about the Apple’s iPhone are emerging by the hour! The fever is at climax today with a strong rumor of a December 18 announcements. Yesterday we learned (…we think we learned) that the iPhone would be build with a 3.5” screen and metal case.

Today, we have new information on the technology that Apple would use to manufacture the device. According to Thinksecret’s sources, the iPhone will be a GSM/EDGE (2.5G) phone and not a UMTS (3G) device. Apple’s decision to go with 2.5G lies in the technology’s advantages over 3G: physically smaller components and more reliable communication.

The website also reveals that Apple does not want to see carriers subsidize the cost of the iPhone to customers, bucking an industry trend. They want to protect the value of the iPod brand and do not want the iPod to become a commodity for the carriers.
