I'd like to hold off on the iPhone until the storage capacity goes up to 16gb. I don't care about 3G. How likely is this to happen during Macworld Expo SF?

Will probably be tied into the advancement of the technology in the current iPhone, since 4/8 are pretty cheap, but 16/32 are very expensive. So whenever Apple is able to get a solid deal on that size and is able to not jump the price up anymore. So, maybe next year with version two of the phone?

Or like the current iPhone it does not come out the summer, which is 5-7 months later?

If the rumor of a 16gb video iPod is real for Xmas 2007, then I think the demand for chips will preclude a similar iPhone until spring 08.

There are two rules of thumb:
  • Memory doubles every 18 months at same price.
  • Hardware gets updated to a more powerful version just after you bought it.

Exactly. Apple wont release the 16GB iPhone until 2 weeks after Macintologist buys one.

And hence the proper strategy is very simple: Buy an iPhone NOW so Apple updates them in two weeks. Then buy the new iPhone and put the "old" on eBay.

I wouldn't bet on a new model so soon after the holidays. They wouldn't want buyer's remorse nor a flood of returns. I'd bet on February or March.

Im also waiting for at least 16 gigs
I also predict this to happen at the next macworld

if I am wrong i will simply wait

It would also be nice if they fixed a few little other things by then also

I find the 8 just a fine size. Forces me to choose my music a bit more carefully which means a better list. I have a couple of movies including Stepping into Liquid which is super way to show folks this amazing phone. This is one of the most amazing technologies I have ever had. The touch screen is awesom. I am sure apple is going to come out with tablets that implement this and will blow away anything MS has in XP tablet. Anyway, I wouldn't wait for the next rev on this product.
