This is pretty funny (warning: contains profanity!)
According to BGR a new prepaid iPhone will be released before the end of summer. It will cost around $350 and according to their source will probably be the 3GS version of the phone.
This new rumor just adds more confusion to the iPhone 5 release date and the possibility of an iPhone 4S. Will they release a prepaid phone in August and then the iPhone 5 in September? It seems highly unlikely that they would release new phones within one month of each other. I guess we will just have to wait and see how this all pans out. Apple really likes to keep us waiting until the very last minute.
Some good news for you T-Mobile and Sprint users though, BGR has reported that the iPhone 4 will be coming to all US networks before the end of 2011.
We just found this cool video that demonstrates hidden features of the iOS 5 from Daniel at TodaysiPhone.com
Breaking news today from the Wall Street Journal that Apple has put in orders for 25 million new iPhones that will be sold this fall. According to the article, Apple is planning to launch the phone by the end of September.
The new phone will be using Qualcomm wireless chips and have an 8MP camera. Sources interviewed by the Wall Street Journal also mentioned that some exciting new improvements were coming next year (iPhone 6?), with the possibility of a edge-to-edge screen and new ways to charge the phone.
With summer almost over and no sign of the 4GS or an official iPhone 5 release date everyone is starting to wonder what’s going on. It is customary for Apple to keep things under wraps but this is the first time in 3 years that a new iphone hasn’t been released over the summer. Hopefully Mr. Steve Jobs will be making some sort of announcement soon, he really likes to keep us in the dark. Stay tuned for more news as it develops.
Verizon Wireless stated last fall when they began carrying the iPhone 4 that unlimited data plans were only temporary. New users on the Verizon network will now have to choose from data plans that are expected to debut on July 7. The good news is that all current Verizon subscribers that have the unlimited data plan will be grandfathered in.
Fierce Wireless spoke with Brenda Raney from Verizon to find out about the new data price plans.
“Verizon spokeswoman Brenda Raney told FierceWireless that new smartphone customers will choose from one of three options: $30 for 2 GB, $50 for 5 GB or $80 for 10 GB. There will be an overage charge of $10 per GB of data. Verizon will also charge $10 for 75 MB per month for feature phone users. AT&T Mobility (NYSE:T) charges $15 per month for 200 MB and $25 per month for 2 GB.”
AT&T switched over to tiered data plans last year, and now with Verizon also following this format Sprint is the only major carrier to still offer an unlimited data plan.
