i like the squared off design.
certainly ready for something new.
I am excited. I can finally update my original iPhone. It’s been hard but I hope with this update it’s worth it.
Are there no Apple secrets left?
Knowing the Chinese history of ripping off electronic companies with building fakes, I don’t know if I can beileve it
Is just me, or are the screws on the bottom back? I have a theory, the phone with the screws is either a) the international model or, b) the Verizon model. While the more polished, screwless model (no pun) is the US ATT model. Sounds plausible to me.
@5280420,
I think the models with the screws are just prototypes and it is easier (and maybe cheaper, too) to make them than the final model.
It could also be that those models are prototypes made in Cupertino and not overseas.
There are now bounties for pre-release iPhones.
An assembly worker could live for a year on what he/she makes selling this stuff.
That’s checkbook journalism for ya’. Flash-the-pan fun but at what cost?
If stolen iPhones represented political dissent, they’d never see the light of day.
The submarine media then has the nerve to bring us news of the factory workers death, label it Apple’s fault, to ensure they garner hits, so they can continue to put bread on the table.
The bigger the footprint, the bigger the target, that’s what I always say.
If it can be white, it can be any color. Stay tuned for choices.
Black is black I see,
then it turns white for money,
black is white turns red.
@radioflyer–
Me too! I’ve had my original iPhone for three years now, and I’m definitely ready for the next one. I’ve only held out this long because I’m hoping for something beyond 60 GB, in order to replace my 60 GB iPod, at the same time.
I’m ready either way. I’ll be disappointed if they don’t offer at least 64 GB, but I would be ecstatic for something even larger!
I don’t understand what all the fuss is about screws on the bottom of the case, as if this is some new thing. My 3Gs has 2 small screws in the bottom also. Presumably the 3G does too.
Tend to agrree with Drocass… might be a ‘KIRF’ model.
I’ll have the white one please.
Ahhh…. thanks for the info!
Update:
New Android colors soon!
Steve never ceases to amaze. This whole ramp up to the next gen iPhone is a new page in marketing genius.
Through carefully orchestrated “leaks” Steve has managed to create a frenzy over the new version which, according to dozens of media reports, will be playing catch up to competing phones from several competitors and their open networks.
And, we are told, the new iPhone doesn’t really catch up but we are all now in such a dither to get our hands on one that it doesn’t matter. Genius.
Oh, and I forgot – it’s the “revolutionary” new iPhone. Sorry, MDN, I almost didn’t catch my mistake.
So, you’ve seen the liner notes for Steve’s presentation have you? And you actually know what hardware, software and everything that will be in it? Mmmgh, perhaps you could let us know how you know that. Better yet, perhaps you can troll your way back to the Big G who thus far have produced Vaporware and cannot support their claim to showing full pledged FLASH unless it’s been mobilized.
We’ll see what happens when Froyo is eventually released and put up one on one against the new iPhone and not the trolling, bullshit that has been mentioned comparing Froyo with iPhone 3.0.
By the way, if Android is so brilliant, why is it lagging in Europe where they actually have a choice in carriers? Reality, only the uber geeks and the wanna be iphone people actually use a droid in Europe and in the states, it’s all about Verizon. Once that door opens you can kiss your DROID LOVING ASS GOODBYE.
These (supposed) new iPhones look great, but it’s funny that they have the “look and style” of the 5th gen (full-sized first video) iPod. And that’s funny to me because the 5th gen iPod, available in shiny black or white, was the premier iPod in 2007 when the first iPhone came out. Some of those original fake iPhone Photoshop mockups (prior to the actual Mac World announcement) looked a bit like the iPhones in these leaked photos.
Now, what will the next iPod touch look like? Perhaps Apple will follow the iPad approach (where the iPad with and without 3G look almost the same) and the new iPod touch will use the same case and internal design as the new iPhone, with the 3G wireless and GPS parts not present. Or maybe the new iPod touch will be styled more like an iPad and be renamed “iPad mini.”
Wow that’s old news. Saw the pics about a week ago.
Radioflyer & Confuzed1: I upgraded from original to 3G, but didn’t go to 3GS; I’ve now had this phone for 2 years & desperately need a new one, mainly because it’s now stuck in silent mode because the ringer switch broke off. But I’m holding off till the new phones come out. I don’t care what they look like…I just want to know when they’ll be in the stores!
If they can have black and white, how about other colors? Could help market.
Hey it’s really very beautiful, and i love this i phone, and i think the feature are also good in this i phones.

@New pr strategy
In your haste to be recognised as relevant (you’re not!) and present us with your thoughts about the Steve Jobs, the iPhone and marketing, your make some mistakes.
“Through carefully orchestrated “leaks” Steve has managed to create a frenzy over the new version which, according to dozens of media reports, will be playing catch up to competing phones from several competitors and their open networks.”
WTF are you trying to say here … Do you even have a clue yourself? let me try to translate and simplify your half baked ideas. Now … I am going to type this out slowly, as I know you are not a fast reader!
<< Translation – Steve Jobs has “Through carefully orchestrated “leaks”” the media believing that the fourth generation iPhone is redundant.
??? what are open networks ???
“And, we are told, the new iPhone doesn’t really catch up but we are all now in such a dither to get our hands on one that it doesn’t matter. Genius.”
<< Translation … We are told (who is telling us?) the iPhone is archaic and redundant, but idiots will buy it anyway.
Why would Steve Jobs “secretly” promote the iPhone as antediluvian, he wouldn’t – your rationalisation defeats itself.
Lets see this from Apple’s perspective – people who are astute, bright and shiny will make a percipient choice, no point chasing them, but people who are vacuous, dull and sullen need to be prevailed upon; that involves marketing, hardly a stroke of genius, even though he is recognised for his brilliance by his peers.

“Oh, and I forgot – it’s the “revolutionary” new iPhone. Sorry, MDN, I almost didn’t catch my mistake.”
The trouble with you and your ilk is that you are not only ignorant of the language that you speak, but you are also lazy, which is why you can not think things through accurately or use the tools to hand.
I sugest that you look up the word “revolutionary” in a dictionary (big book lot’s of words, kinda laid out alphabetically) and you might discover that the adjective “revolutionary” is not all about Che Guevara, assault on the Bastille or the American Revolution, no, it is a perfectly good word to use in the context it has been placed.
While you are at it look up the adjective “magical” and discover that that word is not homogeneous to your childhood dreams of pixes and faries, it is not shackled to a time when your mummy read Disney books to you; grown ups use words like it and others in diverse ways.

Want a white iPhone with right-angled edges in June.
Did not upgrade my 3G to 3GS as waiting for this puppy, very excited.
