This morning, I made nine predictions about the 3G iPhone that was announced by Apple's Steve Jobs today.
Looks like I went 6 for 9, which, in baseball would be a gaudy .667 batting average. But in technology predictions, it's not bad either.
Here is what I predicted, and if I got it right:
- 3G support: Yes
- GPS: Yes
- Thinner, more plastic design: Yes (on the edges, anyway)
- One color: No (16 GB model is available in white)
- Same-sized screen: Yes
- Front-facing video camera for iChat: No (just a rumor, apparently)
- 8 and 16 GB models: Yes
- $199 subsidized pricing: Yes
- Available now: No (Launching on July 11)
As a punishment for not going 9 for 9, I guess I'll wait until July 11 to get the new iPhone. And that video camera would've been cool. Maybe next year.

at least existing iphone users can upgrade to the 3G model and only have to incur the 2 year ATT service contract that everyone else does... in other words, if you had a year left on your existing contract and upgraded, you will only have a 2 year contract, not 3.

From everything I have seen, existing iPhone owners will receive no trade in credit or anything like that. I think Steve can sleep at night cuz he gave us $100 last year after dropping the price. I don't think the reparations will keep coming.

Yes, the edges are thinner, but the phone itself is actually a little thicker (12.3mm instead of the current 11.6mm)
