As we now see, you were TOTALLY crazy to predict the HD iPhone last year!

My Prediction: Next year, Steve Jobs will move the screen on the front to the back, the back Apple logo to the front, the port from bottom to top, and the headphone jack from top to bottom.

The 128 gig iPhone will be released for $1000 more, with a 10 year contract with ATT.

I don’t think that you can transmit anything over 550 over standard composite cables. The component cables can be output in three different standards.

I hope this isn’t true…then I’ll HAVE TO upgrade to the 3GS… I mean, it will then be a MUST…lol

I’ve been holding out since the release of the 3GS, but if they start outputting in 1080p to HDMI, and even thrown in the ability to stream movie rentals…than gosh darnit I’m in!

This would make sense actually because I remember there being a report earlier in the year of how apple stores had been told to get rid of the iPhone cable stock. Everyone thought it was for the upcoming iPhone and maybe they were right. Heck, you didn’t just think that 3.1 was going to be all bug fixes and minor improvements… Apple needs to roll out new features, and this would be a great one. To back that up, apple was told to make more of a presence in the living room, in which case making this seem ever more realistic. Hmm this should be one to watch…

Component cables can also output 480p, 720p, and 1080i.

Apple already makes component-out cables – I’m assuming the iPhone or iPod in question will just downscale the output to match the cable.

What I really want to see is an HDMI-out cable, like Rene said

Obviously Apple would have to come out with a new set of AV cables for this to work well but I don’t think I want to hog iPhone space for something my MacBook pro already does.

You can’t transmit anything over 480i over standard composite cables so it would take either component DVI or HDMI.
