Report: 3G iPhone to launch mid-year with Infineon chip
Now that the Mac line has been refreshed, let the next-generation iPhone rumors begin. Infineon, the current iPhone baseband supplier, will provide Apple with a new chip solution for its next-generation iPhone, which is expected to launch by mid-year - according to the investment bank, UBS. Research analyst Nicolas Gaudois said that a “new systems solution” will be provided by the German chipmaker. This includes a digital baseband controller, power management unit (PMU), and radio frequency (RF) module. “Consistent with these checks, our Apple analyst Ben Reitzes believes that 3G iPhones will be released by mid-year.“
The 3G iPhone was originally expected by many at the European launches. However, Apple released the standard 2.5G iPhones across Europe, and sales have proven good so far. Compared with other phones at this price level, the iPhone’s biggest let back is probably 3G connectivity. And seeing as the iPhone is advertised for having the world’s best web browser, the connections should be fast enough to get a good experience. I suspect the next iPhone will have a higher resolution camera, which has video support - maybe even supporting video calls over 3G… but these are just what I want.
