O2 UK is said to be building its resources for a new iPhone launch later this year. The network has reportedly been reserving a significant proportion of its customer acquisition budget for the second half of the year. Mobile Today report that the new iPhone will allegedly come with 64 Gb of memory with industry sources noting that Apple has palced large orders in South Korea for memory modules. The new handset is also said to come with a higher resolution screen than in previous versions so as to better appeal to the video and gaming markets.


The screen size itself is expected to remain the same as in current models owing to the huge popularity of the app store. With more than a billion apps having been downloaded so far the app store has proven to be one of, if not the, most popular aspects of the iPhone. Re-coding all those apps for a new screen size would be a burden that many iPhone devs would be happy to do without.

Recent speculation has led some to believe that O2 UK may be about to loose its exclusive deal to sell the iPhone, but as yet nothing has officially changed and with signs pointing to O2 getting ready for a big campaign in the second half of the year it looks like they will once again be the port of call for iPhone customers in the UK.

PMSL... if you'd believe it, it can actually do that! There's a free app that quite literally does that !

Basically, it shows a full glass of beer on the screen, and you've got to tilt the iphone as if you're drinking a glass of beer... ;p yep, you guessed it... the glass empties magically as if you've really drunk the beer.
