Upcoming iPhone Rumors: Smaller Screens, Service Carriers, and More

Though Apple tends to keepquiet about its upcoming products, that doesn't stop people from speculating about future developments from Apple. And thanks to some news from Toshiba, who makes the memory chips for Apple's handheld devices, the iPhone rumors are abounding.

Today Toshiba announced that it will be offering a new 64 GB memory chip. This means that the next iPhone could have up to 64 GB of storage, and the next iPod Touch up to 128 GB of storage.

Another iPhone rumor concerns its mobile broadband situation. Verizon Wireless could start being an iPhone carrier next year, ending AT&T's current monopoly. Personally, I think that would be a good thing, since it could force currently high AT&T fees to drop.

Another rumor (that I really hope is not true) says that the new iPhone will have a 2.8-inch display. The current and previous iPhones have all had 3.5-inch screens (which I personally find to be a most perfect size).
