Apple rumors and gossip never fail to entertain us and according to one of the latest rumors, Apple might be planning to roll out a new version of the iPhone i.e. Apple iPhone 32GB along with a contract free, home activation option.
This takes us back to history where Apple ditched the iPhone 4GB model just to introduce the new 16GB one and considering that the iPhone 8GB is just getting too saturated and dry in the market, Apple may really be planning to roll out these new changes.
As for bringing back the home-activation option, AppleInsider believes that the reason Apple is considering to bring back this feature is because of the iPhone 3G sales being slowed down as a result of the Apple In-Store activation which requires a lot of time.
The home-activation feature basically allows an iPhone user to activate his/her contract through iTunes without need of any authentication at the Apple Store. This was a fast process compared to the current In-Store activation method but was discontinued by Apple for some reasons.
The other option that most users are looking forward to is the ability to purchase unlocked and contract-free iPhone models to be used with carriers and in countries where the iPhone is not yet officially available.
