But it appears Apple is planning to give financially challenged punters the chance to get on board with the iPhone 3GS, with new leaks showing an 8GB version is on the way. Read on to find out when it’s likely to land.
The 8GB iPhone 3GS is on the way. The sneaky chaps at Boy Genius Report have snapped pics of Canadian operator Rogers’ internal memos, which claim that the the “8GB iPhone is transitioning to 3GS.”

O2 iPhone exclusivity ending 9 October?
It seems likely that the 8GB iPhone 3GS will be announced alongside the new iPod touch and possibly an iProd Apple tablet at September’s annual iPod event. What that means for T–Mobile and Orange’s plans to sell the iPhone 3G here in Blighty remains to be seen.
