No vacations in June for AT&T employees
Of course, we know that iPhone OS 4.0 is due out sometime soon, and because the new OS features will only work on the current 3GS model so far, it's not a stretch to think that Apple is prepping a brand new iPhone. A new handset has long been rumored to work on Verizon's network, but this would suggest that even if it is spread across multiple carriers, AT&T will have it for sure.
We'll keep our eyes open as usual, but if you were planning to buy an iPhone and can wait until June for a new model, that's probably a good idea.

This is BS people. I work for AT&T and there has been NO announcement that vacations can't be taken in June or July.

oh, and i really pitty the poor US shoppers - only 1 network (or even 2 soon?).
in australia we have iPhone on 5 networks. LUV IT.
Verizon employees:
Put in a summer vacation request now! Anxious iPhone fans want to know if you get rejected too!
It's not like anybody does any work at AT&T anyway.

*WRONG*
Every iPhone release has been in June, not July.
@Mike: Actually, multitasking is not the only feature the 3G does not get, installed 4.0 on a 3G and not only was everything extremely slow (compared to 3.1.3) but the other big feature, wallpaper on the homescreen, doesn't seem to work. Being that its the first beta, i suppose it could be a glitch, but then again...

Yes, it's a glitch - the wallpaper anomaly has been seen on 3GS models as well. The only feature currently missing from the 3G is multitasking.
Yippy! The 3GS seems a little outdated anymore.
April 16 2010 at 7:36 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyYeah, as far as I have been able to discover, the only feature that definitely won't be on the 3G is multitasking, which personally, I could not care less about. IN the year I have had my 3G there have been maybe one or two times MT was something I was really wishing I had, but not having it is no more than the most minor nuisance. My 3G is still working great and does everything I need it to do, and my guess is the majority of 3G owners feel the same. I'll upgrade when I need to, not because Apple makes something sexier. been there, done that . . .

I'm not really sure exactly what this new design should look like, hopefully Jonathan Ive and his team have something good up their sleeves.
I would like to see something a bit thinner, though.
