It doesn’t surprise me that the white iPhone 3GS is apparently selling out everywhere, for several reasons. • Apple’s likely making far fewer of them than the way more popular black iPhone. • Notice that’s the cheaper 16GB model that’s completely sold out here—there are still 32GB models, for obvious reasons (price). • When I found out I’d [...]

The iPhone Dev Team has released a new version of RedSn0w that jailbreaks the iPhone 3GS, as well as 2G, 3G, and iPod touch 2 on OS 3.0. It runs on both Windows and Mac, and has the same instructions for each as previous versions. The problems with Icy and Cydia have allegedly been resolved, [...]

When Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone back at Macworld 2007, he prefaced the introduction by saying what was wrong with current not-so-smartphones — the hardware keyboard.

Most of the rumors and speculation say that there wasn’t going to be video-conferencing in the new iPhone 3G 2009. However, a last-minute batch of images point to the contrary. Or do they? Update In the image above, the iPhone on the left—published by a french blog—looks like it still has its factory plastic cover. You [...]

From the same source as this possible leak comes a few shots of what could be video chat on the iPhone. Who knows. UPDATE: This image is fake. But, supposing it’s real, it’s interesting to note that it appears to be on Wi-Fi. It’s possible that it’s like Skype and SlingPlayer and only work over Wi-Fi. [...]

The ability of users to re-download previously purchased apps over-the-air may be restricted in iPhone OS 3.0, according to a new report. Currently, users may purchase and then re-download applications an infinite number of times across multiple devices.

I’m looking at these images from a Hong Kong blog, and they totally look like The Real Thingâ„¢ to me. Sure they are blurry, but those applications’ user interface definitely screams Apple design. The gallery shows the compass and autofocus in action—which can’t work in current hardware. [...]

We first saw photos of what was claimed to be the plastic back casing of the unreleased next generation iPhone back in February, which showed a matte black finish, unlike the current generation’s shiny plastic. Now another photograph has surfaced that compares the matte black component the shiny plastic back casing of the current generation [...]
