According to Bloomberg, an upgraded version of the iPhone will debut in 2008. The new model will feature 3G as one of its highlights.
The device will operate on third-generation wireless networks, Stephenson said today at a meeting of the Churchill Club in Santa Clara, California. San Antonio-based AT&T is the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the U.S.
“You’ll have it next year,” Stephenson said in response to a question about when the 3G iPhone would debut. He said he didn’t know how much more the new version will cost than the existing model, which sells for $399. Apple Chief Executive Officer Steve Jobs “will dictate what the price of the phone is,” he said. [Bloomberg]
May I put a question forward then? Does it mean then that Apple really does understand the international cellphone industry in the first place, offering the bogus iPhone model to the West and the improved model to the East, where the real technology show off happens?
