If you’re about to run to your local Apple or AT&T store to snag up a new black iPhone, let me save you a trip. I just received and email from AT&T representative with the following quote:
“The reference to “iPhone Black” was simply a temporary placeholder used over the weekend for a scheduled catalog update. It was meant to temporarily distinguish the various iPhone models-4GB, 8GB and 16GB-but was never reassigned. It should be corrected on the site by now.” Brad Mays, PR for AT&T.
This is actually kind of silly from my perspective. I apologize if our previous articles here and here got your hopes up. At least now you know for sure. [ Source ] |

Yes - we've heard it too. The blogosphere has gone wild.
Read about it here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. Note that this is not an exclusive carrier, and that Vodafone has announced it in 9 other countries.
Vodafone today announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten of its markets around the globe. Later this year, Vodafone customers in Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy, India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey will be able to purchase the iPhone for use on the Vodafone network.
Vodafone has opened up an "express your interest" form. Check it out here. |

Well here's an interesting one. French iPhone blog iPhon.fr got these pics from an anonymous and unverified source, and while there's no way of telling if the shots are legit, they certainly have a truthy ring to them. They follow what we know so far about the shape, size and color of the upcoming 3G iPhone, and while there's always the possibility of knockoff, a Photoshop job, or some other evil plot to mislead us, we're certainly not going to discount these shots entirely in the runup to iPhone's second coming.

After months of speculation an industry insider (who has asked to remain anonymous) has confirmed to CNET.com.au that Optus will be one of several Australian mobile service providers to be selling Apple's iPhone, with sales and service commencing in the last week of June.
Optus plans to make the announcement mid-May ahead of Apple's Worldwide Developer's Conference on June 9 in San Francisco where Apple CEO Steve Jobs is tipped to launch the next generation of iPhone.

Infineon’s S-GOLD3 has seemingly been confirmed as the chipset to be used in Apple’s upcoming 3G iPhone, as predicted from examination of the recently released iPhone SDK Beta 3. According to DigiTimes, Chinese paper Economic Daily News has confirmed that United Microelectronics Corporation (UMC) have been selected as the foundry that will produce the chip on Infineon’s behalf. The chip, PMB8878, will be manufactured on UMC’s 65nm line.
The Infineon S-GOLD3 has prompted fierce discussion about the specifications for the upcoming handset. While analyst and industry rumors have suggested only minor hardware and software updates for the 3G iPhone, the chipset itself is capable of HSDPA category 8 (7.2 Mbps), camera resolution of up to 5-megapixels, a 2x speed MMC / SD interface, MPEG/H.263 hardware acceleration and video telephony, streaming, recording and playback. Of course, just because that capacity is there, doesn’t mean Apple will take advantage of it; undoubtedly there would be further issues in battery life which, if Steve Jobs is to be believed, was the original delaying factor for a 3G iPhone.
UMC’s securing of the manufacturing contract is a big success for the company. The baseband chip in the first-generation iPhone was also an Infineon design, but the foundry partner then was Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC). It’s uncertain whether TSMC bid for the new contract or not. Source |
