Has anyone noticed this in the photos of iPhone 4?

There is NO carrier listed. I have noticed that ever since the launch photos came up.

Yet the hands on shows AT&T...

Any ideas? :D
 
The iPhone 4 will not be sold exclusively in the United States.

Apple is being fair to international carriers by not showing AT&T as the carrier.

Nothing special.
 
Yeah, I noticed the second one is a photoshop. Do you see the bar's on that thing?
 
The top one is a rendered image. It's missing the carrier because they're not going to make an image for the hundred or so carriers out there.

The bottom one is a real phone, it was filmed in the US.
 
I think it's because the iPhone will be (and is) available in different countries and the United States is the only one that provides AT&T service. So they don't want to show a specific carrier/provider.

Yes.

That's because the top picture is used for press and to show the phone on the website. The iPhone is worldwide and there are many more carriers than just AT&T. AT&T is only proprietary to the USA.

The second image was simply because it was taken in the USA.

EDIT: Wow... I'm slow! (You guys beat me to it. :p)
 
They've been doing that for awhile. 3GS has it, too. I'm fairly certain that they had it on the old 3GS page, too, but it's no longer on their website.

EDIT: Wow, ninja'd by about 5 posts...
 
Probably because iPhone 4 is launching on many different carriers and not just AT&T. The hands on show AT&T because that phone was connected to AT&T.
 
Well ****. I guess I need to get some sleep because my brain never put the two together.

Major brain fart. :(

Not to mention a bunch were made at 9:41 ... as the famous Apple o'clock showing on the first pic ...

Edit: At least if you live my time zone. Hehe.
 
Anyone notice that all the times are at 9:41 AM on all iPhone 4 images, but the times used to all be at 9:42 AM on the 3GS? ;P

Crazy we both posted about 9:41 at exactly 9:52 ... I suppose since you brought up 9:42 ...

Allrighty then.
