iPhone Extreme?

firstapple · Oct 2, 2007, 11:47 AM

Anyone read this one yet this morning? Sounds interesting, but man would I be pissed if they came out with an iPhone Extreme... Would like to hear some comments on this...

I did not know that there was anything left to get pissed at Apple about. Thought it had all been covered.

Some believe it's a poor "cut and paste" job where Airport (Extreme) was copied and renamed iPhone.

However, perhaps Apple will be releasing an iPhone with 802.11n support.

And Apple doesn't care one bit about pissing you off because they know you'll buy it anyway.

badtzmaru · Oct 2, 2007, 12:10 PM

why would you be pissed when you dont even know what it is or even if its real?

Sobe · Oct 2, 2007, 12:47 PM

if you stare are the fungus growing on your refrigerator door long enough, it'll start to look like Elvis' head.

Why do people get pissed? I'm psyched...a newer, faster iPhone soon? Sweet, sign me up.

If you want to live on the bleeding edge you need a strong stomach and a healthy bank account.

iPhoneBugList notes that they spotted an unusual mistake in Apple's website source code.

One of the HTML product fields lists "iPhone Extreme" as the product name.

Obviously, there is no "iPhone Extreme" that has yet been announced, and so, of course, people are speculating what this could mean (if anything).

I'd get it if it had GPS, 16GB and 3G

"- Extreme" isn't an Apple thing, is it?

"Airport Extreme" edit: ahhhh sananda u beat me to it

Like AppleInsider said, I'm chalking this one up to user error in the site coding, not something that will come. I mean, come on, iPhone Extreme just sounds LAME.

I would gladly second that!!!

pacohaas · Oct 2, 2007, 03:20 PM

Bring on the Extreme and Nano. I'm still happy with my "regular" iPhone. If the Extreme version is twice as powerful with twice the features for half the price, I'll buy it too, not complain that apple is constantly innovating.

MacsAttack · Oct 2, 2007, 03:20 PM

Apparently a "cut-n-paste" error.

However, I would not be surprised to see a 16GB iPhone roll out in the new year (just to catch all the suckers who pony up for one in the run-up to Christmas - standard Apple marketing strategy)

redAPPLE · Oct 2, 2007, 03:40 PM

hey, if that is the OPEN iPhone.... call it zune and i will buy it...

chr1s60 · Oct 2, 2007, 03:46 PM

I am gonna guess that this was just an error. I don't see why they would call something iPhone Extreme in the first place and second, I think it is still too early for another version of the iPhone. I do believe we will see a 16GB iPhone at MacWorld, but it will still be called iPhone, not anything new.

andiwm2003 · Oct 2, 2007, 03:53 PM

well,

size of ipod touch,
16GB or more
GPS or equivalent
3G
all features work worldwide
roaming fee in Europe is acceptable (<8 cents per minute, web unlimited)
pdf viewer that allows downloads from mac and web and idisk
note/text editor sync to .mac and mac at home
ical editable and sync's to .mac and mac at home
adressbook editable and sync's to .mac and mac at home
$399 (o.k. $499)

and i'll get one.

but there are a few things on the list that are highly unlikely.

Whatever the case, they've fixed it now. It doesn't say that anymore...

Can't you already add docs in PDF format to iPhoto and view them on the iPhone?

What does it say now? Also doesn't apple always try and hide the things that are true. If they just left it everyone WOULD think its just a coding error and move on with their lives.

the iphoto route is a bit tedious and i can't download pdf's from the webor idisk and read them offline later.

well, if ical and adressbook are fully editable and sync back to my mac than i'm closer to an iphone than i thought. but i think if you are away from your mac you can only see subscribed ical calenders via .mac and those are not editable. the calendars that you synce back home might be outdated. so it's not a fully web based calendar i guess. same for adressbook. is that correct?

How about a bleeding stomach and an unhealthy bank account? That'd cover me...

Now it just says "iPhone"... They're pretty good about fixing any mistakes, accidental or not.
