32GB iPhone 3G rumours causing web confusion

Is it coming soon?

22 September 2008 15:31 GMT / By Katie Scott

So a launch of an updated iPhone 3G, with more memory, is being mooted for January - which is when MacWorld happens so wouldn't be beyond the realm of reality.

But this is just one of the rumours that has been flying around today about an update of the 3G model.

AppleInsider hinted earlier today that a 32GB model may appear as early as next month, but has now decided this is not so.

It is, however, pointing to low stocks of the 8GB iPhone 3G, which it says could suggest Apple is prepping the market for a new launch.

Other rumours suggest that the 32GB model could have a whooping £500 price tag so we'd hope there'd be more new features than just the added memory.

IT Pro Portal says better battery life and a 3.2MP camera wouldn't be out of the question.

But it's all speculation at the moment and Apple is sure to keep any info on any new launch - a 32GB iPhone 3G or no - under wraps until its big event in January.

Back on topic: A 32GB iPhone will be a fantastic addition to the range.
The only reason I sold my iPhone days after receiving it is Apple originally marketed it as the ultimate solution to phone and ipod. Turns out, it's only useful as a phone at present as there isn't enough space to store my songs.

On the other hand 32GB will be more than enough, and I'm hoping that after replacing the iPhone with the iPhone 3G, which included double the memory, for the same price; there will be some sort of trend and the 32GB will be released and both the 16GB and 8GB dropped in price.

Let's see how this goes... Posted by Mo, England
