More 3G iPhone RumorsLooks like there are more 3G iPhone rumors floating around. Lets have some fun with them. While there are no pictures of the device, the sources are MacRumors, and The Cult of Mac, 2 well known and trusted sources… But as always, these are rumors so I’ll believe them when I see them.

The first rumor is that the new iPhone will be lighter than the current model. No details on how much lighter. Probably a few grams here and there will be shaved off. The new model is apparently 22% thinner than the original… Can’t wait to see what that looks and feels like in my hand.

Second, the 3G iPhone will be available in many colors. This one has been going around for a bit now, so I’m not too surprised to hear this re-hashed again.

Also worthy of note are new rumors that the 3G iPhone will have a focus on Multimedia, with video recording and video conferencing capabilities. Perhaps iChat will debut on the device this time around? Mobile video conferencing… interesting…

GPS will of course be built-in, as that has been a long-awaited and wanted feature since the original iPhone launch.

As far as pricing is concerned look for a 16GB version to be priced at $499 and a 32GB to come in at $699.

As usual, I post these rumors for interest and discussion only. Don’t read them as the gospel, as they could very well be wrong… But I would certainly expect most of these rumors to be on the money. Look for the details to be spilled at the WWDC keynote next week by his Steve-ness.

What do you think?

3G iPhone HoaxWell wouldn’t you know it, the rumors weren’t true on this one. I kind of had a feeling it wasn’t the 3G… and I think most of us would agree with that.

If you don’t recall, a while back we reported pictures of a rumored 3G iPhone that had surfaced. The pictures looked sketchy and details were dodgy at best, so we filed it under unsubstantiated rumors at the time.

Now, there is confirmation from the streets of Hong Kong that this is simply a case for the current generation of iPhone.

I’ll believe the 3G iPhone has arrived when I have one right here, in my own hands :)
