Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs announced today that product development cycles at the Cupertino, California, firm have become so fast that the company plans to release iPhone 3.0 at the end of June, more than a week before the previously scheduled release of version 2.0.The second new edition of the popular mobile computing platform to be announced this week, iPhone 3.0 is even thinner and more powerful than the unreleased 2.0 model.
“iPhone 3.0 will sell for only $19.99,” said Mr. Jobs, “and it’s so amazingly cool you’ll feel like an idiot that you even got excited when I announced version 2.0 earlier this week.”
The unreleased version 2.0 will go from “instant classic” to obsolete without ever being sold to a single customer.
Of course, most owners of the original iPhone had already sold their devices on eBay to avoid the embarrassment of being caught on July 11 with old technology in hand.
