According to an interpretation of a report originally performed by ChinaTimes, SlashPhone, a mobile phone news site, reports that Apple has just recently placed an order for 4 million new iPhones.
“Together with the rumors on the new iPhone in the past few months, here is yet another rumor from chinatimes according to its source from iPhone component suppliers. According to its insider news, Apple has already ordered 4 million units of new iPhones and expected to receive the shipment by end of this quarter. These iPhones might be a combination of 3 new models, with one only supports EDGE wireless data connection, another one for 3G wireless data connection and one model made for China market (for China’s TD-SCDMA network?). There will not be iPhone Nano and the new iPhone 2009 will be similar to the current iPhone 3G, according to the report.”
There you have it folks, even more evidence of a new iPhone in the works. I can say with a reasonable amount of certainty now that Apple must have some sort of Next Generation iPhone currently in development.
