    Seems a bit unexpected but good track record from china ontrade leaks.
    China Ontrade calls this the iPhone 4 Generation Midboard. Not very exciting, but the last time they announced a next-generation iPhone part, they were right. A month later, the iPhone 3GS appeared with exactly those parts. What could this mean?

    Intriguing. There's no way they would release another model iPhone this soon after the 3GS came out and there is no way they would make a model due for release next year this far in advance.

    So what are they up to?

    It could be total BS, but personally I think they could easily launch another one this soon. The 3GS was meh at best, and the buzz now is all about android, not the iphone anymore.

    True, but would they risk annoying the current 3GS owners so soon? I would have thought they aren't due to be annoyed until after Christmas. :)

    Ah, never thought of that. Could well be.

    I don't think they care, the 3GS always smelled of being rushed out with some things not quite there. Maybe the actual one that should have been will come out? Or possibly they held back features waiting for the right time to launch them, there has been some media spin from apple that the 3GS was just as good as it had to be and no more.

    I personally think it all depends on where they are on the tablet, if it is coming soon then the next iphone will be next summer. If it's not then I think the next iphone will come sooner.

    Apple is all about keeping the momentum.


    Then again, who the feck knows!

    None of the other manufacturers seem to care about how quickly they make older models redundant, so I couldn't see Apple caring much either.
