Steve Jobs announces 3G iPhone in 2008
Smashing the various iPhone 3G rumors to bits is the announcement of an iPhone 3G coming in 2008, delivered by Apple’s main man himself, Steve Jobs.
“You can expect a 3G iPhone later next year,” said Jobs in a press conference aptly named “Mum is no longer the word,” held in the Regent Street Apple store in London.
Jobs explained the reason why Apple did not put the iPhone on EDGE in the first place: the 3G chipset technology will just drain out the iPhone’s battery life (currently 8 hours). However, future iPhones will indeed run on 3G.
An iPhone model equipped with 2G EDGE technology is already in the works, and will be available in the UK on November 9. That may also mean that the leaked German T Mobile ad may not be just a rumor after all.
