More and more rumours seem to indicate that we can expect
two iPhones from Apple. According to analysts the firm will introduce a 3G and a GSM version of the iPhone by March 2007.
Apple's suppliers will make approximately 12 million phones during 2007, nine million GSM versions and three million 3G versions, a Taipei-based analyst revealed to vnunet.com, on condition of anonymity.
The choice of different component suppliers for each model reinforces earlier claims that the two products will be substantially different.
Apple is believed to be working on a smartphone with wireless internet, a full keyboard and video playback, as well as a simpler music phone, according to Prudential Equity Group analyst Jesse Tortora. These two products appear to correspond respectively to the 3G and GSM versions.
