Quanta to manufacture second generation iPhone with new case design?
The rumours are definitely ramping up as we enter the last two or three weeks before the iPhone launches.
The latest is that Taiwanese manufacture Quanta will be building the second generation iPhone, and that the device will sport a new case design.
According to a DigiTimes report, Quanta "has received an initial order for five million iPhones from Apple with shipments to begin in September of this year".
Quanta's own website makes the following statement:
"Quanta and Apple are building a tighter than ever relationships. Quanta not only manufactures NB and iPod for Apple, but also may have receive the order to make the second generation of the Apple iPhone. iPhone is a smartphone based mobile, and the second generation model shipment is expected in September 2007 with forecast of 5 million units in 2008."
Whether that's accurate remains to be seen - even this short paragraph says a lot more than Apple usually lets on. It won't stop the rumours.
Alternative cases for different geographical markets is all very nice, but I'm more interested in an updated feature set: 3G, GPS, more memory.
