Australian Resellers Receive Mysterious Boxes

[Walter P Henson]

ok now that youre back whats the back case made out of?

 

[MACMACMACMAC]

Alright, i've heard enough of this Hoax business, so here's the deal. I am a sales manager in an Apple store in the United States and i can confirm without a shadow of a doubt that we also received boxes like this and they have been sitting "unopened" in the back of our stores for about 4 days now. The box you are seeing in the photo is enclosed in another box, that box is a plain brown box with only a shipping label. THE PHOTOS ARE IN FACT REAL.

if the photos are real and the date on the box says "do not open until june 10th" and you said that the iphone2 will come out on the 16th, then i'll let you guys do the math

yeah is it plastic or metal?

 

[carenstation87]

Glad you can understand the skepticism. Fake or not, it makes for an exciting thread. Just thought I would ask about the price. Is it $299 with contract for the 16 gb?

It is 299 from Apple.

 

[carenstation87]

yeah is it plastic or metal?

It is Metal.

 

[Walter P Henson]

do you know anything about plan pricing? and subsidys?

 

[carenstation87]

if the photos are real and the date on the box says "do not open until june 10th" and you said that the iphone2 will come out on the 16th, then i'll let you guys do the math

Announced=9th
Boxes containing product announced on 9th=do not open before 10th
Date phone is available to customers=16th

It is 299 from Apple.

You mentioned before other models? Do you have the pricing on them? Or even the price of the 32Gb version?

Also (sorry if already asked) does it use the same 3.5" screen as the current iPhone?

 

[Syrus28]

Are prices being subsidized for new contracts?

 

[bacaramac]

It is Metal.

Finally, Apple must have figured out a way to either place the antennas for better signal or are using a different metal compound for better signal. You know the, "well yes it's metal, but it is really X which we can call metal"

 

[macattackeh]

Is there a camera on both sides.

 

[carenstation87]

do you know anything about plan pricing? and subsidys?

I do not know that information. That is strictly on the AT&T side

 

[MACMACMACMAC]

[SchneiderMan]

It is 299 from Apple.

any new rules on buying it from apple stores?

will it still be like buying an ipod? (lol) just making sure

 

[carenstation87]

carenstation,
can you tell me anything about the update...like when will it come out?

It will be released with the phone.

 

[carenstation87]

2 per customer, 5 per credit card, as they are now

 

[carenstation87]

Already answered.

 

[Syrus28]

Hmm... So the 16th... Does Apple usually release products on a friday? I mean, people aren't exactly going to be "camping" out at an Apple store on a monday... Or atleast not as many

 

[MACMACMACMAC]

It will be released with the phone.

can you tell me what will be in the update and how much for the ipod touch.and will it be free for my iphone?

 

[SchneiderMan]

so you said one of the colors are white and the back will be metal, how will a white metal be like?


P.S ANY NEWS ON NEW MACBOOKS??!?!?!?!?!?! pleaseee

 

[jsbarone]

Already answered.

how about new MBPs? signs point to no, but I'm hoping for yes.

 

[carenstation87]

so you said one of the colors are white and the back will be metal, how will a white metal be like?

Paint is a magical thing

[SchneiderMan]
