The Apple online store has stopped selling iPhones completely, stating they are currently unavailable. What does it mean? In some way I’m inclined to say “not much.” Apple rarely telegraphs its moves this far in advance. However, since O2 in the UK has stopped selling iPhones and a number of folks have had trouble buying them in stores, we might be seeing a next-gen iPhone in the next few days. Here’s hoping.
Apple keeps coming up with something interesting i.e. everytime I hear their name in the market. Lets see what other features did Steve add in the already highly useful phone box.
Sweet, I can’t wait, Iphone II {seesmic_video:{”url_thumbnail”:{”value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/vbuhbw0rrE_th1.jpg”}”title”:{”value”:”Sweet, I can’t wait, Iphone II ”}”videoUri”:{”value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/eWzGT8tyjk”}}}
Imminent indeed – try changing up the title next time
Oh god I am so excited!
I wonder how many people, who just wasted $400-$600 within the past year, will fork over another ~$500 for the new model..
@ Tim – From what I’ve hear from AT&T reps, AT&T will be selling the iPhone for $199 and $299.. still another chunk of change but 3G would be worth it I think. I hear a lot of people say they’ll give their old iPhone to their significant others, mothers, kids, etc.
Wasted? I love my iPhone, it wasn’t a waste at all… When the new one comes im selling this one and getting the new, just like most PCs
Unlocked iPhone costs $800 here in Ukraine (16 Gb version). I wonder how much iPhone 2.0 will cost and when it will reach our market.
@2.
Easy on the camera lighting/hue settings, you look white – literally.
My money is still on the back end of June. I think the AT&T ‘no holiday’ memo is more significant than then pulling back on sales.
A Telekom employee in Germany told me that the new (3G) iPhones are ready to be sold. They’re just waiting to get rid of the first version (because no one would buy the old one).
The first iPhone was a great looking phone and hopefully the new 3G model will keep most of the same features.
I only hope that the 3G iPhone is not tied to just one network. I am on Tmobile in the UK and I just hope that the 3G iPhone is available on my Network.
Pavlo, same here in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It costs between $800 and $1000
We might stick with the v1.0 since no telcom operators offer 3G here.
It’s good to hear that Apple is following up with their next installment of iPhone.Hope,they will fix up the flaws that they had in the earlier version like 2.0 MP camera(low resolution),poor battery life etc..
@JR – Agreed! Or at least give the folks at engadget some credit!
@9
its the imac camera settings. A fix is in the works
so what does 3g buy you? Calling when international + higher speeds? How much better is it than what the iphone currently runs on?
The 3g iPhone may finally get me to get rid of windows mobile. Im not looking forward to the $60 a month after being on a sprint sero plan, but I need something that will let me easily update my site from my phone, and the iphone can probably do that. I need to find a copy/paste solution though
Yaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be very interested to see what this means. I find it hard to believe that they are unavailable because they can’t manufacturer them quick enough as has been the case with game consoles in the past.
I have used my iPhone so much in the past year that my battery is finally starting to wear down so I would be really interested in buying the latest model, and passing down my old phone to my fiance! Here’s hoping.. ^_^
I haven’t seen a single Seesmic video comment yet that didn’t come off as either awkward or creepy. What a gimmicky waste of bandwidth.
They’re running out of stock, what else?
That’s odd. AT&T has them over <a href=”http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/cell-phones/cell-phones.jsp?wtSlotClick=1~001057~0~1&WT.svl=calltoaction&allTypes=on&feapaytype=standard&startFilter=false&allFeatures=on&manapple=apple”on their site.
I wonder how apple sold out before AT&T did?
iPhone interface designers check out http://www.320480.com
320480 will be a comprehensive site dedicated to helping interface designers and developers create interfaces for iPhone applications.
At least there are still all of the iphone clones on ebay.
I could care less about 3g for iPhone, I just want an iPhone on verizon wireless… because I’m on, yes you guessed it… Verizon.
Apple Can I please have my iPhone now!
A 3g iPhone sure would be nice.

@Tim G
Thanks for the complements Tim, I love the video capability also.
There was an interesting article about this very topic on iphones on rabbledabble.com located at http://www.rabbledabble.com.
Very eye opening …
Video in comments is like mixing oil and water. You’d be better off just saying “click here to see my comment”, and have it go to your blog.
@Wayne – It’s not personal I just think the whole concept is a pointless waste of bandwidth. But regardless…you deserve a good flaming for posting a clip as crappy as that.
So the rumor is from downunder (Australia that is) is that Steve Jobs will be coming here at the end of June to both open the 1st ever Apple store in the heart of Sydney’s CBD AND launch the 3G iphone!
Let’s wait and see!
i wonder if the new blackberry release is at all related to this.
No love for engadget I see, but like taking their content?

I guess Apple can’t resist the summer love fest. Ironically, my phone plan expires this summer….hmmmmm
I wonder how much they’re going to charge for the 3G data plan.
I’m betting it’s more than $20.
Yup … 3g is imminent now …
