Apple has issued a press release announcing that the keynote address for its upcoming Worldwide Developers Conference will be held on June 8th at 10 AM Pacific Time. The keynote will be given by Phil Schiller, senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. Now that WWDC is almost here it is time for a round up of rumors. Rumors are coming quicker each day. So here are a few that are out there.
1. Multiple Colors for the iPhones. I like this one, I really like the mat black iPhone.
A rainbow of iPhones
2. 32GB iPhone. Best Buy’s inventory system has 3 listings for model Charlie. Could it be for 8GB, 16GB and 32GB iPhones?
3. iPhone Speed increase. MacRumors.com posted an article that someone posted on a Chinese forum details about the next iPhone. Here are the details
- 600MHz CPU Speed (up from 400MHz)
- 256MB RAM (up from 128MB)
- Digital Compass and FM
- 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus
- 32GB size
- No major changes in battery, screen and external casing.
4. Limited Background Support for Third-Party Apps. MacRumors.com posted an article a few months back and now Silicon Alley Insider has an article that Apple is serious about Background App support for iPhone 3.0. But TechCrunch.com thinks that Apple is only going to talk about it at WWDC.
5. No new iPhone @ WWDC. Some people seem to think that since Phil Schiller is doing the Keynote that Apple is going to wait until July sometime to have Steve Jobs debut the new iPhone.
6. No Snow Leopard release, only a preview. There are reports that Apple is going to issue another build of the beta and not the final build.
