Except for the people who don't. Then they throw it 8 feet facedown on concrete and get all pissed off when the screen shatters. :eek:

Or you wrap the bad boy in an Invisi-shield; preferably before you drop it, unlike what I did with my 1st gen iPhone! You know how it goes - slightly drunk, dropped it and marked the darn thing and then wrapped it in an Invisi-shield...!! :rolleyes:

The 3G didn't come out of the box until Mr Postie delivered the relevant protection...:D

The color not look that good..maybe I'll save some money to get nokia instead of this :)
 
I would say fake too. From my experience working in a company which releases new products, the art work is the last thing to get done. Why would this casing have the designed in apple made in China stuff on already? It is "Thou protesteth too much" I think-Sometimes TOO many details gives the game away.

It is like a forger copying EVERY single detail but leaving out the soul

A prototype or sample would not have these details in my opinion.
 
Well, if there is an aluminum version with the same tapered edges as the current, I hope it looks like this.

Crappy mockup, made it in 5 minutes.

I like that. I always liked the aluminum version, but understood why they switched to plastic. I would love an aluminum version with the contours of the current iphone

I hate the plastic back so much I would gladly pay $999 for that. I of course understand why they moved to plastic, but after being an original iPhone owner since day one prior to switching to the iPhone 3G, I far prefer the aluminum.
 
it's nice

yea it's very nice but dnt get to exited it's the smaller version
or the iphone nano
 
This is a fake image, if you zoom in on the Apple and the text it's blurry around the edges of the text and the Apple logo... If it came true though I'd buy it.

If you had looked at the post for more than five seconds, you would see that it's a mockup the poster made.
 
fake

Total fake - the o and the e in iPhone are clipped at the bottom, where the logo/writing has been copied and pasted. No doubt. Plus the weight of the font is wrong.
 
WRONG.



The camera is a big issue. Most people cite the megapixles; a few more informed cite the optics. I think the biggest issue, however, is the response time of the camera. It's just awful. To see what I am talking about, go to the iPhone camera, quickly point the camera at a stationary object, and see how long the screen takes to respond to an image that would make an acceptable photo. This is what I don't understand about video with jailbroken apps - any movement whatsoever just looks like a blur so I don't see how it can capture any worthwhile video. Case in point: the following are the best and worst photos I took at a Hoobastank concert a few months back. I was completely stationary while taking the photos. Even the "best" one is pretty crappy.

Agreed, they really need to partner up with a company who know something about optics - like Ericsson did with Sony.

There's plenty to choose from - Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Kodak, Minolta...

The lens is crap, the sensor is obviously tiny, and the quality of the sensor in terms of response time is appalling.
 
Fcc Id

The FCC ID doesn't match anything on the FCC site

There are no applications on file that match the search criteria specified:
Grantee Code: bcg Product Code: a1303

There are no applications on file that match the search criteria specified:
Grantee Code: bcg Product Code: a1303a

:confused:

It the FCC approval required for test variants? Presumably yes? Does the FCC hold back publishing until the product is released?

They can (and have) held back information upon Apples request pertaining to unreleased products that require FCC ok. I believe the iPhone 3G was one of the times that happened. I would assume that any new iPhone being worked on fall in the same boat.
 
I kind of like it. I really do love the current design of the black iPhone 3G but unfortunately it has all of the issues with cracking and being a fingerprint magnet, etc. I think this would be a pleasant change.

Having said that, it does seem a little odd that they'd go back in design.

As for the fake/not fake matter, and due to the website's reputation, I'm gonna say that it might see reality. However, Apple seems to change things once they've been leaked. Just look at the new iPod interface - when that was leaked, they made minor changes to it (now playing screen, etc). Now we see that. Maybe in an iPhone a couple generations from now will we see this sort of thing.


I would absolutely buy that. No doubt in my mind at all, that looks terrific.
 
Can I ask a bit of a noobie question, how do we definitely know there is a new iphone coming out in June? I know it WWDC but has there been an apple announcement to say expect a completely new phone in the summer?

We don't, but Apple tends to release new consumer products yearly. So it just happens to be a safe bet.
 
blurry and discolouration around the text, you can see the text was copied and pasted on if you zoom in:
