“Apple might as well put out a press release“, says Forbes’ writer Brian Caulfield.
With the iPhones sales only at 1.7 million so far, and Apple standing fast with their 10 million iPhones sold by 2009, that can only mean one thing. There will be a fairly major overhaul of the iPhone, and soon. The sales announcement was included in a conference call hosted by Steve Jobs, talking about Q2 profits, which, by the way, increase 37% from the previous year. One thing that was also noted in the call were the soaring Mac sales and the slumping iPhone and iPod sales. Another interesting little tidbit about the call was the responses from Apple COO Tim Cook and Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer when asked about details of the possibility of a new iPhone. Cross Research’s analyst Sharon Cross was the most bold in prodding the two men for information, asking if “Apple will still sell the current-model iPhone once it rolls out an iPhone able to work on high-speed so-called “3G” networks.” Nice try, Sharon. When shot down by Cook, she replied “We’ve got to try sometimes”.
It seems pretty apparent that a new iPhone is in the works, and it is only a matter of time. Leave a message in the comments about whether or not you think the iPhone will get a redesign in the next few months.
