iPhone 3G coming soon!

October 15th, 2007

As Steve Jobs was explaining earlier. The iPhone is currently working with GSM network only because 3G chip are using too much power and drain the battery quickly.

Today, Broadcom announced a new chip combining all technologies which consumes less battery power since there are less chip in the phone! I was expecting this since Steve announce publicly why not using a 3G chip.

Go see the details at Electronista or the complete press release on Broadcom‘s website

This will open the market in Canada. As of now, the only carrier working with GSM was Rogers but with a 3G phone, Apple could sell their handheld with any carrier in Canada and Asia next year and broaden their contracts in Europe. The only problem right now is the current chip provider for the iPhone but I guess they will soon offer something to compete with Broadcom.
