Rumor: 25 million Tiny 3G iPhones

iPhone has always been a big hit along with the official announcement that the 3G capable iPhone will be released on July 11th, 2008. While everyone’s excited to get a thinner and more powerful gadget, there has also been a rumor that it may be smaller in overall size.

Foxconn, who’s known for assembling Apple’s products, may build 25 million tiny 3G iPhones.

The newest version is the third generation of this phone, weighing only 110 to 120 grams vs. first generation cousin’s 158 grams and running on 3G mobile technology. Adopting plastic casing instead of aluminum-magnesium casing largely brings down the gear’s weight and cost by nearly one third. In addition to weight advantage, the latest version is also more energy efficient and externally smarter. LCD screen on the phone measures 2.8 inches diagonally, a downsize from first generation’s 3.5 inches.

Who knows where time will take us?
