New iPhone rumored for the marketplace

(image found on smartphonetoday)
Apple recently released an ipdate (version 2.2.1) for the iPhone and iPod touch devices. There was made mention of a new iPhone Hardware number iPhone 2.1, that has people starting to see a new iPhone device on the horizon. Apple is not officially saying anything to the release rumors.

"MacRumors indicated that Apple uses a specific numbering scheme in firmware to distinguish between iPhone models. For example, the firstgeneration iPhone 2G is labeled as iPhone 1.1, while the 3G is iPhone 1.2. The numbers don't change for storage increases but represent functionality of different devices.

MacRumors said the new model number can be found in the USBDeviceConfuguration.plist in an unencrypted firmware."

"One thing we know for sure is that the supposed new iPhone model won't be the much-rumored about smaller and cheaper iPhone Nano version of the iPhone. When asked about that possibility during Apple's earnings call last week, company COO put the kibosh on that rumor. Cook said:

You know us, we're not going to play in the low-end voice phone business. That's not who we are. That's not why we're here. We'll let somebody do that, our goal is not to be the unit share leader in the phone industry. It is to build the best phone."
Well if Apple is listening i wish a few things could be added to the Apple iPhone:
  1. A removable battery option, so if the battery has an issue a customer can easily remove the bad battery for a good one.
  2. A nice huge drive on there for video, music and audio books. Face it folks with the solid state drives being now offered at over 512 GB, Apple could find a way to integrate a large drive capacity option.
  3. An option to attach an external drive to the unit so if people did get a smaller size iPhone they could upgrade their drive size.
