AT&T getting SIX new iPhone models?

[Muad'Dib]

Ok, sorry but get ready for more speculation. Perhaps this backs up a theoritical 3 iPhone 4S models and 3 iPhone 5 models? Sounds like too many but I haven't had my coffee. You guys let me know what you think the 6 models might be.

our source has confirmed that AT&T’s internal inventory system now lists six “new product” SKU placeholders as of this morning.

lolololol

I love you people.

 

[profets]

It could be 2x iPhone 4 (black and white) and 4x iPhone 5 (2x black and 2x white, 2 of each for two different storage sizes). Probably the most logical guess going by history anyway.

iPhone 5: White 16gb
iPhone 5: White 32gb
iPhone 5: Black 16gb
iPhone 5: Black 32gb

iPhone 4s: White 8gb
iPhone 4s: Black 8gb

Doesn't seem too irrational. As someone in the article stated:

•2 iPhone 4S black and white 8GB
•2 iPhone 5 black and white 16GB
•2 iPhone 5 black and white 32GB

 

[Muad'Dib]

Duh...totally forgot black and white.

Going for coffee now.

----------

iPhone 5: White 16gb
iPhone 5: White 32gb
iPhone 5: Black 16gb
iPhone 5: Black 32gb

iPhone 4s: White 4gb
iPhone 4s: Black 8gb

You lost me @ the 4GB iPhone 4S

 

[Peace]

Have you totally forgot BGR has been batting .125 lately ?

 

[Stealthipad]

iPhone 5: White 16gb
iPhone 5: White 32gb
iPhone 5: Black 16gb
iPhone 5: Black 32gb

iPhone 4s: White 4gb
iPhone 4s: Black 8gb

Memory is so cheap Apple needs to just make them all 32gb!

 

[Krandor]

i
iPhone 4s: White 4gb
iPhone 4s: Black 8gb

So you only get 4gb if you get a white, but 8 if you get a black?

 

[Vegastouch]

True but why should they do that when they can get you to pay $100 more to get a 32 GB instead of 16? If there were a microcard slot you could upgrade it yourself with a 32gb card for only $45 to $49.

AT&T is racist.

With the new iCloud, I don't think they're as inclined to worry about on-device storage.

Could also be:

• 2 iPhone 4 8GB (White, Black)
• 2 iPhone 4S 16GB (White, Black)
• 2 iPhone 4S 32GB (White, Black)

That's what Apple did last year with the 3GS and iP4

 

[WeegieMac]

Or, how about the more simple plan of:

iPhone 5 16/32GB black.
iPhone 5 16/32GB white.
iPhone 4 8GB black & white.

 

[SooneratND]

Could also be:

• 2 iPhone 4 8GB (White, Black)
• 2 iPhone 4S 16GB (White, Black)
• 2 iPhone 4S 32GB (White, Black)

That's what Apple did last year with the 3GS and iP4

The 4 already has a listing in the system and wouldn't need a placeholder. You need six unannounced new configurations to make the numbers work. I gotta think its two new models with that many placeholders.

The new 8GB 4s' that are expected to come out should get a new place holder, as they have a new SKU.

•2 iPhone 4S black and white 8GB
•2 iPhone 5 black and white 16GB
•2 iPhone 5 black and white 32GB

Sounds like this to me. The only thing that seems to make sense.
We won't know until next Tuesday so be patient people.

Only on days when I'm posting here with no sleep! Fixed. 8GB for all 4s.

 

[aohus]

2x iPhone nano (iPhone 4S) - 8GB (black and white)
2x iPhone 5 - 16GB (black and white)
2x iPhone 5 - 32GB (black and white)

 

[jfrancis04]

Aren't the colors listed as separate SKUs?

16gb white iPhone 5
32gb white iPhone 5
16gb black iPhone 5
32gb black iPhone 5
8gb white iPhone 4
8th black iPhone 4

6 new SKUs total.

 

[cambookpro]

Of course, could also be this:

iPhone 5 16GB Black
iPhone 5 32GB Black
iPhone 5 64GB Black
iPhone 5 16GB White
iPhone 5 32GB White
iPhone 5 64GB White

Here's hoping...

Actually there is no iP4 8gb. Hence the new listing.

 

[batting1000]

The article clearly states

Our source, who has witnessed several iPhone launches at AT&T, has indicated that these entries are most likely holding space for new iPhone models and/or unannounced iPhone-related Apple accessories.

They never said all six placeholders were for new devices.

 

[Mr.C]

Of course, could also be this:

iPhone 5 16GB Black
iPhone 5 32GB Black
iPhone 5 64GB Black
iPhone 5 16GB White
iPhone 5 32GB White
iPhone 5 64GB White

Here's hoping...

I would be very surprised if it was that combination. It's more likely they will have a budget 8GB iPhone 4 or 4S as well as 16GB and 32GB black and White models of the iPhone 5.
