In exactly a month Apple is widely expected to unveil a new iPhone at the Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco. Apple has sold more than 21 million of the smartphones since its launch in 2007 - a small number compared with the sales of mobile phones overall but the iPhone has had a disproportionately huge impact. Companies have been falling over themselves to produce touch screen phones with App stores.
There are already 35,000 apps for the iPhone and iPod Touch and there have been 1 billion downloads in just nine months. As the advertising slogan goes - there's an App for that. I even saw one the other day for gun enthusiasts called Bullet Flight which works with a special mount for an M110 sniper rifle: “You can set firearm/ammunition profiles, then call up the saved profile and enter your environment information, for example, distance, wind direction, elevation and temperature.” No jokes about killer apps please.
We know that Apple will be making available the new iPhone 3.0 operating system this summer and most people assume it will be launched at WWDC in early June. The iPhone 3.0 OS includes such goodies as cut, copy and paste; MMS: landscape view for Mail: stereo Bluetooth: syncing Notes to the Mac and PC: shake to shuffle, parental controls for TV shows, movies and apps from the App Store, and a new Voice Memo app.
So what will the new iPhone have? What are the rumours and how much can we believe them? Here is a rundown:
