Apple to announce new iPhones in 2009?

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

It’s a rumor. But it’s about iPhone. So, I want to share it.

 Apple might release up to 3 new iPhones in 2009. First one is a memory upgrade to 32 GB. Next one is a 2.5 G model for Asian market. And a third one will be an iPhone nano with one third of the size of the current 3G iPhone at a cheaper price.

 Honestly, I am not very excited about either one of them. I have an 8GB iPhone 3G which I bought last year and I am very happy with it. I have a lot of photos, music and applications on it. I still have enough free space. But, that’s just me. I am sure the 32 GB will have its fair market share. iPhone nano doesn’t sound exhilarating either because I like my iPhone screen size just the way it is. It’s not bulky enough for me to look for a smaller version.

 I have also heard another rumor which I am really excited about. iPhone might be introducing an HD version in 2009. The world is moving relentlessly towards HD and Apple will keep pace with it. Experts say that the current 3G version can handle HD signal. However, we need to hear it officially from Apple. So, let’s wait and see.
