Rumor: Upcoming iPhone parts list published

Once again, the folks at DigiTimes have leaked information about a forthcoming Apple product. Citing "Industry sources in Taiwan," they've published an alleged parts list for the next generation iPhone.

Standout items include the 3.2-megapixel CMOS image sensor from OmniVision, which seems in line with the rumored video features in iPhone OS 3.0. Also listed is NAND flash from Samsung and Toshiba and Mobile DDR DRAM from Samsung.

Most interesing is what missing from the list. Namely, the processor. So far, there are no solid rumors on what this could be, so it's really anyone's guess. We think it's safe to say, however, that Apple will release new iPhones this summer. Those who purchased original phones two years ago will have their contracts expire in June, just around the time that iPhone OS 3.0 and WWDC will drop. Here's to this summer!

Thanks to everyone who sent this in.

You are really behind the eight ball on this. Last i read you were the Apple Weblog. This chart has been dismissed as nothing new/of use by isupply two days ago. Seriously what happened to being on top of everything apple. I use come to you guys first - now it's a joke.

Any chance the next iPhone could play back 720p video, and even better output it? I don't want to deal with two different resolutions for podcasts.

Are you serious? This was plastered everywhere YESTERDAY morning. Way to take 30 hours to post it here.

why do u bother tellin us this? people are posting things like this all the time. who cares. this is the only site i go to for apple news.
whoopdi freekin doo. u knew about it yesterday. thats makes u so much more on top of the rumor game than the rest of us. wow. u can go stand in line earlier than me. again, who cares. as long as the news is getting routed here i'm happy. if they were missing out on news, then i would be upset.

if this is how u feel, stay readin other blogs and leave our comments sections alone.

geez.

Agreed - no need to even comment really, just move on to the next post. TUAW is always the first Apple/Tech site I go to in the morning and I don't care if they're a day late in churning the rumor mill. Have you just been refreshing TUAW for the past 30 hours waiting for this story to come through so you could make your (useless) point?

Besides, it's much better than a place like iphonealley which, from what I usually see, rips things almost verbatim from our friends here at TUAW and other sources.

WCDMA = UTMS = AT&T 3G

So, no... a WDCMA chip doesn't mean there's a CDMA (Verizon / Sprint / Alltel) version in the works. It just means that it'll support AT&T's 3G network.

I have held on to my 1st gen since the beginning. I'm super excited for this. My battery is at about 80% of it's original life now. But there is no point in paying apple $80 for a new battery when I get a new iPhone in a few months. This is going to be explosive, I can already tell. But yes, te above comment is right, AT&T will let any previous iPhone user upgrade to a new version of the iPhone nomatter when you started your contract. Because I have had the option to upgrade to a 3g since they came out, only a year into my original contract.

Do they normally have a 'WCDMA' power amplifier? Forgive me if this is a dumb question...

So why wouldn't all iphone users be able to upgrade, like last time?
