It's so that the prototype can't be recognised and so that he can't then be pinpointed as the person who leaked the information. Think about things a little before you post.

Details like numbers or ID codes, or particular defining characteristics can be EASILY photoshopped out. Think before you respond!:rolleyes:
 
this is not true. the article was dated 5/30 I believe. Besides, otherwise he'd also have predicted swine flu, if the dates you say are correct.

bahaha, I've been owned. It was the bad autotranslation, near the bottom of the page. Could've sworn it said March. Weird.
 
Glad to see he smartened up and put on his seatbelt for the 2nd photo. The shock of how clear the image was would have knocked him out of his seat.

I doubt they were taken at sequentially. They even messed with the odometer settings. The question wold by, why were they not taken sequentially?
 
Good! A compass to use whilst hiking because lord knows with AT&T you'll have zero coverage.
 
Article removed?

This is interesting. I can no longer find that article so it's my guess that they removed it, probably due to bandwidth issues ;)
 
I am very excited about the new iPhone. Definitely will be purchasing one. Most people agree it will be revealed at WWDC. I am wondering when it will be released. A month later as some have speculated? I find that to be too long as the Pre is coming out June 10th. An exciting time for sure.

"d" day has not passed yet. it is the 6th june.
........

He was talking about Memorial Day.

Hope it gonna be revealed at WWDC, and next day it could be relesed, by the way, do you think, it gonna be sold more times than iPhone 3G ?:)
 
LoL, yea, I'm suprised no one else has posted anything else about that comment.

What camera out there has a "fuzzy" setting? Or better yet, tell me the art of taking just fuzzy pictures!

Sounds like a joke. But I can't deny these pictures COULD be the real deal, just saying that was a silly thing to say. :D

Current iPhone 3G comes standard with that setting :D
 
Isn't Apple known for using multiple fake prototype designs to pinpoint potential leakers?

I have no idea. If that's the truth it's highly doubtful these pictures are real then. If Apple does give out fake prototypes, there's a high probability this is one of them.

It still wouldn't be hard at all to photoshop out rather defining characteristics (ID numbers, tags etc) and give us a nice clear picture.
 
Somebody at Apple is getting fired on Monday. :)

It shouldn't be too difficult for Apple to figure out which employee took a prototype iphone to China.

It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out Apple is behind these leaks. I'm sure they don't want anyone to buy any other phones PRE-maturely without seeing WWDC first.

It's June 6th for the pre :rolleyes:

No, I took it down i figured the hoax has gone far enough and created so much hype that it was best to shut it down. 3rd Gen parts in a 3g case and yall fell for it.
 
I can't wait, this thing is going to be my best friend on hikes. GPS, compass, 32gb so I can store quite a few films and TV shows and iPlayer over the 3G connection when all them run out, and whats more a better camera to take photos! I'm reluctant to take my SLR when hiking or anything with precision gear like that (what my iPod shuffle is for :)). Oh and if I've broke my leg I can ring up and give my exact position via GPS all from one device.

... Now for a perpectul energy battery :eek:.
 


Yesterday's claimed leak of the next generation iPhone has generated a lot of attention, resulting in the original site (UMPCFever) going down from the traffic. One 9to5Mac reader provides an manual translation of the entry which provides a bit more detail and insight behind the story. The fully translated entry with a mirror of the original pictures has been organized here and is much easier to follow. It starts:
The following images show a comparison of photos taken with the current iPhone (left) and the new iPhone (right), meant to demonstrate the superiority of the Auto-Focus camera in the new iPhone.

The article also describes the built-in compass funtionality: "Upon press of a button, the direction is immediately displayed. It will be very useful when travel or mountain hiking." The rest of the screenshots seem to depict features that have been known to be coming in iPhone 3.0. The compass interface, however, has not been previously seen, nor has the auto-focus "square" depicted here.

So does this autofocus feature also fix pictures in motion? Like, antishake/image-stabilization ?
 
has anyone else noticed the fact that the pictures that depict the autofocus function are also showing the cam/video slider selector on the video selection...not on the camera selection.
the one picture when it is on the camera mode...there is no blue box on the screen...i only see one when they are in video mode.
this doesnt make much sense..wouldnt it likely be the other way around..you would need autofocus in camera mode, but not in video mode...

?

Although the people frequenting this and other Apple rumor boards like to think they are the center of the universe, we are but a blip on the radar for Apple. Anything posted here will not ever be seen by the general buying public. The vast majority of phone purchasers don't know a new iphone is coming, and won't be watching the WWDC feed. Their first exposure to the new iphone will either be when they see a new commercial on TV or just happen to walk into an Apple store after it goes on sale. How else can you explain why people are still buying the current model so close to announcement day?
 
Don't forget...

All the hype and excitement over Teh Noo iFone...I'm more excited about the new iPod touch. :D Just think...the iPhone's CPU has always been slower than the iPod touch...so if the new iPhone is going to be fast, the 3G iPod touch will be screaming. My predictions this September: the touch will gain a faster CPU, jump to 64 GB*, possibly a higher-resolution screen, improved speaker and perhaps a magnetometer. And thus make the Zune HD its bitch before proceeding to mop the floor with it. :D




* While that's less storage space than the 120GB Zune HD, flash memory is vastly superior to a hard drive based player. ;)
 
what I find amazing about that picture is that to my eyes the improvement in marginal at best. Is it my eyes, because it almost makes me laugh !?!?
