Apple speculation thread

What the hell's up with AT&T? They seem to be the only company on the planet not supporting a lot of this stuff straight away.

I think they just keep getting mentioned because they are the exclusive US carrier for Iphone.

Only 22 out of the 42 carriers worldwide will support tethering. scumbags

That would have been great 2 weeks ago when I lost my iPhone in a bookstore...

You can also log into mobileMe and make you iphone make a noise whether it is on silent or not.

That is damn handy too, I'm a real forgetful person

Remotely erasing your data and contacts is a neat trick.

Oh, it's all about the microtransactions. I have grown to loathe that word.

There you have it....iPhone 3GS.

As an existing iPhone 3G owner, I can't say that I'm too fussed about what is essentially an iPhone 3G with the 3.0 firmware and a few small technical refinements, but 32GB storage may just sway me. Personally, I'm a year deep into my iPhone contract, so I'm just going to have to wait and see what O2 offer in terms of upgrading before making my mind up.

No larger capacity Touch, or modified Touch in any way. Oh well. I was telling myself, if they upgraded the Touch, I'd get one.

Some of the new iPhone features seemed pretty good. Thought I'd still see a 3 MP camera as baby steps. My own phone has a 5 MP camera. If I was paying for an iPhone, I'd expect it to lead, not be far behind. I do like the talky feature and some of the new 3.0 features, though making any kind of big deal about features as basic as 'copy/paste' just reveals the gaping holes that were there to begin with.

If I had money (which I don't), I'd get one of those new MacBooks.

The more pixels they cram onto the sensor the worse they become

That's just it - I never, ever understood the obsession with cut/copy/paste. Useful and functional? Yes, but never essential for me personally, and I've owned enough Nokia phones with the feature over the years to last a lifetime.

As an iPhone owner, I would've placed proper Bluetooth FTP and Data Tethering as far bigger priorities, but that's just me.
