What is this picture and why is it on my Mac?

[mrat93]

I was searching my Mac for the iPhone SDK dmg file because I never used it and I wanted to delete it. I found a file titled "iPhone.icns" in Macintosh HD>Developer>Platforms>Aspen.platform>Developer>Library>Xcode>Plug-ins>AspenSupport.xcodeplugin>Contents>Resources.

In the file was a group of icons and pictures of the iPhone, and one looked different. Anybody know what this is? Could it be the 3g iPhone? I doubt it, but I still find it interesting.

[gloss]

Matches the thinner front bezel on the most recent leak pics. That would be pretty cool.

[mrat93]

I just searched the file name in Google and it doesn't look like anybody else has posted this before.

[brn2ski00]

Holy smokes! Amazing find! I bet this is the 3G iPhone!

good work!

[Chris Bangle]

that is the best photo ive seen for months... In comparison could you upload a picture of a normal iphone graphic from the sidebar, (the pic above this one).. even from the small pics the bottom of the present iphone looks much rounder

Good idea! Let's see both of them side by side (I am at work) :D

[Auzburner]

Man this is a great find, which version of the SDK do you have?

[mrat93]

Man this is a great find, which version of the SDK do you have?

I think I just have the 1st version, I never used it.

[brn2ski00]

Post some more close up pics!

[t0mat0]

It's kinda hard to compare between the different images - what's different exactly?

[Hecklerdanny]

This is a fun and torturous time to be an Apple fan. We get little trickles of information leaked in here and there. Always lots of good rumors to check out this close to something "big" from Apple.

[heyp]

I just searched the file name in Google and it doesn't look like anybody else has posted this before.

excuse my ignorance... how does it look different?

[Chris Bangle]

the black border around the screen has the illusion of being much bigger and the sides are definatly more defined. Thanks Apple for giving us this gift of seeing what the 3g iphone looks like

[brn2ski00]

excuse my ignorance... how does it look different?

It definitely has a thinner bezel and more of a squashed look.. probably thinner too!

[mrat93]

excuse my ignorance... how does it look different?

The current iPhone looks rounder.
The top speaker looks higher.
Side buttons look a little different to me.
Chrome bezel looks narrower.

[txr0ckabilly]

how 'bout clicking that zoom button and taking another screenshot please :)

[David G.]

The current iPhone looks rounder.
The top speaker looks higher.

Chrome bezel looks narrower.

I bet Apple's going, "Oh ****." right now.

[mrat93]

Post some more close up pics!

The one I posted before was the original size. I just enlarged it.

[Auzburner]

okay I have like the 3rd or 4th version and just found it.... it's difficult to see the differences, but it seem the edges are different (very minor differences) almost as if Apple messed up the scaling of the images just for the iCons... I'm not so sure this is any type of leak....

[londondude]

I also found this after looking at the map of how to get it and to me it looks like the iphone i have now. There is the ipod and the iphone icon files.

sorry to be a party pooper.

[mrat93]

Only your first pic shows the different one.

[Chris Bangle]

theres no hold button

[Auzburner]

Only your first pic shows the different one.

Right, I simply wanted to provide all of the icons for means of comparison...

[mrat93]

Just an additional note: The ones that look the same as the current iPhone now, the buttons are backwards. Sleep/wake is on the left, ringer/volume on the right.

[gloss]

Only your first pic shows the different one.

Yeah, the first picture had a thinner bezel and buttons on the left (which also matches the recent photo leak). That one has a thicker chrome bezel and buttons on the right.

[SFStateStudent]

I'm a bit skeptical, since the iPhone looks a bit wider in comparison to the one I have in my hand; and the buttons on the left side as you are facing the iPhone, look as if they are too high and are not appropriately spaced as on v1, almost as if it were not allowing for the curve of the iPhone at that "silence button." It just doesn't look right! Nice try, but I'll wait until the ACTUAL release of v2. :eek::cool:

[Chris Bangle]

what i meant to say was... theres no ON/OFF button on the iphone 2 pic

[phinnaeus]

The fact that this is in the SDK makes me doubt even more that any of these leaked photos represent the final design of the 2nd generation iPhone.

[Auzburner]

By the way the iPod Touch icons don't have a hold button at all...

[Auzburner]

By the way the iPod Touch icons don't have a hold button at all...

Although I suppose you cannot see the hold button facing the front of a Touch as easy...

[mrat93]

By the way the iPod Touch icons don't have a hold button at all...

It's not in any of these.

[Auzburner]

Yeah the hold button on the Touch' is on the curve of the top-back portion.

[Chris Bangle]

Although I suppose you cannot see the hold button facing the front of a Touch as easy...


very true.. i hate getting my hopes up when it comes to apple rumors but this is close to all the other "spyshots" and descriptions we've had, this could be very good but it could also be bad..

But i think that these are accurate...

Just think, one day we will have an iphone that is as thin as the touch

[Auzburner]

yeah, but do you necessarily want something that thin to hold against your ear - much easier to drop a touch with that thickness, but who knows.... In the end no matter how many rumors that come up - what we have in the end is all that matters...

[Chris Bangle]

i didnt even think of that. i just hope the back isn't plastic. the back is unique and plastic will degrade it.

I really like this one. I hope that we see a 3G iPhone that looks similar to the current model.

[Auzburner]

I'm downloading the brand new version of the iPhone SDK Beta now - Let's see what's in there now...

[Auzburner]

It appears the Touch has identical differences....?

[phinnaeus]

Going with the theory that this is the 2nd generation iPhone, having a new matching touch would make sense... they could add GPS and up the storage/battery life with the new form factor.

[Auzburner]

I'm not saying this is a possible new one... I'm thinking it may be when they created the icon's is changed the 3rd image for some reason on both? I really don't know - Both COULD be new, but who knows...

[Auzburner]

iPhone Beta version 6 installed and the icons are no longer in the same location - don't know where they went...

[phinnaeus]

[snip] Never mind.

[NewSc2]

I don't know, I think somebody just didn't really bother making the iPhone icon perfect. Has anybody compared the Macbook Pro icon with an actual Macbook Pro, and etc.?

[stagi]

I bet its just an old icon.

[Mykbibby]

I hope thats not it... no front camera!

[Pippen Man]

I hope thats not it... no front camera!

The image looks just like a child of the iPod touch. Not as roundy edges, much for square like, and no chrome around the edges. After all these months, I can soon call iPhone 2.0 the son of my iPod touch! Hooray! I'm' going to be an uncle!:)

[Peace]

These are old icons and the location of the images have been relocated. I looked at them and it's just the rev. A iPhone.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

[maokh]

:rolleyes:
im sure its just an artist rendition, put into the aspect ratio and size that was specified to him/her.

LMAO how long did it take you to come up with this scheme and what were you aiming to become, some sorta rumor superstar?? In a hugely hilarious and ironic twist if you use your current iPhone to tap and enlarge the image you can CLEARLY distinguish the blurriness of the metal bezel on the right-side image --- the so-called "could-this-really-be-IT?" ultimate photo leak! And yes while it is admitted that the image was enlarged, that's the full and pathetic extent of it --- somebody's lame attempt to take a gen1 iPhone and manipulate the image to create unnecessary and unwarranted buzz within this forum! IT'S THE SAME FREAKIN' PHONE (both images), PEOPLE!! So consider yourself BUSTED, partna!!!

I am, however, awestruck at the size of your balls for tryna sneak this one pass us.

[EDIT]: Oops did I post this on the wrong user LOL? Well if I did everybody knows which image I was referring to. Btw I blame this rather embarassing screw-up on my iPhone. I use it to read and respond to this site...and it's kinda tricky to navigate around inside a 3-inch screen and still keep my latitudinal and longitudinal bearings hehe! Oh yeah and I'm still technically a macrumors newbie n tryna get a feel for the place.

[xhambonex]

really guys, its an icon, do you know how many icons are out there for iphones, ipods, etc. Somebody probably made that one and didn't really bother to make sure it was EXACTLY perfect. Its just a graphic...lets not get carried away.

LOL well this didn't take too long now did it??? This is insane lol, after what? an hour of them updating the SDK??? Seriously lol wow.

I think this is very probable for the new iPhone, it makes perfect sense and coincides with all the rumors. As for the front camera, I think it is there but will be hidden under the glass, so don't freak people! Apple may have made mistakes before, but not putting a front camera and iChat on the new 3G iPhone would be an IMMENSE MISTAKE!

Actually, I have only the 1st beta of the SDK. Another user says its also in the 3rd or 4th version too, but apparently it has been either moved or removed from the 6th beta.

[frijole]

i took the next size up of both icons, and scaled them down to match. the originals are on the left, the scaled icons are on the right.

the iPod touches line up perfectly. the spacing between the top, the screen, the button, etc. the bezel color is off a little, but that's understandable from scaling and the gradient they put on there.

however, the alignment of the phone elements do not. the spacing from the top to the speaker is different, the button is a different size, etc, and the bezel is more substantially different in shape and color.

[MacFly123]

Oooohh. Taking that into account I don't know how valid this is then, HOWEVER, I think that is really what the new one is going to look like anyway pretty much.

[Rocketman]

I think there is a dedicated team of two guys at Apple monitoring forums for when Easter Eggs are discovered.

The good news is they are laughing their a$$ off at us for not discovering 2-3 things yet.

The bad news is they cannot go to the tavern until we DO find them. :)

[ArtOfWarfare]

As for the front camera, I think it is there but will be hidden under the glass, so don't freak people!

Dope-slap the questioners. It's the obvious answer. Just like the camera that I know is top and center of my iMac is there even if I can't see it.

Damn... Apple's great at hiding cameras...

...

the CIA should hire some Apple engineers to design hidden cameras.

[viggen61]

It's just a smaller version of the same icon. Apple pays people to touch up these icons to that they look good at all resolutions. The "thicker" sides on the screen are there just so they look good when you're displaying that 128x128 icon.

I mean, seriously, if that is the "new" iPhone, then icon 5 - the 16x16 one just has to be the iPhone Nano... :D

Oh - and in SDK beta 5 the file is now iPhoneOS.icns.

[iJesus]

Screenshot from Beta 6:

[bucky]

I agree that this is not an image of the new iphone. It looks to me like it is just a photoshop error of somebody over at apple while making the icon. I work in the advertising business and product shots are heavily manipulated in photoshop before going to the web. The images are similar enough that it is probably the current iphone.... at least this gives me something to read while waiting for details on the real phone :)

[lifeinhd]

Wow, I love the radical new design.

[phinnaeus]

Wow, I love the radical new design.

I lol'd.

[jhamerphoto]

who actually cares what it looks like?
we all know it's going to be almost identical to the new iPhone.
Apple only completely reinvents an image of something once it's been updated several times, and the iPhone is yet to do that.
even look at how long the classic iPod look has lasted. sure it go thinner etc, but that's just from new hardware.
in all actuality, iPods only change now to make current owners want a new one, seeing as almost everyone has one.
not everyone has an iPhone, so they'll still ride along the current iconic iPhone.

why fix it if <s>it aint broke</s> it's an apple product? :p

EDIT: apparently I can't strikethrough...and i meant the current iPhone in the second line... -_- bed time, i guess.

[chuckles:)]

Apple may have made mistakes before, but not putting a front camera and iChat on the new 3G iPhone would be an IMMENSE MISTAKE!

I don't think it would be a mistake at all. I've seen video conferencing on cellphones before, and its quite useless. Mobile phones are used primarily in places where you need your eyes to be focused on something other that the screen, while driving, walking or working for example. In any of these situation, it just doesn't make sense. As well, video chat on a phone means that you have to hold the phone out in front of your face to talk. This has several negative effects. It makes you look funny to anyone who sees you. The sound is worse through the speakerphone. The mic will pick up background noise. And if you have to talk for a prolonged amount of time, your arm would get tired. Video chat works great on computers, but there are just too many obstacles for it to work on mobiles.

by the way, i think the icon is just some bad image work, but the 3G iphone probably wont deviate too far from the current design, so it could be close to what we'll see.

See, what you're forgetting is the case manufacturer specs that have leaked. The cases would still have to leave the camera exposed, so if they're also real, then the camera would have to be in the exposed slot in the case designs.

in regards to the front facing camera (under the glass), don't forget Apple had a patent a few years ago that was a camera made out of many sensors placed between the pixels using software to combine all the images into one large image! How about them Apples!? :apple:

I think Apple will need to change the design quite a bit, as most non technologically aware consumers will just think it's the same iPhone and not get the new one if they have the 1G.
I personally couldn't care less, each time I get my iPhone out to use it I just admire it's design and build quality, no other phone I've had got me doing that.

Chrisrokc, I do believe your mistaken- the "left original iPhone" depicts the on/off/hold button on the left side of the unit (I even looked at it again. The left picture of the mold is the back side, with the button above the camera- hmm, of we take the case designs as is- its safe to say pretty much same design, subtle differences but not enough to spend a day on. But having touch sensors for volume would be cool- limiting though, accidental volume changes would be out of control.

I'll just stick with my iPhone for now. Who knows. Only a week and a half!!!

[MacFly123]

Well I basically disagree with everything you said.

Here is the thing the iPhone really is a computer. You have seen lots of crappy video chatting on phones, yes, BUT NOT APPLE STYLE! I'm not saying every call iPhone owners made would be iChat video, it wouldn't replace regular calling, it would be an addition to be used when you like just like on your computer.

Guess we'll see who is right in 10 days! ;)

[Mikey B]

I highly doubt that icon is the new iphone. Apple wouldn't let that slip through their fingers. It would only be in the SDK if it was restricted to the folks enrolled in the paid developers program, if at all. 98% of Apple Inc. has no idea what the iPhone looks like and there's just no way they would make that slip.

Anyway, I'm in the camp that the new phone is not going to deviate much from the first. The iPhone is an iconic device that is instantly recognized and is very symbolic of the direction Apple is heading in. They aren't going to make dramatic changes yet. Someone used the Nano as an example but I feel that was misguided. It was the 3rd gen, first of all, and the form changed because the device itself was radically changed- video. That was a bigger change to that form-factor than 3G or the rumored upgrades. It went from an audio device to one that played videos, something that simply wouldn't have worked in the original design.

Anything can happen of course, but I agree with the if it ain't broke don't fix it sentiment. Apple sticks with a design most of the time until it has to change it, either from dramatic changes in feature-sets, technology, or market factors. I dont think those requisites are being met and I think they aren't going to deviate much from the present design.

[bobertoq]

The current iPhone looks rounder.
The top speaker looks higher.
Side buttons look a little different to me.
Chrome bezel looks narrower.AWWWW man! Your right! I hate the chrome border....

Anyways, exciting news, nice find!

I agree. Apple spent tons of time working on the design for the iPhone when it first came out-- Steve said so during the keynote. It seems unlikely they would change the design now, unless they need more space for 3G or something.

I'll remember to read the date next time! :p Haha!
