More surprises in iPhone 4? Apple asks FCC to keep details secret

June 18th, 2010

Apple iPhone 4 FCC letter

Could Apple have more technical surprises in store for the iPhone? They’ve asked the FCC to keep photographs and details secret for 45 days, so who knows? We’ve already heard about the 512MB of RAM hiding inside, but Apple is still playing it coy:

“Although Apple has begun to market the device publicly, these documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publically disclosed in such marketing and that is protected by Apple as confidential and proprietary secrets.”

Speculate away. Come next Thursday, there ought to be tear-downs aplenty to find out.

Did the iPad Look Unfinished Because Apple is Hiding iPhone 4.0 Features?

TiPb mentioned this a couple times in passing — that the iPad perhaps didn’t show things like multitasking and better notifications because it’s running iPhone 3.2 and those will be iPhone 4.0 features, likely only to debut in March — but now Boy Genius seems to think (hope?) this is a real possibility as well.

It would certainly fit with Apple’s hyper-secretive modus operandi, and if you remember back to 2007, the original iPhone received additional features (a glass screen, YouTube app) before it shipped. Granted, there’s only 2-3 months here and not 6, but would it surprise anyone to see the iPad ship with 3.2, only for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad to all see 4.0 beta in March, and general release in June/July?
