Ever since the world went crazy with the iPhone 3.1, the next iPhone has been discussed and discussed, what it will or will not have, when it will appear, etc. I have the impression that the world has not yet realized that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), it is one of the most secretive-maniacal companies in the world, a company that every time managed to mislead absolutely everyone regarding the products that were to appear. Do you remember the shock you had this summer when you saw what the new iPhone looks like, many were very surprised that the phone no longer has anything that was circulated on the Internet, especially physically, after so many pictures appeared that showed the "new model" of iPhone. Many people, disappointed by their dreams about the new phone, decided not to buy the 3GS because "it had nothing new", say what? It had nothing of everything you dreamed of.
Few of you have read an article written by the New York Times about Apple and Steve Jobs, where the journalist talked about the techniques of the company's PR department in terms of marketing. The people who deal with the company's PR frequently launch untrue rumors about certain products that are about to appear in order to see which of the company's employees "blow" information to the press, so stop having illusions about anything that appears on internet about the new iPhone because you will surely find yourself in the situation of last summer.
My advice is to expect as little as possible from Apple and be amazed if the new iPhone will have more than you thought it would have, I have rarely seen Apple listen to at least 30% of why they want the people who buy their products. Proof? Thousands of developers and millions of 3G owners who have not taken the step towards 3GS.
