Man creates third-gen iPhone rumours picture

Catalogues every rumour ever made, pretty much

Rumours about which features may be added to the third-generation iPhone appear on an almost daily basis, making them very hard to remember. So one iPhone fanatic’s put them all together into a single image.

Blogger Remy’s taken front and back shots of the second-generation iPhone and overlaid callouts of all the numerous features that it’s been previously rumoured could appear on the next model – which it’s widely thought will be unveiled at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) next week.

The image (shown above) is pretty self-explanatory, but each rumour’s coded either green, purple or orange according to the likelihood of it being real.

Green signifies rumours with an 80 per cent of more chance of accuracy, while purple takes the rumour down to 50 – 80 per cent and orange to less than 50 per cent.

FYI, the numbers beside each rumour are references to where it appeared from.

Take the predictions with a pinch of salt, though, because Remy’s predictions are only based on his own opinions. ®

Don't you think they would need a licence for this, and due to YouTube being owned by the big G, wouldn't you think they would want that to be exclusive to phones running their OS?

"It's when you use an Apple product that you finally get what all the fuss was about."

I'm sorry, I must disagree with that. I don't know about the phone, but I found the imac, the macbook, and the ipods I've used really bland* and even substandard. They look quite OK as long as you don't use them though.

*I must admit that some games on the recent ipods are nice, but if I wanted a gaming platform, I'd have bought one (with the money left from buying a better still much cheaper media player, maybe?)

@"nothing that Nokia, Benefon, Ericsson, Motorola etc did years ago then..."

Yeah, and which of them made truckloads of money out of all these features?

The iPhone isn't my cup of tea at all, but you have to give credit to Apple for taking a bunch of well-proven geektech and making it chump-compatible.

Umm, what's under discussion here is what features are likely to be on the new iPhone.

If "Nokia, Benefon, Ericson, Motorola etc" all have a particular feature, don't you think Apple will be keen to introduce it into their product?

(Either you're a troll or a 'tard, maybe both - I can't decide)
