Lots more fuel on the 3G iPhone rumors fire today. A listing for an ‘iPhone Black’ model has been spotted on an account management portion of the AT&T site, and reported all round the web today.
So far, nobody seems to have found any further details on this listing, or whether it may relate to the existing iPhone or possibly to a new 3G model - but that doesn’t stop us from seeing it as another hopeful sign of an impending launch.
Yet another sign of a 3G iPhone coming out sooner than expected and maybe any moment now???

When the 3G iPhone is introduced this summer, AT&T, the exclusive U.S. iPhone sales partner with Apple, will cut the price by as much as $200, according to a person familiar with the strategy.
AT&T is preparing to subsidize $200 of the cost of a new iPhone, bringing the price down to $199 for customers who sign two-year contracts, the source says. Apple is expected to have two versions of the new iPhone, an 8-gigabyte-memory and a 16-gigabyte-memory model with price tags widely expected to be $399 and $499.
So says the Techland blog on the CNNmoney.com site. They’ve also got some math in their post about how quickly AT&T could get their money back on any subsidy by way of the data plans all iPhone users have to fork out for and through just standard subscription costs.
This is all from another of those famous ‘un-named’ sources - but hey, this is definitely my favorite rumor of the week, or the month of April even

So we’ve got it on authority that the second-gen iPhone is already well into testing, and numerous units are floating around in super secret pockets. A trusted source got a chance to check one out, here’s what we’ve heard.
That’s the opening of Engadget’s post earlier today - that also says we might see the V2 iPhone introduced or even shipping by as soon as July. Between this, and all the various financial analysts comments this week, it really does seem like more and more ’smoke’ is pointing towards Apple announcing the new 3G / V2 iPhone at the WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) next month, and seeing it available to but within a month or two after that.

We’ve got a great start to the iPhone Rumor Mill this week - with reports that Italy is set to get the ‘next generation’ 3G iPhone in the next few weeks. Apple Insider reports - via the Repubblica newspaper - that:
Under the terms of the deal, TIM will reportedly receive a several month exclusive on sales of a 3G iPhone through its retail shops, which will be staffed with specialists who are trained to support iPhone customers and get the touch-screen handsets up and running on the carrier’s 3G network.
Given that Italians are the number one consumer of pre-paid wireless contracts worldwide each year, Apple is also reported to have agreed to terms by which the new iPhone will be sold at a higher price than in other European countries, but without a carrier lock and two-year service agreement.
That’s a whopper of a rumor, which raises several obvious questions real quick I think:
Why Italy? Why launch the iPhone V2 in a market that hasn’t even seen V1 of the phone as yet? I know that 3G is considered much more of a must-have, dealbreaking feature in Europe than it is in the US, but that still doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t launch V2 in one for their 3 existing European markets. Are Apple really ready to change their business practices on contracts and carrier locks so soon? Apple execs have stated publicly before that they are not married to the same business practices forever with the iPhone - but up to now I think the theory was a change might come in China or one of the other big Asian markets first.
It will be very interesting to see how - or if - this rumor pans out over the next few days …

The switchover from T-Mobile to AT&T as the provider of wireless networks at Starbucks in the US seems to have started. According to Ars Technica writer David Chartier, at his personal blog site:
From various reports around the web the last couple of days, it sounds like maybe most new build Starbucks sites in the US are getting AT&T wireless service right from the off, and the service is getting a staged rollout to existing shops. A local Starbucks manager told Chartier that all the stores in the US should be done by summer.
Any amount of free access sounds good, and two hours worth sounds real good to me. I’m hoping to see this at a new Starbucks that’s just fnishing construction a couple miles from me soon.

Finally. Contacts search on the iPhone, from Apple - not a third party app. That’s what Engadget says has been spotted in the enterprise version of iPhone firmware 2.0.
I was not paying enough attention during the SDK launch I guess - I didn’t even realize there would be a separate enterprise version of the firmware. The Engadget post also mentions that enterprise users do not get the iTunes Store or App Store icons. The short post makes it sound as if search could be a feature *only* on an enterprise version of the software. Hopefully that is not the plan, and the feature is just being initially tested with enterprise beta users before rolling it into all the 2.0 firmware …

Zibri - the creator of the Ziphone iPhone jailbreak software - has spotted some code in the latest firmware that is said to reveal the new 3G chip that may be used in the 3G iPhone. The mention of ‘SGOLD3′ in the code is thought to reference the successor to the S-GOLD2 chip from Infineon.
Infineon’s less fancy name for the S-GOLD3H chip is the PMB8878, a 7.2Mbps HSDPA chip with all the video acceleration and media playback features iPhone users have come to expect. Advantages over its predecessor include higher resolution camera support (5 megapixels instead of 2), a 2x speed MMC / SD interface and DVB-H module support, but that doesn’t necessarily mean any of those specs will end up in the ensuing iPhone 3G — S-GOLD2 has plenty of features the current iPhone doesn’t take advantage of. The processor speed, however, remains the same.
The higher rez camera support would be very nice, but the same processor speed is a little disappointing - suppose that is still due to a battery life trade-off?

Looks like 3G iPhone Rumor Number 314 - the one where the WSJ’s Walt Mossberg pronounced the new model would arrive in 60 days, which we shared last Saturday - has been shot down by the man himself. I just read a report on this over at Gear Diary, and much as a lot of us expected, Mossberg has clarified things as follows:
Just today the Silicon Alley Insider is reporting that Walt was “bemused” that sites reported his comments as an announcement. He follows up with “If I knew when this date was, why would I announce it in the middle of a sentence at the Finnish embassy, rather than report it in the Wall Street Journal?”.
So much for that one. Not to worry though, I’m sure there’ll be a few more coming along shortly …
