Purcher reports, “Note this specific Apple statement below: ‘Although Apple has begun to market the device publicly, these documents reveal technical and design information that has not been publically disclosed in such marketing and that is protected by Apple as confidential and proprietary secrets.'”

  1. Seriously MDN? That’s standard operating procedure for cell phones. Apple did the same with previous iPhone releases. In no way is it indicative of some mysterious features.

  2. If the info is iPhone 4’s technical ability to work with other carriers, maybe this is ATT’s last chance to exclusively sign (grab) two year contracts.

    ATT has gone on an all out assault on it’s customers in the last few months as partially evidenced by the upgrade “eligibility” and other ATT “rape” stories here on MDN yesterday and recently.

  3. This is marketing at it’s best. Even if it is true and it’s not just a rumor, this one is good.

    You have all the competition scrambling for their lives, cell phone companies wondering whats going on and what the hell they can do about it anyway, every hack writer trying to cash it.

    Brilliant!

    On a more sober note. The US pulled out a 2-2 tie but come on, we sucked the first half. WTF?
