Beating A Dead Horse: ENOUGH With The iPhone News

Posted in Apple by Dan at 8:23 am

Ok, who is with me in the fact that they don’t care or are numb to the incessant rumor mongering regarding the existence or the non existence of a 3G iPhone. I don’t care what day it will be announced, who is making it, how big its gonna be - I’m tired of the MONTHS of speculation from small hobbyist websites to the Wall Street Journal.

Lets sum it up here. There will be a 3G iPhone before the earth spins off its axis and hurtles to the Sun. Guess what, there will be a 4G iPhone too. Why don’t we get the rumors starting now - I hear it will grant eternal life!

  1. We don’t care that you don’t care… :) Apple has always had the masses flock to speculation. You’re not going to change that anytime soon. It’s just a fact of tech… Live with it.

  2. I’m a mostly happy iPhone owner and I agree - the “news” is tiresome. Besides, Exchange support is much more important to me than 3G.

  3. Odds are, there will be a 4G iPhone (not for quite some time, it’ll probably be the 3rd or 4th iPhone); since AT&T is pioneering 4G networks (completely IP based, instead of current network setups which essentially still rely on old PBX technology for the hand-offs), phone will eventually need to go to 4G.

    But yeah, I agree; too much speculation on the 3G - of course they will make one, why wouldn’t they? It’ll happen when Apple’s ready to release; until then, be happy with your EDGE phone or shut up :P

    You know what’s kinda ironic about this?
    There was going to be an iphone - period.
    And yet, there was hype. Lots of it. Oh joy.

  5. I heard the 4G iPhone will tap into your brain and use ESP to create Text Messages.

    But seriously, I’m a non-iPhone user, that is waiting for the 3G to be dropped before I switch to ATT. And all this ‘news’ is just making me pissed that we don’t have an official date for purchase. I’m sick of the speculation. I want facts. And the only facts that I trust come from Mr. Steve Jobs. And, unfortunately, he hasn’t been responding to my voicemails.

  6. i believe it’s called the iPod Redemption :P

  11. I also find it awesome that you moderate comments to your liking. My last comment was not spam, so why is it still awaiting “moderation” while you’ve “approved” 5 others since then.

    yea right Dan, we know you sit back there pulling little levers and shit…. hand verifying md5 sums of packets before they are sent over the interwebs!!

  14. I do cover news about the iPhone on my blog but I usually don’t post on EVERYTHING like so many other blogs do. I usually wait a few days until news comes out that whatever was originally stated is wrong or changed or whatever, this way I don’t have to post multiple times about the same news item. I also try to keep the stories about the iPhone to a minimum by not reporting on every rumor, only reporting on the rumors that seem to actually have some substance to them cuts down on the annoying iPhone posts to just a a few a week.
