Looks quite nice.

I sure hope it comes in a 32 gig model……

I would assume these might not be real, otherwise a quick takedown would be in order… Although, the Apple legal team might not be working full force at midnight on a Friday.

Fake, the lock button is missing on the (RED) one.

Good eye on the missing lock button!

Plus, XP isn’t capitalized properly on the iChat website mockup image.

XP isn’t capitalized on the iChat website mockup.

im not sure if this is fake or not, but if you look closely the red iphone is at a slightly different angle than the other one. (notice how the black one has a slight angle at the bottom)
this could account for the phantom button.

Not only is the lock button missing on the Product(RED), but all of the Product(RED) products have “Product” on them. this one is missing it

They are fake, the real ones have chrome volume buttons on them not black ones.

Why does it say Windows XP SP2 or Windows Vista required under the section about iChat ??

It’s leading me to believe this is a fake, otherwise this does seem very convincing.

Also the Red iPhone doesn’t have a lock switch.

Helloooo????

What about XP SP3 ????

this is just too fake!
_________________________

Well not everyone installed SP3 on XP

High chances that it only needs files installed in SP2 and nothing from SP3 is needed.

Oh wait, never mind! It says iChat now for Windows!!!

I found some proof that the 3g iphone will be released on Monday at the apple store. Go to the apple website and try and make an appt for tech xupport this coming Monday or any day next week and no matter what store you visit you will not be able to make the appointment. Normally the site allows for one week in advance. However, I believe apple has shut down the genius bar so that customers cant make appts during the initial launch. Think about it - it would be a great way to cut in line by having a legitimate appt.

I just made an appt to shop for an iphone at 10 am on June 9th at the store down the street from me in San Diego so it doesn’t look like your theory holds water.

you should try to make an appt for later than 6, that is when apple releases all their new products later in the day

You can only book appointments 48 hours in advance, which is why there were no appointments open after 6 when you tried it. I just made an appointment for 6:30 on Monday, and if you go check the other stores now you’ll be able to do the same thing too.

well, considering this are supposedly pictures of the print and web layouts, it’s quite reasonable for the images of the phones to not be 100%. Odds are they just took pictures of one phone and just switched colorsto make the Red model. While the missing lock button gives reasonable doubt, it’s not a pure falsification. If these where pictures of the actual products and not ad mock-ups/previews then shenanagins indeed. Regardless, I won’t drink the kool-aid until SJ himself holds one in his hands.

Perhaps not stereo speakers on the back, but rather a microphone and a speaker like the current iPhone. The move to the back seems to have been made due to the change of curvature on the bottom edge.

Real or not the concept of video chat with friend and family when traveling is almost too much to hope for. It would certainly tip the scales towards repacing my v1 iPhone.

Call me a skeptic, but they don’t look like Apple’s slick photography, which is clean, clean, clean, when it comes to product photos. I’m going to say - fake.

so, what’s the “exchange ideas”, one say?
Good eye on the missing lock, I also don’t think they’d have a (red) one right off the launch.

But, I never thought the nanos would go fat either. fun post nonetheless

there seems to be a tapered edge on the front face like the ipod touch

I like how you guys over at CrunchGear completely gloss over the fact that WiFi is not correctly capitalized the normal Apple way - in the photo it’s spelled “wifi”.

It’s not bad enhancement if you can see it with your own eyes - Windows is capitalized fine but WiFi isn’t and neither is XP.

This have to be real its almost impossible to make this image. First off it would take to much time second the button on the phone screen in the ichat like the swap look pretty real and try to apple design. I really think we have seen the first real pictures. Thank you to the att or apple employee that will be fired for showing us these.

its a lot easier than you think to make a fake like this
my friend the other month made a similar photo and sent it to all my friends, the rounded edge, web2.0 looking buttons that apple does arent that hard to photoshop

Try some commas. Periods, basic grammar next time.
100% Fakes, TOO.

Also, if you look closely, it seems that there is a video chat already in progress, and someone else, Carlos, is video calling the iphone. OK, but why does Carlos have a girl’s picture. I doubt Apple would put an ad that has Carlos calling and a girl on the picture that’s calling.

No, the girl is already video chatting with Carlos and no one else is calling. The picture of the girl is there so she can see what Carlos sees, so she knows she’s pointing the phone correctly.

Carlos doesn’t have a girl’s picture. The girl is holding the iPhone and Carlos is the guy in the middle (for sure, the caller is shown in the big picture).

The girl is the one he’s chatting with!!!

Faslane

This is fake. She would never call Carlos. They had a big fight over at Lisa’s party last Friday and she swore Carlos off. Whole thing is fake

Bahaha I love you

Re: Update 2… I don’t think Apple’s just releasing iChat for windows, I think Apple’s releasing Cocoa for Windows. They we’d have “OS X iPhone”, “OS X Leopard”, and “OS X Windows”.

The original Cocoa for Windows came to be back in the 90s in a NeXT product called “OpenStep Enterprise”, which became “Yellow Box for Windows” in 1997 when Apple acquired NeXT.

This fits nicely with the depcrcation of Carbon… a necessary step if Cocoa is to be ported to windows. Also, a lot of work has probably been done along those lines already to port Safari to Windows.

Apple will never, ever release OS X on Windows. Apple will never, ever release Cocoa on Windows. People seem to think that Apple makes a lot of money from their OS sales, from their software, and it is simply not true. Apple is a hardware company. You can buy any intel Mac that will run Windows and OS X but you will never be able to buy OS X for a generic PC. Apple does not want to and indeed is not interested in supporting that range of hardware. People always point out that it would expand the OS X user base and increase market share, but that’s not what Apple wants. Again, Apple sells hardware first and makes it’s money there. Porting OS X kills a huge part of the appeal for their Mac hardware and, indeed, their Mac brand. Don’t believe me? Head on over to DaringFireball.net and read John Gruber’s take on this. Smart guy, knows his stuff. http://daringfireball.net/2006/04/asinine_and_or_risky_ideas

You can’t be talking about the same John Gruber who claims that any software that hasn’t shipped, no matter what stage of development, is vapor-ware. That idiot?

Apple would never ever ever make the

“video chat with…
Carlos Rodriguez”

part look like the way it does right now.

no flash?? blah…
