With the WWDC happening within the next 24 hours, I decided to give a shot at predicting the announcments. Also be sure to check out the last minute rumor updates from Gizmodo. Besides an in depth look and a official release date for Snow Leopard, here are my iPhone, tablet, iPod touch predictions.
New iPhone
Features:
- faster processors, and more storage - in particular, a 32GB model
- a slightly improved camera - In additional to a better camera, I'm hoping they'll tag a front video chat cameras. Not only can you make video calls, you'd be able to video chat on via other applications.
- magnetometer - this would make Google Maps even better!
- buy and download iTunes TV and movies straight from iPod
- new Apple app for MobileMe so you can FINALLY access files on your iDisk
- record and edit videos
A cheaper iPhone
- Roughly about the same size. Screen size is the same because if it was different, apps would have to be changed.
- No camera and no GPS. Imagine an iPod touch + phone.
No tablet
Think it's going to be saved for a future event when Steve Jobs is back.
iPod touch
- No new iPod touch model with cameras - Don't think the current price will have a camera. Adding a camera will increase the price substantially.
- Peripherals enabling iPod touch to become a camera - Since the iPhone 3.0 software allows for add ons through the dock connector, I'm boldly predicting there will be an camera accessory for the touch. You simply hook the accessory to the iPod touch, and it will instantly turn your touch into an camera as well.
That's all for my predictions. We'll find out soon enough.
