Don’t Forget History: Original iPhone & TV Out

There has been a lot of buzz about HD and iPhone lately. I’m sure you’ve heard something about that by now.

But, let’s take a look at history for a second first, just in case the crowds at Moscone West decide revolt if Apple doesn’t announce iPhone HD at WWDC.

When the original iPhone came out, Apple categorically denied that it was even capable of TV Out. Time and time again, Apple Media Relations clearly stated that the iPhone lacked the hardware to output video.

Then iPhone OS 2.0 came out, along with 480i (SDTV) video output on each and every iPhone and iPod Touch. iPod touch 2G then went 480p at the next revision.

Will Apple announce iPhone HD at WWDC? I have no idea. I do know that you shouldn’t shoot the messenger if they don’t.
