Today has been iPhone rumors day, analyst have predicted the release date, rumors have been flying around about the 8GB iPhone reaching end-of-life in UK and now Engadget has details about the upcoming iPhone 3G. Below is the as is list of what Engadget has heard from its trusted source:

  • The first thing people will notice: the 2nd gen iPhone will be about the same size and shape as the first gen.
  • It will, of course, have 3G. And proper GPS!
  • The most noticeable physical difference is back of the phone is no longer metal – the whole thing is glossy black, from top to bottom. The volume buttons are now chrome.
  • Because it’s got a little less metal to deal with, it doesn’t have quite as many angular edges. The battery is not (still) removable.
  • The phone itself will be slightly thicker than the first gen device.
  • The headphone jack will no longer be recessed and will finally be flush with the body.
  • The device itself uses roughly the same size and resolution screen as the first generation product.
  • No solid word on battery life or storage capacity.

The phone would ship in July and testing has already begun according to Engadget. The three things that I know for sure about the 3G iPhone are that the iPhone will have a brighter and higher resolution screen, the battery life for calls will almost remain same and their will be a 16GB version for sure. We will come to know everything about the 3G iPhone in one month and 14 days.
