Why a fake?

- Orange, not grey Apple logo
- Letter starts higher on the page than the logo
- Right margin is too near the edge of the page (though that could be image cropping)
- Address extends beyond the footer horizontal line
- The signature spills over into the footer
- Why repeat the address in the signature?
- Also WHY would it be addressed "To Whom it May Concern"??? Gimme a break!! Apple doesn't know who they're dealing with at the FCC???

If this is real, Steve Jobs will be having kittens on its appalling layout.



Apple does use coloured logos on their letters.

I got one, not even a year ago, with a pure red Apple logo.
So they still use the coloured logos
 
I heard that Cingular did not get working prototypes 'till just a few weeks before it was announced an MacWorld San Francisco (source KNX-1070 radio Los Angeles)... Cingular, not Apple or the FCC, appears to be the hold up...
 
Calm down, guys. This letter is real, but it's for the new AirPort Extreme base-station. If you look at the FCC report you can see that the confidentiality letter is real and that this is simply for "an 802.11b/g /n Access Point"

Sorry to burst your bubbles
 
Engadget has discovered through phonescoop that this letter is a hoax

From Engadget :

Sorry everybody, we hate to be the bearers of bad news for you iPhone obsessives, but that iPhone FCC letter dating it at June 15th? It was a hoax. Our eagle-eyed friends over at Phone Scoop noted that the confidentiality agreement document is, in actuality, photoshopped. We looked into the original filing for that new Airport Extreme base station (FCC BCGA1143), which expired January 15th (days after the Airport device was announced), and is so far as we can tell they're wholly identical (save a bit of photo manipulation). That confidentiality agreement outlines a device for use on all the right frequencies for an 802.11a/b/g/n device (5180 - 5240MHz, 5190 - 5230MHz, 5745 - 5825MHz, 5755 - 5795MHz, 2412 - 2462MHz, 2422 - 2452MHz), too, so there's not a whole lot of doubt left. So, to everyone who thought they'd be getting their iPhone this June: sorry, we're all still in the dark on when Apple's going to launch. Click on for a bigger shots of the hoax FCC doc.
