Will they both be snappier?

Uh, yeah. Entry-level will be a 16-GB version. The Pro model will be a 32-GB version. No other differences.

I agree with Fat Bastard.

I don't think Apple will muddy the waters trying to differentiate between pro and consumer in the phone market, especially while the current business model is working so well.

hasn't WU man been wrong just about everytime he predicts something. he's at least got one thing going for me, the whole june july bit. ahh what the hell, here's my prediction. Announcement in June, sold in July. how aboout that?? Any takers??

Just remember what Mr. Wu said a couple of months ago--no Mac refreshes any time soon, after which Apple announced refreshes to iMac, Mac mini, and Mac Pro.

Brilliant!

An entry level iPhone would be the kiss of death to some other parties, in the same manner the release of the iPod Nano and Shuffle killed off many rivals. Interesting, but will Apple do it so soon?

If you look at what Apple did with the iPod - releasing a second model (the mini) and then eventually expanding it to four models - I can see them following this same pattern with the iPhone, given the similarities.

Heck, the iPhone's biracial brother is the iPod touch.

As opposed to the WinMo Student, Home, Business, Semi-Pro, Pro, Enterprise, and Master of The Universe versions. There is only one gesture that works across all those touch UI.

There at it again... sneaky bastards. Let details start to leak, kill current sells, as people wait to see what's coming out of the magicians hat in a few months.

This can't come soon enough, if the rumors of things like camera upgrades and video support are true.

So China will get it's own iPhone, what? Permanently blocked YouTube, red color, startup screen with the familiar looking babyface (not user changable), always on microphone, keyword activated video transmission, always on GPS tracking, what else, did I forget something? Oh, the battery is bigger but screen smaller.

It seems like with each iPhone relaunch, AT&T;finds a way to increase pricing. I wonder what "flexible data plan" really means?

"... a new report from his supply chain and industry sources"

that is so laughable it is not even funny anymore. summing up the existing rumors is not a "channel check". unbelieveable that no one in the mainstream press questions these people.

they are wrong most of the time but no one takes the burden to give us an info on the accuracy of their former predictions. these analysts don't have any "sources" or "supply chain contacts" they just rely on the public to quickly forget how wrong they were last time they predicted someting.
