Apple typically announces products on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, not Mondays.

Cool, now where is the phone buddies?

Gizmodo claims that the iPhone will be announced on Monday.

Quote:

Gizmodo Knows: iPhone Will Be Announced On Monday
I guarantee it. It isn't what I expected at all. And I've already said too much. –Brian Lam

No further information is provided, but there is a clear implication that the iPhone is coming this Monday (December 18th).

Brian Lam is a an editor for Gizmodo and former assistant editor for Wired magazine. While such a short unqualified blurb would not usually get much credence, Gizmodo is a relatively well established gadget blog.

Despite this apparent confidence in this report, Gizmodo has no prior record of accurate rumors. Indeed, also working against Gizmodo is a previous teaser post also made by Brian Lam that implied that they had a scoop on an upcoming Apple product. This prompted speculation and subsequent disappointment with the announcement was about Tivo 3.0 and not an Apple product.

The monday before Xmas??? When you could just wait for MWSF?

I say no. Still, I wonder.

arn · Dec 14, 2006, 09:54 PM

We'll see...

obviously, if this was posted on "Joe's Blog", it wouldn't get any credence at all.

Gizmodo has some "rep" to lose if they are wrong.

The Monday before Christmas sure would generate a lot of extra revenue! Maybe they need to off set the downward spiral of iTunes? Just kidding about iTunes.

Yeah, that's what would make me give credit to this. Apple does get as much revenue with their keynote after Christmas. Hopefully this'll be a nice surprise.

CrackedButter · Dec 14, 2006, 09:57 PM

As far as I'm concerned, it'll happen when it happens, I'm in no rush. I'm becoming bored of the same rumours every year. I'll just wait till MacWorld.

Defensive move, maybe? I mean, maybe apple wants to supress sales of possible competitors. Maybe the phone won't actually be out until next year, but Apple wants to *announce* it now, so that people will keep their cash and hold out for an iPhone.

This might be a good reason but I still don't think it is enough to explain why not announce it at MCSW instead. Besides, what does "announce" exactly mean? just saying "we will release an iPhone in January"?

Peace · 10:01 PM

Folks are getting bamboozled here!!

All he says is "Released on Monday"..That could be any Monday.Jan 15th is Monday also.

But it does coincide with the discovery of the answering machine in Leopard.

Maybe the "basic" iPhone is just an iPod add-on that connects to your iPod, just like the iPod Radio...

lostngone · Dec 15, 2006, 03:16 AM

The iPhone will be a simple USB telephony device that plugs into the Mac and uses an upgraded version of iChat to call other computers or land lines. Basically Apple's version of Skype. Who knows maybe Apple won't release the hardware device and only release the software that will be called "iPhone".
