“Australian resellers began receiving mysterious packages from Apple on Friday with a warning across the top that breaching the boxes ahead of June 10th would be a violation of their non-disclosure agreements with the company,” AppleInsider reports.
“MacTalk, which posted the [photo on the left] to its forums, notes that June 10th in Australia is actually around the same time of Apple chief executive Steve Jobs’s June 9th WWDC keynote in the US. The site adds that it believes the boxes contain a single demonstration 3G iPhone to be displayed by the resellers immediately following the company’s announcements,” AppleInsider reports.
“Earlier this year, the Australian Apple fan site published a report in which it said that local resellers had started to receive guidance from the Cupertino-based company regarding a local 3G iPhone launch during the final week of June,” AppleInsider reports.

Who ever puts a packing slip or a note like this on the bottom of the box
Bet it’s a G5!
I just read the DUMBEST thing on CNN money….
“Just how will Apple meet expectations? Using the patent application as a guide, Apple appears to be making room on the iPhone for flash memory, which means an end to Apple’s standoff with Adobe (ADBE) that’s kept iPhones from easily viewing a plethora of Internet videos.”
Yes, dear, that’s what flash memory does… >.<
LOL!!!

That’s a FAKE! I could’ve done that off of my inkjet printer at home, and taped it to a box…
UPSIDE DOWN, mind you…. someone is having fun…
Following in the footsteps of Time Machine and the Time Capsule, it’s a Time Bomb.
” mysterious boxes labeled ‘Do Not Open’”
Well, we know it’s not the ‘Paris Hilton’ tribute model.
I heard that was going to be a clamshell, anyhow….
The photo is a fake.
And NDA is a real, legal thing that is enforceable, because if you Disclose, and they can prove it, you have violated an agreement that you signed.
They cannot, however, prove that you have opened a box.
Game. Set. Match.
iBomb?
Who know Jobs was a secret muslim too?
@ChrissyOne et al,
Let’s all remember to save that article for he next time Ben Charny comments on anything Apple.
its iPhones!
SJ will be announcing iPhone launched in Austrailia.
Why in the WORLD would Apple send out a package with an NDA warning and a Do Not Open Until date?
You think Steve is a bloody idiot?
Actually, this has happened before. I’ll check to see if I can find a link.
@ Dallas
A Shiite Muslim. Didn’t you hear? ;P
I think it was Eisner, wasn’t it?
@ ChrissyOne
Or was it Sunni. I can’t remember. I guess you are right, he was raised in a Madrasah.
Yeah. I saw this last night, but didnt realize it was the bottom of the box. That alone should tip people off that its a fake. Apple, of all companies, wouldnt be stupid enough to send out packages upside down.
@ChrissyOne
LOL. Clearly the guy is in the same league as Krakow and his cohorts.
iPhone 2: World’s worst kept secret.
fake or not doesn’t matter.
just be a good reader and click on some advertising.
@anthony007
“World’s worst kept secret”
You think so? What do we know about it? We are about 85-90% sure it’s coming next week. Then if it does come I would say we hold about 80-85% sure it’ll have 3G. We are 100% sure it’ll have an App Store and the other doo dads mentioned at March’s RoadMap meeting. What else do we know? Not much.
I’ld say
GPS- 60%
Front Mounted Camera- 30%
Thinner- 50%
Thicker- 50%
Black- 90%
White- 50%
Anything I missed?
@ Dallas: yeah, u missed that it’ll be 100% awesome!
I hope they do open it… People just don’t seem to realise that apple squeeze midget bosygaurds into these boxes just in case someone does open them. Won’t somebody please think of the midgets?
Dallas,
How does it feel to wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and realize you are staring at a small, racist little man. Was that seriously the first comment that came into your mind?
in Australia it’s “10 June” not “June 10th”
sloppy
C1, either you or CNN owe me a new screen on my iBook……
damn chai everywhere.
