Iphones sold tomorrow!! Read!

[SotSot]

Hey ya'll, whats up?
This is my first post here, and if I am correct (and I am), the iphones will be available tomorrow.

How do you know this, you ask? I work for Apple, with the iPhone division. I like my job, I'm glad this is somewhat anonymous so I don't lose it. Screw the NDA.

Anyhow, I won't give out the info I know about the features of it, I don't want to give away the big stuff (cause its sweet and you can just be surprised), but the basic ideas you have for it are right on.

I must admit that I don't know the EXACT details, but I do know that Jobs will say something kick ass about how we can go buy the new 3G iphone right away. I'll be at my local Apple store tomorrow, you can bet on it.

Anyhow, this is the information I have, from 5 different respectable, high up Apple and AT&T sources. I hope they're right, or I'll look like a huge ass. If i'm right though, I get major credibility. So..we'll see

Later.

That is obviously not true. Thread being deleted in 3.2.1...

[dibara2003]

^^^ awww... you beat me to it

not these threads again. and if you do work for apple, you don't now.

[rolex54]

sure...

I will love you if your right, I am dyeing with this stupid crappy razor

[Chax]

Obvious troll is obvious.

*reported*

[SotSot]

That is obviously not true. Thread being deleted in 3.2.1...

It honestly is true. I'd be happy to prove it to you. I am new here, but I just became an employee a month ago. I really hope you don't delete it, it's true.

If it isn't, I'll leave Macrumors after tomorrow. If it is, i expect an apology.

If it is true, Steve Jobs is going to be firing everyone in the iPhone division that has only been an employee for a month. :rolleyes:

I really, really want to believe you.
UGH this anticipation is killing me ;D

Is there a way you can prove it?!?! I would love to know for sure!

I should have thought that through. I'm pretty safe though. I can't give out more info about where exactly I work, or I WOULD get fired. And honestly there is a small chance i could be wrong, but a very close friend/source of mine is a manager at an apple store, and..just saying.

Although if I get in trouble for this, this is all just a "rumor", and "i know nothing". There I covered my ass. But for real, it'll be out tomorrow and I'm pumped.

[adamerr]

i agree with mtfield, you must understand it is hard to believe such an audacious claim with no credible evidence to back it up.

[citron230]

uh huh

[SotSot]

Is there a way you can prove it?!?! I would love to know for sure!

Honestly, I can't prove that they will sell it tomorrow for sure. I COULD prove that I am a legit apple employee however. if there are pms on here (i'm new, so i'll have to check), pm me and i'll prove that i'm an employee at least. if you want. if not, just wait till tomorrow haha

[ThanatosId]

Why would you say that you know because you "work for the iPhone division", and then say you know because of reputable sources. If you are going to try a lie, at least get your story straight.

By the way... Apple can find out who you are on this site... and they WILL fire you if they do! (if you actually worked for Apple...which you don't.)

[SotSot]

i agree with mtfield, you must understand it is hard to believe such an audacious claim with no credible evidence to back it up.

Of course I do. I'm not a tool. I wouldn't believe it if I were you, either. Which is why I'm so pumped to be the guy with the info for once.

Ok i'm shutting up for awhile now. Post away, and I'll respond if necessary.

[shrtmkr]

I saw the quantas warehouse that was filled with iphone boxes ( brown mid sized - 20 iphones inside the box) on friday that were being loaded to fed-ex trucks. I believe they will arrive at the stores tomorrow morning.
Whether his source is reliable or not I have a huge feeling that it will be available after 6 pm in all apple stores.

I hope we can get the subsidized AT&T iphones tomorrow as well.
Or I have to wait a couple of more days to save $200 bucks. (I am on AT&T but have to renew the contract, I think thats not possible thru Itunes.)

[SotSot]

Alright then. 2 things (this will be my last post)

1. I have been working there a month. Do you really think Jobs just comes up and tells me? Hell now. I don't work directly at the main apple site, i work FOR apple.

ALso..if they really can find out who I am (i dont want to take that chance)..I am going to be deleting my account and this thread in the next 5 min. Hope my info helps, ya'll.

[rolex54]

I am gonna believe you... Because I want you to be right

[adamerr]

delete your account?
you do know that computers log information dont you?
ah well.
good luck with that.

[weeman]

I saw the quantas warehouse that was filled with iphone boxes ( brown mid sized - 20 iphones inside the box)

Did I miss the part where you mention how you know what is in these brown boxes?

[magicdanw]

I must admit that I don't know the EXACT details, but I do know that Jobs will say something kick ass about how we can go buy the new 3G iphone right away. I'll be at my local Apple store tomorrow, you can bet on it.

Anyhow, this is the information I have, from 5 different respectable, high up Apple and AT&T sources. I hope they're right, or I'll look like a huge ass. If i'm right though, I get major credibility. So..we'll seeI'm new here, so pardon me if I'm incorrect, but this doesn't sound like such an outrageous claim at all. The question - whether the iPhones will be available tomorrow, can go one of two ways, so you have a 50-50 chance of being right. And it's not as if you're picking a choice that is unlikely for you to know unless you are an Apple employee. Statistically, 50% of people should be able to come to your conclusion by flipping a coin! Now, if you were to say that you used your insider knowledge to find out early that tomorrow's announcement will be that the iPhone is being abandoned in favor of their new line, the iNugget, which is a joint venture with McDonalds to sell a phone/mp3 player that can also order McDonalds delivered to your house, I would say that that is an unlikely outcome, and if you are correct tomorrow, you should be given props for going out on a limb and being correct. However, since you are taking no risk with this discussion, I don't see why anyone cares at all.

[adamerr]

Did I miss the part where you mention how you know what is in these brown boxes?

shrtmkr did say he saw the warehouse, did you go inside it, or are you just speculating?

[shrtmkr]

Did I miss the part where you mention how you know what is in these brown boxes?

I saw the exact sized boxes at the apple store at the back that were containing 20 phones per box.

They are absolutely the same ones.


EDIT: NO i did not got into the warehouse, The boxes were sitting at the parking lot with other products like iMacs. Fences and security cameras as well as guards on their site between me and the freight of course they just don't sit there

[boss1]

This thread is now officially about cherry pie!*


I like mine served cool with whip cream rather than warm from out of the oven.









* while thread remains open. some restrictions may apply . limited while supplies last. only one post per member will be taken seriously.

Come back SotSot! Come back! LOL :p

OOHH MAN...i hope your right...I sold my iPhone and I feel so naked without it.

[sr5878]

i'd take back everything bad i've ever said about apple and steve jobs if the iphone came out tomorrow for purchase.

too bad i just know it isn't going to happen...

[adamerr]

i'd take back everything bad i've ever said about apple and steve jobs if the iphone came out tomorrow for purchase.

you will take back everything?
even if the iPhone isnt 3G?

[sr5878]

you will take back everything?
even if the iPhone isnt 3G?

that's a silly hypothetical.

[Chappers]

I don't think Apple can wait to long for this to hit the shelves - the iPhone has been unavailable for some time now. Last time they announced it early to get the hype going, but this time ........... well we will see later today.

[Corbet]

This guy is the real deal.

[kidwithdimples]

LMAO

the OP is fraduin'

[SotSot]

Come back SotSot! Come back! LOL :p

i'm back. not deleting it. screw it. lol.

[SleepingSicknes]

They wouldn't pull them off the store for a month or so to keep holding off for the new phone.

[Cassie]

It honestly is true. I'd be happy to prove it to you. I am new here, but I just became an employee a month ago. I really hope you don't delete it, it's true.

If it isn't, I'll leave Macrumors after tomorrow. If it is, i expect an apology.

Well sir, I'm bookmarking this thread and if what you say is true, I'll personally issue an apology for you.:)

[Jblack4083]

Who knows, they're going to get a shipment tomorrow between 10 and 11 and they don't know what it is. I called 5th ave. Someone call in and ask if there are iPhones in stock. Then ask when they will be. They'll tell you the same thing.

[SotSot]

Well sir, I'm bookmarking this thread and if what you say is true, I'll personally issue an apology for you.:)



Well I hope so, because I have a thing for girls that are tech savvy haha

I won't be able to respond until after 10:30 pm because i'll be at my job. the apple one. where i hopefully wont get fired:)

[SleepingSicknes]

I believe you.

[adamerr]

well ,let's hope you wont get fired.
and if the 5th Avenue stuff is correct.
a new iPhone will be right around the corner.

[Chaszmyr]

Well I hope so, because I have a thing for girls that are tech savvy haha

She's 15, and if you really do work for Apple in a position that would give you any knowledge about forthcoming products, that would almost certainly be too young for you!

[SotSot]

She's 15, and if you really do work for Apple in a position that would give you any knowledge about forthcoming products, that would almost certainly be too young for you!



I was not aware. Girls of AGE I meant. lol. i'm goin to bed. i'll talk to you ya'll tomorrow night and we'll see if my info was correct:) night.

[Jblack4083]

well ,let's hope you wont get fired.
and if the 5th Avenue stuff is correct.
a new iPhone will be right around the corner.

You never know though, it could just be a regular shipment as they say they get them twice a week. The only thing that stuck out to me was the time, and also the fact that he didn't know.

[sfoalex]

What people will do to get attention.

Yeah, I'm an Apple employee too. And em, yeah... Tomorrow da stuff is coming out. 2.0 is delayed. There will be an interim release to support the new iPhone that is indeed releasing tomorrow. The interim release is 1.1.5. We at Apple are also going to make the beta of 2.0 available to all. iTunes 8.0 will be releasing as well.

Gosh, this making educated guesses is totally fun. Oh I mean, not a guess, cause I am an employee of Apple. Uh huh, it's true.

Anyone can make these claims. Anyone would decide that they have a 50/50 chance of being right. Anyone who didn't get enough attention from mom might think this is cool.

Okay guy, if you didn't already know it, and it sounds like you don't, the forum is the least secure way to report such a thing. Your IP address is logged, and that tells us everything right down to the ISP you're using, the general area of the IP address, since they are regional for your information. So please, pull your own chain...

This is a rumors page. anything that i post on here is strictly that, so I am in no way legally in trouble. Wow. i'm done with this board. too much hostility. i thought this would be fun. its not. goodnight.

you are right anyone can make the claims.
but its fun believing in them, just for the hell of it...

and i think most people know that a) anyone can say anything on the net and b) IP addresses are logged.

funnily enough, we all have computers :p

[dibara2003]

I COULD prove that I am a legit apple employee however. if there are pms on here (i'm new, so i'll have to check), pm me and i'll prove that i'm an employee at least. if you want. if not, just wait till tomorrow haha
sure, i'll bite. pm me. (just click on my user name and click appropriate button).

[mmoosa]

i kinda think he's telling the truth because if you look at the big picture, apple would want to get people buying the new phones as soon as possible mainly because some people are just too impatient and/or are forced into buying another fone and apple are making a huge loss per day that goes by with no iphones on shelves.

[adamerr]

Yeah.
PM me as well.
i'd like to see your 'proof'

[sfoalex]

i seriously hope that wasn't his real response to you...

What possible way could there be for him to prove he works there? Show an ID over the internet? That merely means he has someone's ID. The reality is that this is a childish stunt.

Alex

[mmoosa]

we can't handle the pressure:p

haha i can see that;) but we still have 11 hrs left and thats only until the begining of the keynote, i plan on waiting for the keynote stream/podcast, hope i can cope without sneeking onto macrumors watchin the news.

[sfoalex]

as much as i dont want to believe,
give the guy a break, i think he'll be waiting for an apology if he's right, so don't dig too big a hole.:D

If he's right it's merely a case of every broken clock being right twice a day.

So if 1.1.5 and a beta offer of 2.0 releases tomorrow you'll all be wondering if I work for Apple cause I guessed correctly? Come on...

Alex

idk.. that's why i figured i'd bite... i still haven't received a pm back anyways

[sfoalex]

idk.. that's why i figured i'd bite... i still haven't received a pm back anyways

He was about to send you the big proof but then these two big goons with Apple logos showed up at his front door and made him say this is all made up. But secretly, ssshhhhhh..... It's all true!

pinky swear.

[Willis]

pointless thread starter... pointless thread.

as people have already said, if you work for Apple directly, you aren't permitted to post on these forums.

but that doesn't matter because the OP is full of the brown stuff.

well not really, i just think, be less hostile is all:)

[sfoalex]

well not really, i just think, be less hostile is all:)

I am not trying to be hostile. I am merely saying, "oh come on". That's all. Seems to me some people, not necessarily you, are too easily offended or something. It's like any mild rise in written communication is dealt with men in white coats saying calm down in a smooth and calm voice.

If the forum is that overly sensitive, then ban away.

[sjslamg]

There's always a chance of someone who knows information such as this not being able to hold it in and expose it to forums like these.

Welcome it, that's what this forum seems to be all about, and we'll all see if he's right or wrong. :apple:

[Gubbert]

I love this forum for this reason alone. The rumors are fun but wow, just reading responses to the posts make me forget about blowing out my knee today. Sweet deal, i hope this is true, because State College PA is getting hit by me tomorrow then.

[adamerr]

not hold it in?
why dont they just tell us everything.

like "carenstation" (if anyone was on yesterday), the person onl.y gave us snippets of it.

Credulous.

Guessing correctly doesn't make him truthful.

Agreed Alex. Like he said himself, 50/50 chance of making himself a saint for a guess.

[sfoalex]

lol, no, i didnt mean it to you, i was explaing what i meant by my previous post, so so sorry if it sounded like i targeted you.:):):):)

No apology needed. I'm okay with user comments good and bad.

[adamerr]

Guessing correctly doesn't make him truthful.

that's exactly right.
and if he has gotten it off other sites, it means the other umpteen people viewing it would have seen it as well.
meaning that a lot of others would be right as well

[sjslamg]

Credulous.

Guessing correctly doesn't make him truthful.

I never stated whether or not he was truthful, just that it's possible. Why make a mess of it and not just humor him? :apple:

I was simply stating that rather than taking the route of every other thread, why not just play along for the hell of it. Not to mention, it wasn't directed squarely at you -- it was at the entire forum. Sit back down.

[koobcamuk]

^^^ awww... you beat me to it

not these threads again. and if you do work for apple, you don't now.

If (s)he works for Apple, I am moving to Linux. :mad:

[moveteam]

Oh crap I don't want to make a new thread or a big deal out of this, but I had a dream which claimed the iPhone would be available tomorrow in some countries and Scandinavia (except Finland), guys my dreams are nearly always very credible. Mark my words, the iPhone will be available in many countries except Finland (because Nokia paid Apple out)

Haha Finland; Suomi on omistuksessa. Olen pahoillani.

[mmoosa]

are you guys gonna be like me sitting on this forum till steve pops his hed into a black turtle neck;)

[jmpmntwnty3]

I'll be glad when that damned keynote is over with so we can quit it with all of this speculation BS.

[Chappers]

Will you be my friend??? :D

I suspect you are only after my lack of knowledge of the iPhone ;)

The iPhone 3G may well be available immediately but that doesn't mean the thread starter was telling the truth.

And there was me thinking this thread would be dead by now.

[CKtoph]

The hilariousness of this thread is that if by chance, and I mean by total 100% luck of the Irish, pull a rabbit out of your hat, chance, the OP's right... he's going to be right on the board screaming "TOLD YA SO! JEA I WORK FOR TEH APPLE CO. I DA MAN!"

I would truly hope to think that Apple's hiring policy at the corporate level is at a slightly higher standard than what this OP is bringing to us mere hours from the keynote.

Anyway, I think we can safely assume that the iPhone will be available a week from now when those of us who have actually been reading know that AT&T has blacked out vacation time for it's retail workers for "an exciting new promotion." HMMMMM, I wonder what that could be?

Apple would probably have their employees swear an owth of secrecy or whatever to prevent this.
