AT&T Webpage Leaks Black iPhone?

i for one am very curious to see if this actually happens. I think though, that we will work ourselves into a frenzy, and then get disappointed when it doesnt meet our expectations. That being said, i love this, it actually excites me, so, bring on the disappointment! :D
jk, i just think it is funny that we get all worked up over this stuff (i do it a lot), so, anyways, I'm done know...

It's a great idea if you are up for the task :). Just have to swap out the GSM module for a CDMA/EV-DO module, then reprogram the firmware with the SDK from Qualcomm to connect up to Verizon's network and then write the OSX drivers for the CDMA module. Maybe Apple has a large part of the radio module code abstracted away just in case they decided to make a CDMA/Wimax iPhone. Anyone have advanced knowledge of the iPhone underpinnings? Anyways, if you get it done, you HAVE TO SELL A CONVERSION KIT! hahah... we all wish, right?

I'm up for it. I have coded more complicated things in the past anyway. I can do that in about 5 minutes ez..... :D
 
perhaps the black iPhone will be similiar to the MB vs MBP. a cheaper alternative to a higher end product. that would be my guess since they want this device in the hands of the masses. although imo having more providers will do that. at&t only is not going to cut it. i for one would be more than happy to buy an iPhone through my current provider, but i'm not willing to switch simply to get an iPhone.
 
Interesting that the links that were set up to show whether Apple retail stores had iPhones in stock are now showing whether MacBook Airs are in stock, instead. I'm assuming that either this is an error in coding, or there are simply no iPhones available at any Apple stores, which would indicate that an announcement of an upgrade is likely to come very soon. If you have nothing to sell and have given no indication that you will have something to sell, then consumers will take their business somewhere else. And you know that Apple doesn't want them to do that. Expect availability of iPhones or an announcement about a new model very soon, probably some time this week.
 
The UK Apple store has now got the price missing on the iPhone - there's something going on.
 
AT&T's site has a 4GB iPhone option on their site right now for existing users:

Well... I'm in Denmark and here its 7 am now... just woke up and was dissapointed... but if it is night in the states then I'LL have to wait till tonight.. damn! :)

Nice. Are you from Denmark? are you Danish? I'm interested because although I'm an American (and born here), that is where my ancestry traces back to. I want to visit in the next few years and track down my roots in "Zealand". Actually, we'll see how this presidential election turns out... I may have to come "visit" permanently...

Unfortunately, for Sprint or Verizon, that's probably not going to happen since it would require a large commitment from Apple to build a CDMA iPhone, and the exclusivity is most likely longer than it will take for Verizon and AT&T to move to a common 4G/LTE network (2010-2011). If you have T-mobile, you could unlock an iPhone, but you'd be limited to using EDGE for data --- at least until T-mobile builds out their 3G network.

I dont think Apple will have no AT&T exclusivity on the low end iPhone but have it on the high end expensiver one, more people will buy the cheap one and Apple will lose money.
 
Air in your brain?

That has been set like that since the Air's have been arriving. Unless Apple is dumb as hell, i'm gonna assume its no error in coding. And that is one helluva error, because consider all of the ICS people reporting their stock. They're not all going to "accidentally" type in "MBA in stock", when they meant iPhone. And, Apple demands 99.9% accuracy in the Back of the House, there would be no room for an error like this. It would simply be impossible.

How do you exactly get to the place of the AT&T wireless website where you can choose between iphone and iphone black. I've been looking but haven't found anything..

alot of the international stores have been like that for awhile...
in fact, i think the US may be the only store with the price posted on the main store page.

i know its off of:
store.apple.com/uk
store.apple.com/ie
store.apple.com/fr

and i cant remember where else the iPhone is now
lol

HAHAHAH.. He is NOT talking about a calculator application on the blackberry having a small interface. Let me rephrase what he said: "the Blackberry has a TINY screen LIKE A CALCULATOR".

Lol...oops. My bad, in which case he would be right.
 
New iPhone available today...

I've been checking periodically O2's webpage all day today and adding an iPhone to my basket just to see if anything interesting happened. Well, just now, I checked again and to my surprise I found that you are not able to add an iPhone to your basket anymore, even though it shows up as available. That was not there a few hours ago!

EDIT: They seem to have fixed it now!! But I'm telling you, I tried several times, only to have an "invisible" item added to my basket but not really showing up!

Blank spot on apple.com home page?

Anyone notice a blank spot on the bottom right hand side of the home page right next to where it says "Macbook Air, A Guided Tour" or was there always a space there?

It was a joke about the fact that there is more than one EST. Once again, the ignorant american didn't know that, nor check my location. :p

Edit: lol, surely you'd catch on when I said that most apple events happen at around 4AM here? ;)
 
People are talking about the possibility of an imminent iPhone (Black?) release - as in this week, or even today.

Surely Steve would not announce this without calling a special event?? I would have thought that such an announcement would warrant more than just a press release. I know that the arrival of the device will be little surprise to anyone, but it's still a pretty damn important one.

An event needs invites for the press, about a week in advance, right?

It depends I would think. If there are major updates to the iPhone, or even the release of two new iPhones, then yes there will be a special event. If they are just putting 3G on there then there might not be one.
