i wouldnt doubt it if value of a photo of the iphone would be worth more than an entire years salary..........
im sure theres only been like, what 30 people in chinese factories assemling them right?
All the people who have it are high ranking. Take one for the team? So they're gonna throw away their life job just so the community can see it before it's released?
As for the Chinese workers...if you've been to China...you'd know that if a Chinese person has a camera, they would NOT be working in the factory as a assembly line worker.
I actually enjoy the secrets that Apple tries to keep followed by the crazy stunts that people/blogs/papers/sites pull to try and uncover the secrets
It is why I visit this site.....to read peoples reviews/opinions/rumors

What happens after that money runs out? Companies don't hire people who leak their trade secrets...
And that in itself is the point. Quite honostly, someone probably shared the information early on, and apple has probably told everyone different things, that when they release their "information" any other info is not credible. Besides, after years of that happening, nothing is credible really...
But seriuosly, yes, Apple does an amazing job keeping their information within the company. If any of you have read the Wired article on the first iPhone you'll learn a bit more about how secretive they really are.
This needs to be on the front page. That is simply great reporting!!!!
Very interesting article. Confused how my new iPhone will fit in my pocket if its the same size as an iMac, but hey, my pockets are huge.
This much is true.
Apple is doing much better than before in the 90's at keeping secrets. That much is for sure.
Yep.
Nice article. Thanks.
So true.
Every chinese worker has a syringe of cyanide sitting next to them. If the person next to them tries to take a picture of the phone they stab them in the neck with the cyanide...
Its pretty much a requirement.
By the way, on the side of the syringe there is anlogo.
No, no, no. It is like the movie American Gangster where all the girls have to work naked so they can't steal any drugs. Same goes here, they all have to work naked, this means cells phones and cameras are left at the door.
EDIT: I just hope I don't find any curly hairs in my new phone. Sorry guys, I know, to much info.
Just imagining that...Same goes here, they all have to work naked, this means cells phones and cameras are left at the door.
come to think of it, Apple is one of the best companies when it comes to keeping new products on the secretive side of things. in the past, less than 1% of the apple addicts had any idea of the ipod video, ipod classic, macbook, ipodtouch, IPHONE, and even smaller concepts such as the isight.
as i stare at the original ipod sitting on my desk, i remember the first time i brought it to school a few days after its release. no one even had a clue what an mp3 player was! 5 years of innovation=the iphone...and with it the damn anticipation mixed with unvieling falacies. its all fun and games but can it please be monday already......

I think it's fun not knowing, reading up on the rumours and trying to guess. The keynote on Monday wouldn't be half as much fun if we knew exactly what it was going to be!
Maybe the other boxes aren't Apple's at all, but from someone who promises to send the goods in a plain brown envelope, I mean box!

DON'T YOU DARE! DON'T YOU DARE SAY HIS NAME *SOBS* YOU DON'T GOT THE RIGHT! YOU DON'T GOT THE RIGHT!!
Arrghhhhrrtthhhh *squeels of agony* ARRARAAAAACHHGHGHHGGAAAA *inflecting pain on myself" RARRRRrrreerrrreAAAQQRrrrrrr...
On the original iPhone, people at the company didn't even see the original design! It was apparently put into a FAKE case before the release.
DING! DING! DING! You got it! All these photos of the "Black Back" are ruse cases! Hence the confusion around thickness. The ruse back is chubbier, but the REAL 3G iPhone is slimmer! It may also explain the possibly cheap looking "Black Back" - IT'S A DECOY!
omigod, omigod, omigod...is it Monday yet?!

You know that one brown box of these can contain several iPhones.
Really? Cool!
Man, those guys are smart!
Its not long now people, hopefully the attached picture will keep you calm!

I thought it was the faked moon landing and the fact that the earth is flat. These secrets require the involvement and coverup by 10,000's of people over many decades.
Fake lunar landing might actually be true...honestly some crazy evidence.
