I just finished “watching” Apple’s WWDC via Macrumors and Gizmodo. You almost feel like you drinking the Apple Koolaid watching Steve Job’s keynote presentation.

The new iPhone 2.0 with 3G and GPS

white and black iPhone 2.0 with 3G and GPS

So, the big announcement was that Apple have released the iPhone 2.0. It now has 3G and GPS, it’s thinner with a black plastic back, solid metal buttons, same gorgeous display, camera, flush headphone jack, and dramatically improved audio. There will also be a white version!

It is also a lot more affordable. When it first launched, the 8GB iPhone cost $599 (R4700). It now will retail worldwide for $199 (R1500). So I’m guessing when it launches in South Africa on the 20th of July, you’ll be able to pick one up on some of the more affordable Vodacom contract packages!

    I don’t know what Apple is on about with the new iPhone being thinner… because it isn’t.
    iPhone specs, obtained from http://www.gsmarena.com:
    115 x 61 x 11.6 mm (version 1.0)
    115.5 x 62.1 x 12.3 mm (version 2.0)
    this means that the new iPhone is TALLER, WIDER and THICKER.

    The new iPhone is lighter than the previous version
    135 g (version 1.0)
    133 g (version 2.0)

    Don’t get me wrong, I’ll be waiting in line on July 20, come hell or high water.

    I still can’t decide whether I’d like an iPhone, I wonder what they’ll retail here for, any idea Jason?

    @Chris – Have a look at this post I wrote on ItWeek – http://www.itweek.jaded.co.za/205/iphone-3g-vodacom – Just some speculation on what it might retail for. ;-)

    Wow… I think R1500 is wishful thinking; it will probably be at least triple that on prepaid. Eish, these Americans and their cheap electronics!
