In case you forgot, this Friday, Apple is officially debuting it’s new vacuum cleaner…I mean iphone. I haven’t owned an iphone yet, but I’ll be honest with you guys, I’m seriously considering the new one. Currently I’m stuck with the first model Samsung Blackjack, not too thrilled. Apple has really rocked the world with it’s continuous revolutionary products and the iphone is definitely one of them. So why do I want to buy the new iphone (and perhaps, why should you?)
Price
The new iphone is going to cost only $199, remember how much he original iphone cost? around $400. Of course, the $199 base version is really all I need, but for those of you out there who want the higher end model (more storage) you can spring for the $299.
Speed
When the first iphone came out the users complained of slow speeds and demanded a faster connection, Apple listened and the new iphone is going to be outfitted with 3G technology, which means faster downloads and faster internet access. By the way, rumor has it that the next version of the iphone is going to have something called “lite” or “light” technology, it’s supposed to be even faster then 3G.
3rd Party Apps and Features
I’m actually very excited about this. The fact the Apple has opened up it’s device to allow the creation of 3rd party applications is great. This means that you are sure to find an application out there that will be able to satisfy all of your needs, if not, you can always design and create your own 🙂 The phone is also going be equipped with a GPS that is far more accurate than the one the first iphone had. I also love the sleek look and feel of the phone itself, the design is just great.
It appears that the new iphone may have higher monthly costs associated with it but of course you have to check with your carrier to get all that info. I’ve been wanting the iphone since the first version came out, and now thanks the price cut, I just may get one. I would recommend waiting a few months though for all the reviews and feedback to come out, wait to see how people respond to it and if you get a chance, try to play around with one in the store or steal a friend’s.

So my question to all of you is, “are you going to get the new iphone? why or why not?
