When Steve Jobs takes the stage

Pricing is my number one query. I want to know what the new iPhone will be priced at.

Second, I want to know how they’re going to handle upgrades. If you’ve got an ‘official’ iPhone from o2, can you upgrade easily and quickly? What’s the cost?

I’ve actually got a load of questions. However my preferred way of dealing with this all is to sit back and let the trauma commence across this evening. Then watch Steve’s presentation on Apple.com and make my judgements that way.

How will you be following the announcement? Dare we follow a ‘real time’ twitter-feed?

  1. I think I'll watch the live updates on macrumorslive.com, in the past this appears to have been a good resource. This year, they are also offering (less frequent) twitter updates.

    I too am interested in the price and hopefully the unlocking ability will still be there, to allow me to use the 3G iPhone with 3 (which can't be done with the existing version).

  2. I'm far more interested to know how iP2.0 is going to handle existing jailbroken phones. Might have to wait a few weeks I guess.

    Apple have made a ton of cash and cachet off the jailbroken market hack-lock-hack cycles, and it's the 3rd-party apps more than anything that have kept the wheels spinning on the iPhone media hype wagon. I don't necessarily want the Apple-approved apps – I like the little guy, the innovator. Google Maps or Navizon? built-in email picture or SendPics?.

    Great if their ideas prove so popular that they move into the big time with an official SDK build / deal, but blocking 3rd party apps and making Apple the gatekeepers will do no good.

    All this said, the Apple stuff will likely be eye-wateringly nice and simple, integrated and more than good enough for Normobs, so the whinings of one nostalgic for the kudos of early jailbreaks (wow – I broke it in only 3 hours using 10 different scripts!) means nothing.

    /m

  3. 🙂 It can – I know a chap who has several setup like this. It needs to be a PAYG SIM though and you're permanently roaming on Orange which is likely to upset them sooner or later.

    Proper official 3G iPhone on 3 would be excellent though.
