in touch
@ mere
you must live in New Jersey... sucks to be you
man, are we going to be pissed if it turns out to be a regular iphone 3g shipped with os 3.0 hehe.
well thats not going to happen.. worst that could really happen is just a capacity upgrade. and the overwhelming evidence suggests more
NOT trolling here... is anybody really thrilled for this new iPhone?
Unless Apple has something up their sleeve we haven't heard of (at least, us laypeople without bleach-white goatees), is there anything compelling enough other than a memory bump-up that has people interested in the new iPhone?
Are people with iPhone 3Gs considering upgrading? Are people with the original iPhone considering upgrading (or looking at the Pre?).
(Its a real question, not a rhetorical one. Please reply with your honest answer!)
If I can find a way through my work to upgrade and only pay the price of the device with discount... I will get it.
I have a 3g, and im planning on upgrading. OLED screen and better battery life sounds A OK in my book.
But if that makes me an idiot for upgrading just for that, then well.....i dont care.
Well, if you look at the jump from 1st gen to 3G, they threw a 3G radio in, a GPS, doubke capacity, and upgraded the OS to 2.0. I'm predicting they will throw in a nicer camera that does video, double the capacity, and upgrade the OS to 3.0.
All in all, going from 1st gen to 2nd gen wasn't enough for me, so I doubt going from 2nd gen to 3rd gen will be enough either. However, for people that still have the 1st gen iPhone, it might finally be be enough to warrant an upgrade.
I still hope the screen is nicer. Not that the iPhones is bad per se, but I know there are nicer ones out there.
I'm really looking forward to it.
I've been waiting for a 32GB version so hopefully its announced on Monday.
Why not upgrade (from either 1st gen or 3G)...?
I will likely upgrade my 3G as I did last year with my 1st gen. [based on rumors of new features] The improved camera, front camera for iChat, upgraded memory, faster processor, OLED?, and whatever else they put on there will make it well worth the upgrade.
The hardware upgrade from 1st gen to 3G was HUGE in my book (better form, much better speaker, etc.). I would imagine the new iPhone will be more of this good stuff.
absolutely going to upgrade from my 3G.
the White 3G is going for $450+ on ebay now, and I bet it'll still be going at ~$400 even after the v3 is announced next week. So, by selling my old one on ebay, spending $299 and extending my contract for another year, I "make" probably close to $100, and will gain:
- OLED
- Faster processor (It's likely that Apple introduce features (multi-tasking?), or options to developers that you don't get with the slower processor)
- 32GB (HUUUGE for me. Now I'll actually be able to have all my music on my phone :-)
- Much higher quality auto-focus camera with video and a flash.
- A compass (complete w/ API so applications can tell what direction your'e pointing)
- A 2nd front-facing camera (?)
- A rubberized casing built-in
Ever since the iPhone, I have effectively stopped buying all other portable gadgets. With 32GB and a nice camera, they'll take even more market share from the dedicated PMPs, as well as the P&S camera industries.
The Pre isn't even an option for me, though I will admit that its software does appear to best the iPhone's in SOME (but not most) categories.
My 2 year contract will be up in one short month (early July.)
I will most likely upgrade my 2G to a 3G v2 then. Even if the only upgrades are to a 3G radio and a 32GB capacity, that's enough for me. Maybe it's not enough for you Nokia users who had these features for 3 years now. But I can't afford $800 phones every year. Once a lifetime was plenty.... Plus, I don't need to video conference nor do I need to take huge cellphone pics. Multitasking would be nice though. If there is no 3G v2 32GB option or $199 16GB option, I will stick with my 2G. I will wait for my storage space at a reasonable cost.
With the profit margin they could easily stuff 64gb or more in there
@crawdad
Most of what you want has been available in phones for one heck of a long time !
Have you even heard of Nokia or Samsung ? Do you know the N82 has an awesome 5 MP AF camera with a Xenon flash ?
If people are getting so excited about 3.2 MP cameras with AF, I think its 2004 calling. SDHC cards + built in flash have been meaning 24gigs easily for a while now. OLED screens with much better resolutions have been here for a while.
And please stop with the small sensor, MP does not count crap. Coz if u really bought that theory you would not mind keeping a 2MP cam. Admit it, you want more MPixels.
Apple stock is ON today. No doubt the next version is going to make the Pre its bitch.
Look for a drop after WWDC. Almost always happens. Especially if there is no $99 iPhone.
Actually, my Pre stock was more ON today. But I do own both. :)
I think lot's of phones could make the Pre their bitch. That one is shaping up to be about as revolutionary as the G1. Tons of hype that started to taper off closer to release and then a fizzle.
And was ANY of this whole line of fanboy flapping really even necessary?
About as necessary as your response to it. Hypocrite much?
You could always just search Google
Regarding the story; I'd say that the kind of person who'd be responsible for updating Carphone Warehouse's stock management system is also probably the kind of person who'd read Engadget (or equivalent). If Carphone Warehouse know anything then all other similar organisations do... and if they're divulging these details down to the lower echelons someone would almost definitely have leaked it already. So concluding: it's just a guess by a stock manager or developer (as previous posters said, there will be a 32gb iPhone and it will be white) and this is probably just a placeholder.
Wait - it's shiny, white, AND has an Apple logo on it? Where's my wallet?!
Well, the screenshot says "32Gb", not GB, and as everybody knows, 32Gb = 4GB.
For that matter, 16Gb = 2GB, so maybe *that's* the new iPhone Nano everybody was freaking out about a month or two ago.
;-)
...that's totally true...
Actually you're wrong. 16Gb and 32Gb is 2 and 4 Megabytes respectively.
LOL my bad. You're right it is 2GB and 4GB. I did my conversions halfass backward
you know what happens when you speculate; you make a "spec" out of "u" and "late"...
uhhh, or was that assume???
hmmm...
Say you work for a company that produces product specifications. One day your boss asks you to have a specification for a particular gadget done by tomorrow. However to do this it means you have to actually take measurements from the prototype you have in front of you and enter them into the analytic program, which does a very computationally intensive analysis that takes many hours. Or, you can try to guess the measurements and enter them in. However, if you entered the incorrect numbers .. the analysis will still take a very long time and by the time it's completed it will only show that errors were made .. and you'll have to redo the whole thing. My point is that it's better to take the measurements because when you speculate, you make the spec late.
New iPhone V3. Now in 2GB and 4GB flavors, in the UK only of course.
when you make an assumption, you make an "ass" out of "u" and "mptions"!
Shut up about the damn new iPhone already!
We all know it's coming, you don't have to repeat it over and over and over again 5 times a day
no no, you should be talking about how nice you think it will be
Of course there will be a white one.
If we are lucky more variety than white and black
Maybe they can eventually make a 120GB phone (and have it be able to use a BES directly) so I can have 1 electronic device. Or, maybe they'll just keep making cool and fancy toys that the mommies who drive Lexuses (and their husbands who were designer jeans and t-shirts to events) can show off. Don't get me wrong, I'm a mac fan - I have 2, and have had many previous versions. I own several ipods and yes, my wife, who does not drive a Lexus (nor do I wear designer jeans and t-shirts), has an iphone. It's perfect for her, but it's still a very cool, very pretty toy.
So where does it cross the line for you from "toy" to something useful? You are aware that the current 16GB and the upcoming 32GB limit is entirely space-related, right? Are you waiting for Apple to break the laws of physics? Or would you rather Apple just made a device that's 4 times bigger to accommodate that much storage?
Your post contains no reasoning whatsoever that supports your opinion that the iPhone is just a "toy", especially since it singlehandedly revolutionized the smartphone market and you don't seem to recognize that, or in fact recognize what it is that makes the iPhone as popular as it is. Here's a hint: it's not hype. If it was hype, it would have gone the way of the G1. Think about it.
do you think by "iPhone32GbV3" they're referring to iPhone 4GB?
no, i'm not serious. just sayin'
i doubt it
V3 = Video?
negative. v3 = version 3
V3 = Version 3
Razr?
I went to the Oxford Circus Apple store to buy an itunes voucher for my wife today and as the guy was running my card i said 'New iPhones on Monday then?' and after a pause he raised his eyebrows and muttered 'They're already here'.
and then you took a joke for serious and posted it on Engadget,
That is impossible.
soooooo?
did you see/buy it?
if you didn't at least see it in person, this comment is booboo. i could have said the same thing, doesn't mean it's true.
Duh, the Apple Store has had new iPhones in stock since June 2007. :P
oh, and by "they're already here", he was talking about the body snatchers...it's true, they are here. walking among us...waiting.
I'm wondering what you guys do with 32GB of space.... i guess at least 25GB will be users available.... OS, and other Apple stuff taking some space... it's less then 7GB, but it's not the point
My phone has a 2GB sdmicro card. I have 1.2GB of music in it and 100MB worth of apps, 200MB, of app cache (browser, email, and whatever the apps hoard space for). Someone actually carries 20GB of music, video on their phone? or wants to? If you have that much music, video, do you actually listen to it? I have pandora, the I longest I can remember streaming is probably 30 minutes during the day. I tend to delete apps that I don't use after a while, because I don't like going through a thousand icons before getting to what I want.
What's everyone else using their space for?
Is there any chance a CDMA variant will surface Monday, or should I just go ahead with the Pre on Saturday?
Maybe, I dunno, hedge your bets and wait until Tuesday to decide?
I've seen a guy with a white Iphone taking pictures at Coimbra University this monday. First I couldn't believe it because it was white, and I thought it was the sun light but now i don't know anymore... it had the apple logo and has edge rounded (like the edges of macbook air)
"iPhone V3" cannot be in an exact quote
I didn't sense any kind of jokiness. Just letting you know, that's all.
Shouldn't it be GB instead of Gb?
@ marsromangod
I'm glad people like you don't get what you want! most people want an easy to use device without all the extras that just get in the way. you just give directions without actually leading... we have enough politicians in the USA
"i need to see some crazy hardware mods like different size and keyboard"
you don't even know what you want, you just want to make noise. explain why it needs a different size and a keyboard! if you look the last 3 texting records have all been done on the iPhone's virtual keyboard! Secondly you should draw SEVERAL different form factors that keep the device pocket friendly and has a 3.5" inch screen scalable from 320 X 480 also make it attractive.

Even though they are an Official retailer of the iPhone in the UK, the Carphone Warehouse system is far from a reliable source of information.
There are plenty of phones in the system which they do not and never will sell. e.g. there is an entry for the (non existent) iPhone 3G 8GB White
maybe it means version 3

"Manage Contacts and Calendars With Standards-Based Technologies" and the date "Jul 17"? My spider sense is tingling!
here is some more juicy information about the new iPhone 3rd generation!

Duh??? 16GB Cruz Thumb Drive $25.00 or less, so why the Giga cost for memory on the Iphone?
