Source reveals next-gen iPhone specs and more rumors
Our website came crashing down due to the mass amounts of people coming by to see our next-gen iPhone specs which include a 3.2MP camera, 32Gb of storage, OLED screen, and even a launch date. Another source was able to confirm that a Japanese based company was tapped to supply Apple with magnetometer sensors, and a job listing indicated that Apple may be including the faster ARMv7 in the next-gen iPhone. A couple other websites also showed that Apple may be bringing a 32GB iPhone to the table because the 16GB iPhone 3G has been tagged as end-of-line.
AT&T wants to help you save money
So far no one has been able to crack AT&T’s code. Will they or won’t they drop the data plan prices for the iPhone? One rumor indicated that AT&T was considering offering customers a capped data plan for a lower monthly price by the end of this month. During Reuters Global Technology Summit, AT&T Mobility CEO Ralph de la Vega chimed in with his thoughts on the matter, stating that AT&T is actually considering a capped plan but they have no intentions of lowering the price without restrictions.
Apple sends out emails, gives support, and sells a ton of iPhones
Apple started soliciting developers via email to help them test their push-notifications this week to see if the system will hold up. Apple decided against sending out emails warning their customers of static shock from using their devices together with their earbuds in dry climates, so instead they posted a support article on their website. The physical shocking of their customers obviously didn’t hurt the sales of the iPhone because they doubled their market share in the first quarter of 2009.
Toki Tori, Sonic, and other noteworthy items
Toki Tori made his adorable self available on the iPhone while Sonic also decided to show his face. TwitterFon, the popular free Twitter client, received Pro treatment to the tune of $4.99. After a series of earthquakes in the Los Angeles area, we decided to give you some recommendations for earthquake applications. If you enjoy iPhones a little more than the rest of us, you may want to check out a new blog dedicated to showcasing hot girls together with iPhones.
Sales!
The popular choose your own adventure horror game, Hysteria Project, was placed on sale. Gameloft also put one of their popular games on sale, Siberian Strike, and gave their other extremely popular game, Assassin’s Creed, a permanent price drop. A team of six independent developers decided to join forces and take on the big developers and publishers by putting all of their word games on sale together for one week. Things always seem to turn out for the best when people work together, don’t they?
