Feeds are burning up with chatter about whether or not the next iPhone will flash a grin at the Jobs-less Schiller-heavy WWDC keynote. What’s your totally uneducated—or surprisingly prescient—guess?
The best post on the subject is from John Paslkdjclkjdcski (just kidding, dude—P-A-C-Z-K-O-W-S-K-I) at AllThingsD, who quotes Apple-whore analyst Gene Munster who says it’s an absolute “nope,” then updates the story with a quote from another equally non-Apple-employed person saying it’s likely. The reasons are both valid: No, because Apple will wait for the return of Jobs to unveil sweet goodies; and yes, because if new iPhone has new programming requirements, they’ll want to spring them on developers at a developers conference. Pacz himself seems to lean towards “yes,” since WWDC is Apple’s biggest scheduled attraction of the year. I’m leaning toward “hrmmaybeletsjustseecantsayforsurewhateveryeahsoundsgood.” What’s your call? [AllThingsD]

For sure an iphone, for shit sure. And can we all cross our fingers for a new 30 inch led display to coincide with the release of snow leopard. And at the same time a new high end graphics card and speed bump or price drop or both. If apple does all this I will personally kick-start the economy! I might even just buy an iphone to say thanks

I’m not so sure about a release, but definitely an announcement. Same drill as last time ;)

There definitely will be a new one. It won’t have a different screen but just might be brighter, better battery life, thinner, better camera, camera on the front, etc. There are too many apps out there that use that screen resolution for them to change it just yet. Minor cosmetic changes.
