I’ve got it blocked out in my spending plan to save for & buy the iPhone sometime this summer. (#59) Everything I’ve heard about it fits what I’d want in a new phone and more. The only drawback so far is that from what I’ve seen in photos taken by an iPhone, it has a crappy camera.
I’m hoping that there will be an update to the phone before I’m ready to buy it that includes an upgrade to the camera feature. Seems like the technology forums have rumors that there will be an update this year.
And this news item today seems to be foreshadowing an impending release!
Apple’s iPhone is in short supply at many of its U.S. stores, which could indicate a component shortage or a clearing of shelves for a new model, analysts said on Wednesday.

Apple could introduce a new iPhone in June or July, about three months earlier than previously expected, said American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu, citing checks with unidentified supply chain sources.
“What gives us higher conviction in the accelerated timetable is that iPhone inventory levels appear fairly lean, which is consistent with Apple’s tendency to wind down inventory ahead of an update,” Wu wrote in a note.

June/July would be perfect for me!
