I agree with btown11. I think there is going to be a hardware re-design (bigger screen, better processor, better battery, bigger capacity).
The think the current design is great, but unless there is a change in the next version I see less customers upgrading.
I think the processor, battery, and capacity improvements are evolutionary by nature.
I speculate the screen will be enlarged to a 16:9 ratio.
Possibly a low resolution front facing video camera.
Current camera to a 5MP resolution.
Maybe (a very maybe) mini-USB connector.
Definitely 802.11N
I do not think we will every see a CDMA iPhone model. Verizon is going to go with LTE (next-generation of GSM) for their 4G upgrade in the next year or two. In other words, Verizon will have to change all their towers to LTE. Most cell companies, even though they are competitors, still have roaming agreements with each other. I know Verizon, Sprint, and a local CDMA provider have roaming agreements with each other. If this happens, AT & T?s coverage area will significantly improve because they are also going to upgrade to LTE in the upcoming years. Sprint will be left out in the cold.
All these speculative comments are exactly that ? I am just guessing here. Please do not flame me for any of these. I would like to here what you guys think.
Thanks,
