The Gadget 411 – Gadget Reviews & Tech News

Analyst Shaw Wu calls it: 2 new iPhones to come out later on this year. Wu, Kaufman Bros.’ analyst, reports that, according to his sources:

“Apple will launch two new models of the iPhone, one of which will have longer battery life, a faster processor and be capable of running more complex applications. Wu is unsure if the new phones will be available in June or July.
Additionally, Wu thinks that AT&T Mobility, the exclusive carrier for the iPhone in the United States, may cave in terms of data pricing for the hot gadget, offering tiered data plans to replace its single, $30 per month unlimited data plan.”

Wu-ut!
Well, there have definitely been indicators that Apple is prepping for …something. With the major update of its OS 3.0 slated to be released in June, and that you can now buy iPhones at Apple stores as well as at ATT stores sans contract, these are definitely indicators that they are clearing out inventory.
