iPhone 4.0 and iPhone 4G rumours

What will the next iPhone OS and iPhone have?

Lots of interesting tidbits are circulating about the next Apple iPhone update. There’s whispers of multitasking down the track – and much more…

Apple Insider’s prediction:

Apple this summer will go a long way towards silencing critics and catering to one of the most prevalent demands of its iPhone user base, when it introduces a multitasking solution through the handset’s 4.0 software update that will finally allow several third party apps to run concurrently and in the background.”

So then, what about battery life? If they go ahead and allow multitasking – how long will your iPhone battery last?

You might need more than a Mophie Juice Pack Air to help out!

“What iPhone OS are we running anyway?”

So when might this 4.0 version of the operating system be released. And what, if anything, is holding it up?

With the Apple iPad due for release late April, does it mean Apple can then finally unveil iPhone 4.0, as it is said to have “high reference to the iPad” in the iPhone 4.0 OS.

More about iPhone 4.0 OS:

• AppleInsider – iPhone OS 4.0 with multi-tasking
• SlashGear – iPhone 4.0 imminent

But let’s forget about iPhone 4.0 OS for a moment – what about iPhone OS 3.2?

engadget has some rumours (or trumours?) about what is expected for OS 3.2.

“What about the 4th generation iPhone?”

Will they also release an updated iPhone – iPhone 4G or iPhone HD?  I’d say that’ll wait til July when iPhones are historically released.  It would seem PhonesReview concur with that too.

Improved antenna, better reception, less dropped calls?  Sounds good – even, overdue.

So maybe OS 3.2 with the iPad late April…. OS 4.0 with a new iPhone in July?
