What is the iPhone chip, and when will it ship
What’s going to power the next generation free 3G iPhone 2.0? Infineon again? Insider Intel? A curveball from PA Semi? And more importantly — when are we getting our hands on one?! What do YOU think?
To give you some help, here’s a HUGE roundup of all the free 3G iPhone 2.0 chipset and ship date rumors. Epic-style. Because let’s face it, roughly 0.01 seconds after Steve Jobs pulled the first iPhone from his pocket back at Macworld 2007, and someone, somewhere, put aside their childlike sense of wonder long enough think: “Nice! What’s the next gen going to be like?”
Complementary, contradictory, obvious, confusing, all but confirmed or from left field via outer space, the rumors have flooded the internet ever since. It’s become almost impossible to keep track of them all. But we’re going to try!
One week from today Steve Jobs takes Moscone Center stage for the sold-out WWDC keynote, and according to everyone and their newsfeed, announces the free 3G iPhone 2.0. In eager anticipation, every day this week, TiPb will be rounding up a different set of next generation rumors, from 3G to GPS, release dates to price points, colors to casings, 2.0 software to .Mac .Me services, and this weekend we’ll wrap it all up with a look into the WWDC/free 3G iPhone 2.0 Crystal Balland a roundup of the very best of YOUR predictions.
So come on, let’s get in on!
WWDC -7 and Counting: Of Baseband Chips and Release Date Trips
Categorically unrelated much? Here’s the thing: the rumors swirling around the iPhone’s 3G chipset and the free 3G iPhone 2.0’s release date, much like how the terms iPhone and 3G have become inextricably linked as the de facto name for the next generation Apple handset, always seem to show up together. So that’s how we’re going to tackle them.
Now, we don’t really know anything for certain. Not that Jobs is going to be announcing the free 3G iPhone 2.0. Not that it’s going to be officially called the free 3G iPhone 2.0. Or even that it’s even going to be 3G (though at this point it really has to be!). All we have is rumors. Tons of them. More of them than perhaps for any event in Apple’s history, and in the tech industry, that’s saying a lot. Enough rumors to stun a blogsphere.
The current iPhone operates on the GSM networks 2.5/2.75 G (Generation) technology known as EDGE, which provides for data speeds roughly analogous to the dial-up internet connections of yore. (We joke only slightly). 3G GSM cell networking uses the more broadband-like HSPA, and while I mentioned before that you can never say certain, it’s pretty much certain the next generation iPhone will support 3G. But which 3G chipset will it use exactly, and when will this free 3G iPhone 2.0 be released? Hopefully on Monday... |
