Two more days to go and we’re all expecting a 3G iPhone announcement by Steve Jobs at WWDC. Until then expect the rumor mill to keep running as it has been for the past couple of months. Engadget now has it from a “reliable source” that the supposed 3G iPhone firmware has been leaked and dissected revealing all sorts of new and interesting details. The new info “confirms” quad-band GSM support, A-GPS, and tri-band UMTS/HSDPA but the new hardware details look pretty interesting. This is what Engadget’s got:
- Infineon PMB6952 / S-GOLD3 six-band UMTS / HSDPA transceiver
- Murata LMRX3JCA-479 tri-band amplifier (we’re assuming for the 3G)
- Sony SP9T antenna switch for GSM / UMTS dual mode
- ARM 1176JZF-S – Main CPU (same as in 1st gen iPhone)
- Skyworks 77427 chip – UMTS / HSDPA tx 1900MHz, rx 2100MHz
- Skyworks 77414 chip – UMTS / HSDPA 1900MHz
- Skyworks 77413 chip – UMTS / HSDPA 850MHz
- Internal build model number: n82ap (1st gen iPhone was model m68ap)
- UMTS Power Saving option – on or off
- Hooks for Global Locate Library (GLL), software that handles A-GPS related commands for the host processor
