With only a short while before the full details on Steve Jobs’ WWDC speech comes out, here are a few last minute rumors, presumptions and confirmed facts about the upcoming Apple iPhone 4G which is going to be revealed at the major Apple event.
First off, Apple really hates Google now. In fact, it has just been confirmed that Bing will be the primary search engine for the new Apple phone. While it is expected that other search engines will also be available, Apple’s decision to support Microsoft is a direct attack on Google –who is now the major competitor for the iPhone thanks to Google’s Android OS.
Another revelation about the new iPhone is that it will not have a touch sensitive casing. While the initial reports were full of rumors of this innovative new input system, it appears that Apple might have scrapped the idea entirely. Without any actual application of the technology on smart phones, it is hard to determine as to why the idea has been scrapped.
At long last, the new iPhone will be coming with a high resolution OLED capacitive touch screen display. This will provide the iPhone with better graphical capabilities. And with the announcement that the new phone’s display being the same size as the original iPhone’s, having better resolution is a logical next step. Still, with the large touch screen on new smart phones and many uses going for high resolution screens, the decision to keep the iPhone at 3.3 inches will help keep its appeal to the mid range market.
The front facing camera is now official. With all the leaked images of the handset and the many close ups of the device’s front face, it is hard to deny that the little hole on the top is a front facing camera for video chatting.
