Posted May 31, 2009 (edited) So WWDC (World Wide Developers Conference) is just over a week away, a new iPhone (plus 3.0 firmware) is all but guaranteed and also there should be a showing of Snow Leopard and rumored Macbook Pro and Cinema Display updates. The rumors surrounding the new iPhone are the highlight without a doubt, so what are the rumors suggesting this year? Well first off to anyone who isn't following them the rumors are saying: -Matte Black finish on the bezel and back -Shorter and slimmer -3.2mp camera with autofocus -Built in compass -16GB & 32GB models -Possible light up Apple logo that doubles as a flash -Front camera -3.5G speeds -Faster CPU The highlighted rumors are the ones that are getting a lot of press and are proboly gonna be the real deal, the rest I personally don't think will happen. So WWDC 2009, Discuss! Edited May 31, 2009 by Caris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2009 Any chance they will put better bluetooth functionality into the iPhone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2009 Doubt it, iPhone syncs with iTunes so receiving music etc over Bluetooth wouldn't work. Although I'm sure i recall something about the Bluetooth being upgraded so you can use Bluetooth headphones now? Not sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2009 I'd be at least happy with the back being changed. The fingerprints drive me insane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2009 I'll be happy with anything right now, my iPhone 3G is falling to bits, need something to replace it asap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 I'm trying not to hype myself up, but by gosh this is exciting!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Here's my WWDC '09 predictions: iPhone 32GB Model Faster processor, more RAM, updated graphics chip 3.5G Speeds Magnetometer/Compass Matte casing 3.2MP Camera with autofocus Snow Leopard Mostly stuff of interest to developers Show off one or two features of interest to consumers Approximate release date will be announced Other I reckon the Macbooks and Macbook Pros will get a minor refresh. Perhaps up the base RAM to 4GB and replace the 9600M with a GT130 in the Pro. Can't wait, I love WWDC!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 I agree with you on the phone except i wanna swap the 3.5G for a slightly better battery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 MacBooks look nice, but some iPhone stuff please! http://www.macrumors.com for live text and photo updates for anyone who doesn't have them already (this site is generally better than engadget and the likes). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 8, 2009 Snow Leopard $29 upgrade for Leopard users.......fucking awesome... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Looks nice but I don't really see the point. Google maps does a decent enough job for finding places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Find my iPhone looks great. It's got Paris Hilton written all over it. No more hacking hot celebrity's phones for naughty pics though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Looks nice but I don't really see the point. Google maps does a decent enough job for finding places. Turn-by-turn directions when driving? It's essentially turns your phone into a SatNav. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Turn-by-turn directions when driving? It's essentially turns your phone into a SatNav. Yup Turn by Turn is massive and they showed a cool in car holder for the iPhone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Well yeah I get that, but I don't get why you'd pay probably a lot of money when Google Maps is more than useable for getting around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2009 Well yeah I get that' date=' but I don't get why you'd pay probably a lot of money when Google Maps is more than useable for getting around.[/quote'] It depends on price but probably so you don't have to buy a Tom-Tom separately if you already own an iPhone.
