We’re now just a few short days away from the unveiling of Apple’s
latest and greatest iPhone, and the rumors are coming in thick and fast.
The latest comes via the often reliable source 9to5Mac.
Their source, going by the mysterious name of Mr. X, has
been reliable in his own right in the past, so we tend to believe this
latest claim. That claim points us to Apple’s next iPhone, be it the
iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S, being available in three different memory configurations.
Currently maxing out at 32GB, the iPhone 4 isn’t often
lamented for its lack of space, but many want to keep huge media
libraries on their smartphones, and with apps, and especially games,
starting to balloon in size, the more space the better in our minds.
With that in mind, Mr. X’s claim that the next iPhone will be
available in a 64GB memory configuration, doesn’t seem all that far
fetched. Many pundits and commentators were surprised that Apple chose
not to go the whole hog and introduce a 64GB model when the iPhone 4 was
announced, and with the iPad and iPad 2 reaching that capacity, it’s a
fairly safe bet that the iPhone will, too.
Apple’s iPod touches have been available in 64GB variants for some
time now, and we don’t expect Apple would want to have its flagship
product lagging behind its iPods.
A final tip from Mr. X suggests that both white and black flavor iPhones
will be made available this time around, with Apple finally putting to
bed the horrendous manufacturing issues they encountered with the iPhone
4. It took the Cupertino boffins nearly a whole year to manage to find a
way to make a white glass-encased iPhone that didn’t suffer from
coloring defects, despite every Chinese replacement parts dealer
seemingly having no such problem.
We still don’t know just what we will be shown on Tuesday the 4th, whether it be an iPhone 4S, with beefed up internals but an iPhone 4-like appearance, or an iPhone 5, a complete redesign of the product line incorporating a teardrop shape and a lager screen.
We’re obviously hoping for the latter, but wouldn’t be at all surprised if the former is Apple’s iPhone 4 replacement.
