iPhone 3.0 Coming Sooner Than Expected?
I think that the general expectation for the next version of the iPhone was for the early June WWDC to reveal the model, and the release would be sometime in July. However, signs are mounting that the new iPhone will be released in early June instead. Various reports tell of the iPhone being EOL’ed–End-of-Lifed, which means that supplies are drying up and no restocking is expected. This is usually a strong signal that a new version is coming within just a few weeks, not a few months.
AT&T now officially denies it, but representatives told customers that the 16GB model was no longer available and that refurbished iPhones were instead being offered. Despite the official denial in the U.S., Vodafone in Australia is telling staffers that the model is EOL’ed. At the same time, is Austria (not Australia), an ad appeared with a placeholder item for a 32GB iPhone, indicating the next version.
