The rumor mill has been quiet for too long

Alright guys/gals well its May, 1 month left before the new iphone comes out and whats bugging me the most is that its been "quiet" so to say.

The closer to release date the more things come up but is it still to soon?

It's probably not going to be released in June, you know. If something comes out this summer, it will likely follow the same schedule as last year: revealed in June, released in July.

I think all the main rumors are already in place regarding hardware enhancements. All we need now is those case design leaks and we're set for June.

Having spent the better half of the last few weeks reporting on Pre rumors, I'm kind of glad we've taken a break from rumors at EIC. I suspect things should start ramping up if June will bring a new iPhone. Plenty of iPhone HD rumors a few weeks back, but things have quieted down. Calm before the Storm (ahem, new iPhone).

It's been nutty over there...

Yeah, like im so desperate for to see any type of leaked iphone images. I wana know what its gona look like.

If only governments had the secrecy that Apple has. Oh what a world.

yea i just wana see what it looks like, i realy dont care for alot of upgrades. If everything is in hd, the battery life is going to go down.

The battery life we dont know about yet. Allegedly they have a bigger capacity battery.

I agree with London, despite all the nasty things he says about me.

You're assuming that the battery in the new iPhone will remain the same. I'm thinking that it'll be an upgraded design in order to better handle the extra demand forced upon it by (possible) HD recording, improved screen, etc.

Also, some of the chips in the new iPhone may be improved versions with lower power consumption characteristics.

Crap - I'm starting to get excited for the new iPhone! Again!

Ye they may be true but iam thinking it's gunna be worse. I hope the battery is bigger or more cells and last longer

It won't be worse.

Just think back to the new MBP. There were some significant battery updates in that thing. Why wouldn't they apply that technology on a smaller scale?
