When most companies hold a product launch event it's almost impossible to avoid hearing about it months in advance -- and nearly as impossible to care. When Apple holds an event nobody knows what's going to happen -- and everybody cares. The latest rumor: Apple will hold a product launch event September 7 to unveil its next iPhone.
One possibility: a stripped down iPhone that relies on Apple's new iCloud Internet-based services for much of its storage, blogger Trevor Sheridan asserts, citing unnamed sources. Getting rid of much of the phone's flash memory could help bring down the costs of building an iPhone enough that carriers could offer them for free with a two-year contract. Interesting theory.
