16gb Iphone imminent
Discussion
engadget.com said:
There's been plenty of conjecture (pictured) about a 16GB iPhone -- and its mysterious absence from the initial lineup -- ever since the 16GB iPod touch graced us all with its minuscule presence, but things are starting to look up. We just got a pair of tips purporting inside AT&T info that both point to the 16GB iPhone showing up shortly. One person spotted the phone in AT&T Wireless inventory, listed as not in stock, while the other tipster was fairly certain about a release this Tuesday or the next one. Obviously this is all hearsay at the moment, so don't go hawking that 8 gigger just yet, but we'll see if Apple's going to serve us up a Papa Bear-sized portion of gigabytes soon enough.
Update: We just received word from multiple sources that the O2 staff has been notified of the 16GB iPhone launch at 1:30pm UK time. Price: £329. That will likely translate to $599 in the US like the original 8GB iPhone.

Sounding more interesting. What about the tariffs, though? All the ones I've seen are an utter rip.Handset is still pricey and data is a bit thin but on the whole, they're a lot better than they were.

I see Apples Store is down with the "Back Soon" sign.
I have a feeling that there may be a 32GB iPod Touch too. (Or maybe it's just my imagination but they seem to have let stocks run down of the 16GB as I have been looking at getting one.)
Hmm, UK store still there for me....I have a feeling that there may be a 32GB iPod Touch too. (Or maybe it's just my imagination but they seem to have let stocks run down of the 16GB as I have been looking at getting one.)
The Register has news of 16GB iPhone to launch in UK today (£269).

I'd quite like an iPhone, wouldn't even mind paying £260 for it, but the cheapest tariff is £35 a month - I rarely use much over the free minutes on my £20 a month tariff.

Edited to add:- Both new models are listed on the Apple US store, but not on the Apple UK store yet...Customers who’d like to carry more music, photos, and videos with them now have new models of iPhone and iPod touch with double the memory from which to choose.

a guy sat next to me only got the 16gig touch yesterday. He is sat kicking himself.
Although he did just call the Apple store in Sheffield (MH) and they knew "nothing" about it even the one on the apple site in the US.
But if they release before the 14 day cash back expires then he can swap it and pay the diff.

No news of a 32gb touch yet, just conjecture at this stage. Most people i've spoken to still aren't buying the iPhone because they can just get a touch and a proper phone for less money.

Next Apple will be releasing the Iphone shuffle with no screen and calls random people...

Any UK prices on these yet? I've been holding off on purchasing one for a while now, so maybe this is the final shove I needed. Having said that, 32g iPod touch or 16gb iPhone? Hmm..
Off to New York soon so could perhaps pick one up there for a few shillings less too.
P,
Remember though that although the latest firmware has been "Jailbroken" to allow thired party applications it has not yet been "sim unlocked". So a brand new American iphone cannot be used in the UK at this time. Off to New York soon so could perhaps pick one up there for a few shillings less too.
P,
They should crack the sim lock soon, but might be best to wait until they are sure.

Im only considering getting the Iphone as i need a new phone and a new ipod. I have had enough with Windows Mobile even that touchflow system is rubbish.
had a few days with a touch dual, touchflo isn't at all bad, although some of the gestures in the photo gallery are a little awkward. That aside, its quite a usable bit of kit.Gassing Station | Computers, Gadgets & Stuff | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
