The 3G iPhone Lands Down Under?
Late yesterday afternoon MacTalk received the above photo from a very reliable source who can not be named for obvious reasons (fear of assassination by the Apple Secret Police I presume). Word on the street is that resellers across the country have also received similar packages. As seen by the picture, it's contents are protected under NDA until Tuesday June 10 - does that date ring a bell to anyone?
Our source strongly believes that the package contains the much coveted 3G iPhone. Why is there only one and why is it here early though? Our source believes that the iPhone contained within is for promotional purposes, ie. after it's official unveiling at WWDC next week, the iPhone will go on display with a sign saying 'look how cool I am - you can buy me on this date'. That date still looks like it will be June 19, coinciding with the opening of the flagship Sydney Apple Store.
In early April, MacTalk published an exclusive story detailing Apple's plans for the iPhone in Australia and providing the arguably world first news that the iPhone would be sold without the exclusive carrier model. Despite the story being dismissed at the time, these facts have all but been confirmed by Apple themselves. This image provides yet more evidence in the case for the iPhone landing here officially very soon.
