iPhone Version 4 in April With OLED, Video-Calling?
This is hot stuff, so it needs to be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism, but the Korea Times is reporting–with extreme confidence–that the fourth gen iPhone will be on sale in April, with a pile of new features.
Of course we know Apple’s been working on the next-gen iPhone for ages due to natural product development cycles, and clues in the form of iPhone v4 browser identity codes have even turned up in some Web site logs. But apart from lots of speculation, we’ve heard nothing concrete–as we’d actually expect from Apple’s rigid security practices.
And now here’s the Korea Times mentioning apparent talks between Apple and local cell-phone provider and exclusive Apple vendor, KT. “Still there are some 3G iPhone stocks. But KT and Apple have reached a broad consensus to introduce the advance models as early as possible” are the words attributed to an anonymous KT executive.
That’s possibly believable, even if talking about this stuff is likely to be breaching many an Apple NDA. And yet it tells us nothing about the new phone itself. But hang on: The same exec also told the newspaper that there’ll be OLED screens, live video chat powers (implying a long-awaited front Webcam), and maybe even a removable battery. There was also talk about dual core processors, better graphics chips for higher resolutions, and better still imagery from the rear-facing cam. And it’s all due April at the earliest–as a test launch to select users, and to the public in June.
And though some of this is highly plausible, and even agrees with some rumors about OLED we’ve heard before, and recent mention of Apple buying millions of 5-megapixel cameras and Philips LED flash for better iPhone imagery, it all sounds too good to be true.
According to a AppleInsider report, “Apple has ordered significant amount of LED camera flash components for the year 2010 that could help the next-generation iPhone 4G to produce better image and video recording in low-light situations.
Philips LEXEON LED flash technology may already have secured the orders for the expected LED camera flash components for the iPhone 4G, the report says.
This report is also inline with the earlier reports where OmniVision secured the orders from Apple to supply 5 megapixel CMOS image sensors for the next Gen iPhone 4G.
As an iPhone owner, you would know how frustrating it is to take photos in the dim-light with your iPhone.
Having competitors like Motorola DROID, HD2 and Nexus One from Google, featuring a high Res camera with LED flash in the upcoming iPhone 4G is what situation requires from Apple if they want to see their baby’s growth in future.
The next generation iPhone is expected to be unveiled at the annual WWDC 2010 conference featuring iPhone OS 4.0.
Some of this is bound to be in the next iPhone–but all of it? That goes against Apple’s careful incremental update strategy for the device so far. And though moving the iPhone forward to an April launch from its more normal late-Spring cycle would certainly help Apple steal some of the thunder from the Nexus One and other upcoming Android phones, isn’t it a bit close to the purported launch date of the iSlate?
Confused ? Skeptical ? But admit it – this is very intriguing.

I do query referring to the topic and also found the majority of folks may agree with your weblog.Fantastic work!Several of the web in which customers may possibly obtain HD Camera on our websites
I really agree with the folks over at netbookspoint.com the iPad is going to be a huge hit. The geeks don’t like it, but it’s not for them. The vast majority of people are going to really enjoy the ease of browsing the web, having access to books at the tip of their finger, and downloading and watching videos on the couch or on the road. I think Apple knows more about what they’re doing than the script kiddies.
Ask you to ever previously considered attaching a bit more pictures to a web page content to keep the visitors additional entertained? I mean I recently enjoy along the whole blog created by yours plus that was truly quality although due to the fact that I
I can always remember when my cousin M. and I asked my Grandma to tell us concerning the great previous days and she or he said,
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.

The tester is not entirely responsible for quality. That is the task of the entire team. I mean that part of the reason its simple for teams to get into this groupthink about bugs is because the testers are marginalized into the outer boundaries and looked at as a impediment more than a assistance to the team — i.e. a roadblock for driving out features that the team really wants to release. If a bug like that survived, the feature should never have been issued, period. If you have so many bugs that you are ordinarily reaching these types of determinations, it indicates that you’re attempting to make too many features at the same time. Doing this has the show of functioning quicker, but is really slowing you down – as illustrated by the effort of release rollbacks, patches, bug management.
It’s really a pleasant surprise. I didn’t expect to stumble on such a nice article. I’ve checked out your other posts and must say they are very informative indeed. Hope to read more of it.
