Next iPhone — Front-Facing Camera, A4 Processor

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yes-have-some dept.

As a quarter million pre-orderers wait for their iPad on Saturday, the millions of iPhone users can start speculating in earnest about the next gen iPhone. The rumors start by saying "It will be dubbed the 'iPhone HD' and will include a double resolution display, a front facing camera, multitasking support, and the blazing A4 processor."

    And this is different from the 10000 other rumors...because ?

    Cause it's rumors that are occurring less than a week before the iPad - DUH!

    Which is kind of like shooting yourself in the leg. Not only will the new iPhone have same resolution than iPad, it will allow you to multitask while iPad doesn't. What kind of sick thinking is to allow multitasking on a phone but not on a tablet computer . Basically you get less by buying iPad, and it doesn't even have phone capabilities.

    And other points of interests from the article:

    multitasking support

    Oh it seems Apple finally got to 90's computing. Didn't all the Apple fanboys say that not having multitasking to eat out battery life was better? And that it made things simpler? Are you still having that opinion, or do you just follow what Steve Jobs says again?

    a front facing camera

    Revolutionary. My HTC phones have had such since like early 2000.

    Except that the iPhone already supported multitasking and all of Apple's own apps were able to run in the background. The change is only for third-party apps.

    Didn't all the Apple fanboys say that not having multitasking to eat out battery life was better?

    In many cases, yes, it is better that third-party apps couldn't run in the background. Considering how poor of quality many third-party iPhone apps are, it's a great thing that they couldn't sit around in the background eating up battery.

    And that it made things simpler?

    How does it not make things simpler?

    Revolutionary. My HTC phones have had such since like early 2000.

    Because it's being marketed as being revolutionary? Oh wait....

    11. Post AC, claiming that the post you disagree with is full of trolling and flamebait, but lacking the stones to say so with your own account.

    Then why haven't I needed such program with Symbian (apart from the early 2000 phones) nor Windows Mobile?

    Because you're like everyone else in the market in that you don't use the failure that is Windows Mobile.

    I have a better question. Why are you trolling every Apple article, and why are you pretending Microsoft isn't following Apple's single-tasking, strictly-controlled design with the new Windows 7 Mobile? There must be a reason Microsoft would also go with that design. I know the answer, but can you tell me what it is?

    See you in line for an iPhone.
