UK iPhone

So there’s been a flurry of news about the 4G iPhone recently. First, rumours of a lost prototype gained substance when pics of it appeared on Engadget. Then Gizmodo posted pictures and video of the actual device. It became incontrovertable when Apple formally requested that Gizmodo return the phone. So we know that a very late, possibly final, version of the 4G iPhone contains a forward-facing camera, a much-higher resolution screen, a bigger battery, and a back made of a glass-like ceramic substance.

Apple’s World Wide Developer Conference is scheduled for June 28th, so some speculate that the new iPhone will be launched then. The conference is devoted mostly to iPhone app development and the new version of the iPhone operating system, iPhone OS 4.0, which will almost certainly be released at the conference. Many of the new features of iPhone OS 4.0 will need the new phone, so it could be launched then. Or maybe before. Or maybe afterwards. The truth is no-one really knows! But I wouldn’t be buying a 3GS iPhone at this stage. Just sayin’.
