Third generation iPhone rumors emerge

by Justin Horn on Jan 29th, 2009 @ 11:23 am

Macrumors is in the headlines after finding what they believe is evidence of the next generation of iPhone.

MacRumors has discovered that Apple’s iPhone 2.x Firmware has evidence of the next generation iPhone which has been designated “iPhone2,1″. Apple uses these models numbers to distinguish between different hardware models. The original iPhone carries the model number of “iPhone 1,1″ while the 3G iPhone is labeled “iPhone 1,2″.

I can’t wait for the new iPhone to be released and confuse everyone due to the last phone being the “iPhone 3G” (due to it’s wireless data connection) and the new one being the third generation iPhone. Although I’m sure Apple has already thought of this and come up with a great name for it!

UPDATE Poll now posted!
when will 3rd generation iPhone be released?

    iPhone 3.0 software adds MMS messaging to the current iPhone 3G (doesn’t work on 1st gen iPhone). So yes this is coming without even having to buy a new 3rd gen iPhone.
