Faster Internet May be Coming to iPhone
Monday, March 23rd, 2009 at 8:40 AM - by Jeff Gamet
Apple's next iPhone model may sport even faster Internet access than the current model. Unnamed sources that are apparently familiar with the iPhone roadmap made the claim, but didn't specify if that meant a speed bump for 3G wireless data access, or if the next model will support 802.11n Wi-Fi, according to Silicon Alley Insider.
The current iPhone 3G supports 802.11b and g Wi-Fi networks, so it can't take advantage of the faster data transfer speeds that 802.11n offers -- and along with the iPod touch, account for the only devices in Apple's product lineup that don't support 802.11n. The iPhone 3G also supports 3.6Mbps speeds on 3G networks, but AT&T has been working to bring 7.2Mbps speed to its subscribers some time in 2009.
Even if AT&T hasn't completed its 3G upgrade by the time new iPhone models hit the street, Apple could still include a chipset that supports the faster speeds so that users can take advantage of the performance boost once AT&T catches up.
As always, Apple won't comment on rumors and unannounced products, so until official word comes from Cupertino, analysts will be left speculating about what's really in store for the next iPhone model.
