So with the release of the 3G iPhone over the next couple of months there seems to be very, very little information regarding it. So, to speculate, do you think it will just be just a regular iphone with 3G bolted on, or do you think it will have a better camera, or integrated GPS module?
iPhone V2 speculation...

Why bother speculating about anything then? What a ridiculous thing to say. If you don't want to speculate, don't post in a speculation thread. It's just a bit of light discussion.

I would imagine that it will have a few minor tweaks, but nothing too brash.
By that I mean the design will stay the same, but it should include a few subtle changes. In my opinion, here are what I would like to see..
3G Chipset (Ok, it's a given
)
3.2MP camera (I can't see Apple doing 5MP without changing the optics)
32GB Memory (because that'd be fricking sweet!)

I'm probably going to get one when it goes G3 as it's in time for my contract renewal with O2. I would quite like a normal headphone socket in the new model because I'm under the impression that at the moment you need an adapter.
Also what EVH said; Upgraded camera would be good, I'm not too fussed about the extra storage - I can see it hiking the price up.

I think there'll be a 16 and 32 gig option with an improved camera but that's about it.
I'm thinking the might even run the 2g and 3g phones side by side for a while, with the 3g commanding a higher price tag.
Not expecting the 3g one to hit the UK for some time yet though.. o2 have a lot of work to do on their 3g network.

I've only been using my iphone for a week so its still really fresh for me!
I think the camera could be upgraded and obv 3g...
I do wish, however that apple would make their own cases etc.... its bugged me for a while!! With my original ipod click wheel! Slightly O/T however!
I too think a spec bump in the memory department will be one of the biggest changes.. 8gb is enough for me at the moment though!

It is all conjecture until Apple release it. So sit back chill out and wait for Lord Jobs (aka El Jobso) to do his BOOM! Speech.

Surprised nobody's mentioned the god awful headphone port, the crippled stock headphones sound like an asthmatic shouting into a tin, and all the adapters I've seen are rubbish.
A price hike and some more extreme security to restrict the users more are the only things I expect other than 3G and possibly a better camera (with flash maybe)?
Need to get some modification going on my current headphones to make them fit. Have only used my 8gb for a few days now but I can see it staying useful and great until the battery eventually messes up.

You know it's going to have all the "new and improved" features the V1 should have had, it's how things work. Whip people up into a frenzy with V1's wonder features and keep them baited with the things they miss from their old mobile, then watch as everyone gags to get the old features back in V2:
-Bluetooth file transfer
-Native MMS Support
-Flash for camera
-Video recording (with sound!)
-Out of the box customisable ringtones, SMS tones and themes
-Applications (without having to JB it)
-GPS (ok not in v1, but increasingly popular)
I have heard some wacky reports that V2 will have a bigger screen, and larger capacity.
Emlyn, you're spot on about that poxy headphone port btw - such a daft idea on Apple's part. The only reason I can see for it is that they wanted to keep people using the boxed white buds as a means of providing free advertising to the fact you've got an i<insert device name here> in your pocket.

I reckon that's a pretty good theory, just a shame they are the cheapest nastiest headphones ever. Can't believe the prices they sell for individually in other stores, if they weren't white they'd go for about 12p.
I've always wondered why people are willing to pay £200+ for an mp3 player but then use the terrible earbuds that come with them. Even £20 buys a pair of headphones ten times better.

i thought it was a good idea myself. adaptors are available and they dont cost the earth. i never use the headset on my iphone, but i do use earphones. i have a griffin adpator for mine http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/headphoneadapter
available for a few quid if you look around.
look at the alternatives - what would you do if you needed to design a port for use with headphones and a mic? have two seperate plugs for the headphone/mic set?

yes people saw it lol. if you had a dedicated headphone port then you'd need a seperate port for the microphone. the way apple have done it is the best way i think.
