Next-gen
iPhone rumors are
swirling fast and
furious, but the latest out of iLounge matches up with what
we've heard: the 3G iPhone will be glossy black and slightly thicker than before. iLounge says that Apple has
once again provided overseas case manufacturers with details of a new device, and they've mocked up the image above as an illustration, with the old model on the left and top for comparison. There's not much to go on, but we're curious as to what that additional front-mounted sensor is, and we know a few people that would kill for a red iPhone. iLounge says that developers and case manufacturers believe the specs to be correct and have already started work on accessories, but only Steve (and a couple hundred Apple employees) know for sure -- the rest of us will just have to wait.

I'm a Verizon customer but this glossy iPhone would make me switch carriers, IF it had real GPS and stereo bluetooth

I'm hoping Apple surprises us with a CDMA iPhone (as well as a GSM one) that is usable on Verizon. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I think it's plausible. Here's why: 1) Huge untapped US market - Steve must be tempted; 2) The exact terms of the AT&T exclusivity agreement are top secret, and we only know what they chose to leak...Jobs might have forced in an "exit clause" if enough phones are sold, and they sold a lot; 3) Verizon has opened their network to non-Verizon devices; 4) AT&T is suddenly introducing subsidies, which means a fundamental change in their contract with Apple, and perhaps they are anticipating new competition in the marketplace; 5) AT&T coverage is crap in many places, and everyone has been complaining about it.

1) that will never happen. 2) it will never happen. 3) it could not possibly happen. 4) will it could happen...wait..it could never happen. 5) yeah its not going to happen....CDMA hmmmmmm its not happening...sorry if you like something usuable then swicth to GSM or you can stay with "the network" and day dream.

If this is indeed true (and of course this is all speculation at this point), the third "sensor" on the front could actually turn out to be a self-portrait camera for use on AT&T's Video-Share Network. Just a thought.

Hey Bill haven't you heard that Verizon is jumping ship on the sinking CDMA network. Can you imagine the nightmare they will have when they try to integrate two different network technologies; LTE (GSM evolution) from CDMA. Just ask Sprint/Nextel.....
