Apple is preparing at least two versions of its forthcoming iPod mobile phone, popularly known as
the ‘iPhone’, according to reports from component suppliers in Taiwan and Japan.
A 3G version and a GSM version of the iPhone will be available by March 2007, sources have told analysts in Taipei.
Apple’s suppliers will make approximately 12 million phones during 2007, nine million GSM versions and three million 3G versions, a Taipei-based analyst revealed to vnunet.com, on condition of anonymity.
The choice of different component suppliers for each model reinforces earlier claims that the two products will be substantially different. Apple working on two iPhone models - vnunet.com
