After so many indiscretions on the date of issue, are beginning to filter the first rumors about the characteristics and design of the new version of iPhone.
iLounge reports various indiscretions reached by the producers of accessories, which were received by Apple specifications of the new iPhone in order to prepare their products for launch date.
The new version of iPhone should not depart very, shapes and sizes, from the current one: in fact the choice of a design “full-screen” does not leave too much room for imagination. But is the back of the device which might restrict surprises: as filtered, Apple should abandon the metal case (more as a matter of weight and costs) and replace it with plastic quality, more-painting the houses could see a resounding reversing part of Jony Ive and members: the return to white, once dominant theme in the production chromatic Apple, then gradually abandoned so as to be represented, to date, from a single product list. In addition to white, should be available colouring black and perhaps a special version red Product (RED).
On the front of the device was noticed what is called a “sensor”, in all likelihood this is the room for making video.
It must be stressed that such rumors is not a novelty: when he launched “Made for iPod“, the certification program of accessories for the media player, Apple had to apply exceptions to its traditional secrecy. Many customers, in fact, pay fior di own money to get the opportunity to be in pole position, when a new device comes out with their specific accessories. This does not mean, however, that paranoia has abandoned Cupertino: it seems that there is the habit of “season” product data sheets sent to partner with special fantasy, different for each client: in this way, if you were to filter news, Apple know immediately identify the source.
In light of this, we can judge these indiscretions largely true, with just a detail likely to change.

It seems that Apple is about to make a profound change in its policy of distribution and sale of iPhone.
We all know that soon smartphone / iPod Apple will be profoundly renewed in hardware and software, however, there is another aspect that could have a decisive role in further success of this device.
Apple seems, in fact, be about to abandon the sale of iPhone with a carrier exclusive. The change might be needed for its introduction in markets like Italy, but this does not seem to be the only reason.
With the arrival of new firmware, Apple probably will be more concerned distribution of the device and the gain on new services offered, rather than the profits made by individual carriers.
Some rumor wanting the first launch of the new iPhone in Canada in June without any exclusive. For the same period smartphone / iPod Apple is also expected in othe countries.

Yesterday, Apple has released quarterly budget is like, partly anticipated, was a record quarter. But analyzing data, the results are extremely positive.
Apple has Mac sold for a total of 2.3 million units. A record positive if obtained in a period known not profitable for Apple. Compared with the previous year the increase was 51%. The total turnover was 7.5 billion dollars with a profit of 1.05 billion. Profits were up 43%.
The has produced numbers to 1.7 million while the iPod (probably helped by Touch) have exceeded 10 million units sold. The iPhone is sold only in certain countries and the 3G version is close to the issue while the iPod is a saturated market. It would be interesting to have the sales figures by type of iPod, but unfortunately these data were not published.
The quarterly results of Apple, at a time not flourishing for the American economy (with the risk withdrawal) show the keeping of the company and the prospects seem to be hopeful for the future. In a report more detailed you can see that Apple has totalled great numbers in all areas as well as in the various countries where it is present.
It will be interesting to observe the next two quarters, according to recent indiscretions Apple may revise the line Mac and introduce new products, without forgetting the iPhone 3G. In your future that awaits Apple?
