iPhone 4 or iPhone 4G launched by July 1, 2010?
With all of the Apple tablet hype, some people may have lost sight of the fact that the iPhone dynasty is due for an upgrade this year. Indeed, there has already been a rumor -- sparked by an article in the Korea Times -- that Apple is getting ready to test an "iPhone 4G" in Korea with an OLED screen, removable battery, and dual-core processor as soon as April of this year. As one observer noted, "U.S. availability isn't specified in the report, but an upgraded iPhone in June wouldn't be surprising, as that falls in line with Apple's previous annual updates to the popular smartphone, 2008's iPhone 3G and 2009's iPhone 3GS."
If Apple is gearing up for another iPhone release this year, the question then becomes "when"? The original iPhone launched in late June 2007. The iPhone 3G was released in mid-July of 2008, and the iPhone 3GS was launched at the end of June 2009, following an announcement earlier in the month at the Apple WWDC.
