iPhone isn’t 3G
Steve Jobs to Wall Street Journal:
“When we looked at 3G, the chipsets are not quite mature, in the sense that they’re not low-enough power for what we were looking for. They were not integrated enough, so they took up too much physical space. We cared a lot about battery life and we cared a lot about physical size. Down the road, I’m sure some of those tradeoffs will become more favorable towards 3G but as of now we think we made a pretty good doggone decision.” more.
Titbits:
- Jobs has concerns about the connection speeds with GSM networks & feels that can be better. Ripping off the iPhone, one can see the Radio circuitry is being implemented on a separate daughter card. This makes easy for the iPhone’s evolution interms of mobile networks.
- Unlike to my belief, the storage comes as a Flash & not as a magnetic disk.
- Apple’s business is Samsung’s business. Atleast 2 chips from Samsung Semiconductor has gone into the phone; the app processor & the storage media. Could be more.
- This guy has 128MB of SDRAM & a 650 MHz CPU.
- Although there isn’t any mention about 3D graphics hardware, there is something sneaking inside.
- The total cost of build material is about 250 USD for a 8GB model. However its sold at 599 USD.
