The NEW iPhone 4G?

Are you ready? Release likely around June or July of 2010.


Lots of speculation is going around on the new iPhone 4g… in HD!!

Verizon Wireless is currently testing a CDMA version of the iPhone 4G and Verizon confirms they are making network changes to bring the iphone to their network. The new iPhone 4g is going to be loaded with awesome new features like video chat, multi-tasking and extreme downloading. (List of possible features below). Just when you think there is nothing else to come up with, more and more and more technology comes out. And it is on the rise, and not just at Apple, Inc!

Woo hoo! This iPhone 4g could also have dual core processors and higher and powerful graphic chips that can deliver higher video resolutions and better “still” images when taking pictures.

There are a few networks working on building a 4G network. T-mobile would be a likely carrier since they are GSM already. Sprint has a 4G network already… AT&T and Verizon Wireless are in the beginning stages. There are talks of Verizon Wireless getting iPhone sometime in 2010 since the exclusive contract with AT&T expires, but it could be renewed until 2012.

Whether or not it will be 4G will be up to them!… can they build in time? Regardless, there is much anticipation on how many people will leave AT&T for Verizon Wireless because of AT&T’s lagging on app restrictions like Slingplayer and Google Voice and Skype (on #g network, not Wi-Fi).

AT&T’s restrictions have caused the percentage of people that are JailBreaking their iPhones to rise since Jail Breaking usually comes with Cydia which is the app store for jail broken phones. Most of the applications, ringtones, and even iphone themes!…are free with Cydia. Winterboard is part of the download, and it very easily add’s the changes to your phone so you dont have to figure how to do it on your own…it is VERY automated.

The Palm Pre on Sprint (Sprint now offering a 4G network) has made an attempt at being competitive with iPhone and Blackberry…but it’s not looking good. Maybe their recent Android phone will help.

iPhone 4G looks promising in terms of being sleek, packed with new hardware and multi-tasking software. Very exciting.

A few features of iPhone 4G:

  • A new, sleeker body design.
  • OLED screen.
  • Multi-Tasking. (use multiple functions at once without going in and out of apps)
  • iChat camera (on the front so you can have video chat!!!)
  • 32G (basic) and 64G of memory. Your sure to never run out.
  • Removable Battery.
  • Hi Definition Camera.
  • Hi Definition Camcorder.
  • Hi Definition audio.
  • Messaging light.
  • True GPS built in.

Apple job posting hints at LTE for a future iPhone 4G

What could possibly come after the iPhone 3GS? The iPhone 3GSS, of course! Joking aside, turns out Apple‘s already dropped the 4G bomb on one of its job postings in May 2009 while seeking for a “Cellular Technology Software Manager” with “expert knowledge of… WCDMA/UMTS, HSPA, HSPA+, LTE etc.” That’s right, LTE. Now, we’re not saying this means a 4G-powered iPhone is next in line in the annual product cycle, nor does this listing confirm Apple’s favored 4G radio (be it a decoy or an eventual change of heart), but given AT&T’s interest in LTE plus its prolonged love affair with Cupertino, it’s pretty hard to not consider LTE as a realistic option on future Apple portables. Frankly, it won’t be the end of the world if a 4G iPhone fails to turn up this summer — most of us here would rather have something with improved battery life, real multitasking, and 720p camera over those insane data speeds. No, really.

Scratched,damaged iPhone restored with sandpaper

iPhone are scratch-resistant, but life throws some tough stuff at our phones. One MacRumors user, owning a phone that looks pretty beat, demonstrates the full process of restoring his phone with sandpaper and a new LCD kit.

The poster makes a point of noting that on most phones, you’ll only want to use a rougher sandpaper to tray and remove 90 percent of the scratches, not get to a completely clean and polished look—with the scratch-resistant coating completely removed—as shown at the full post. For those looking to completely refinish their phone, there’s a very informative post on the technique of wet sanding, along with tips on taping up your controls and glass and polishing off the finished result. For those with cracked or deeply scratched glass, there’s a replacement guide included, too.

It’s a cheap process and not too much time, especially if you don’t plan on upgrading to a new model any time soon (ha!). While you’re at it, you can also try giving your bezel a brushed look.
