Gartner analyst Ken Dulaney believes that Apple has placed a 10 million unit-strong order for another round of iPhone release and these units are most likely to be 3G-capable.

Dulaney’s analysis of a 3G iPhone is very real because Apple will surely not release a new batch of iPhone, 10 million units at that, without the 3G technology that was lacking in the first wave.

Dulaney also indicatest that the new round of iPhone units will have a new display technology that will utilize the Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED), making a slimmer 3G iPhone. With the OLED display, battery performance of the iPhone will be increased because it does not have to power a backlight.

     Perhaps after learning that more iPhone users are now getting bored with their gadgets or maybe Apple insiders, who are also iPhone users, see the need for a much bigger memory for the much talked-about mobile phone, Apple has upgraded the iPhone.

     The revolutionary iPhone now comes in a new 16GB model for $499, joining the 8GB model for $399. iPod touch now also comes in a 32GB model for $499, joining the 16GB model for $399 and the 8GB model for $299.      (more…)
