- cyzum, on 05/29/2008, -6/+52Doesn't suprise me. My uncle worked an integral part of the original iPhone. He didn't know it was for the iPhone until a few weeks before release. Apple is very good about keeping things hush hush.
- whahaa, on 05/29/2008, -1/+46the keypad.
- garths, on 05/29/2008, -8/+53The actual iPhone case will have a giant painting of Steve Jobs' face, with glowing red LED eyes.
You heard it here first. - rosswaycaster, on 05/28/2008, -2/+46BACKUP: http://ageekspot.wordpress.com/2008/05/28/leaked-i ...

Digg this. Hope Gizmodo having this because of error. - Tenoq, on 05/29/2008, -0/+17No, he sub-contracted your mum to do that.
- sruffelman, on 05/29/2008, -0/+15Why does anyone believe blurry photos of "leaked" iPhones anyway? If a few days, we'll know all about the new one and how big of liars all those European leakers are.
- totorototoro, on 05/29/2008, -0/+13Why doesn't Gizmodo just keep the entry, but redact the text? They still even link to it in the "most commented" sections of their site. Deleting a whole entry, redirecting to the main page and pretending it never existed seems so...1990s :p
- Tzvi, on 05/29/2008, -0/+12Steve Jobs personally assembles each and every iPhone.
- elislider, on 05/29/2008, -1/+12youd think by now there would be some asian kid in a manufacturing plant that would be leaking photos of the parts as they are made. SOMEONE has to be involved in the making the damn things before they get to the carriers and before they get to cupertino for prototypes
- TheWorm, on 05/28/2008, -16/+26But "leaked" images are so much fun
- 37prime, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10Because Gizmodo is lame. No fact checking, just a race to "report" the rumors.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -2/+11what integral part would that be?
- sotose, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9Default ringtone is Steve's voice going BOOM!
Like so.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8L39UwOS-Y - ilikechaitea, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7'Even Apple employees often have no idea what their own company is up to. Workers' electronic security badges are programmed to restrict access to various areas of the campus. (Signs warning NO TAILGATING are posted on doors to discourage the curious from sneaking into off-limit areas.) Software and hardware designers are housed in separate buildings and kept from seeing each other's work, so neither gets a complete sense of the project. "We have cells, like a terrorist organization," Jon Rubinstein, former head of Apple's hardware and iPod divisions and now executive chair at Palm, told BusinessWeek in 2000.'

I imagine Apple keeps all points of production separate...a bit like how Batman in Batman Begins gets bits of his mask manufactured by independent manufactures so none know they're building Batman's mask...
Apple Campus = Batcave...? - Phyltre, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7Someone who has signed an NDA so strong, their unborn children would be born mute.

Yesterday I was talking with a contact in one of the European carriers that will be selling the iPhone 3G in June. I'm really getting sick of people claiming that they got leaked images while it is painfully obvious that they are fake. Yesterday, a white version appeared and gullible people still believed it may be true, even while it is obvious that it is the same third-party case we saw in black not so long ago. So I asked: "really, do you guys have the iPhone 3G?"
Yes, we have iPhone 3Gs to test with their network and services. However, they are not the actual iPhones.
In other words: their engineers got the guts, but not the iPhone itself in final form. No design features, no leaked photos, no *****. Just the necessary stuff to do field tests. In fact, nobody outside of Cupertino has seen it, except VIP people who have met with His Steveness.
This is exactly what happened when the first iPhone was getting ready to launch in the United States. AT&T people will get part of the hardware, not even the user interface part, to test their service and network.
So even while the final phone may look like these fakes (after all, there's only a limited number of ways to design the second version of a touch-screen cellphone,) the fact is that there are no iPhone 3Gs out there for people to take blurry photos. Security at Apple keeps being as strong as always, so if you people see another allegedly leaked photo from the UK or Netherlands or France or Spain or any of those weird countries in the Old Continent, posted somewhere to drive traffic or call for attention or make fun of gullible people, just remember that—as of today—there are no complete second generation iPhones to be found in Europe. And friends don't let friends believe in fake *****. - alz0rz, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6***** june 9th can't get here quick enough!
- shawnanigans, on 05/29/2008, -0/+5Even if among the hundreds of fakes one was right, how would we know and why would we believe it? It's sort of perfect for Apple. If someone gets it right there are at least 10 other realitic and plausible options that other people will believe.
- TokenBlack, on 05/29/2008, -0/+5I don't get it. They say that NOBODY but the VIPs of Apple know what the iPhone's exterior looks like (though the carriers have the innards to perform tests with), so ALL the leaked photos are faked. What about all the factory workers in Taiwan and such? No doubt they have seen the exterior.
- EvilAnimator, on 05/28/2008, -14/+18Gizmodo blows
- Viakenny, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4probably because of Apple legal...
WHICH MEANS IT'S TRUE! - Gryffydd, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4And with all of the other stupid stuff they do.
- worldchanger, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4quoth the server, "404"
or as Strong Bad says it, 404'd! - t0ny, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5You can get the iPhone in any color you want as long as it is black.
- gamerzworld, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Either this was a ploy by Gizmodo to get more hits or they are taking in the arse from Apple Legal.
- cdigioia, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3However at some point someone has to finish the assembly.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -3/+6Your uncle is a liar.
- martinezmic, on 05/29/2008, -3/+6Let's see what Senator Vreenak has to say...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qKcJF4fOPs - Sawta, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Oh...oh god. That was awesome.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2stupid twisted fanboy logic.
- cyzum, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2No he's not. He developed the chip the runs the display.
- cyzum, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2Chip that runs the display.
- inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+2do you try hard to be an idiot, or is it natural?
- atb12688, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1Why does it seem like any info (except of course from Apple) about 3G Iphone is complete crap?
- RTourn, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1If all carriers get a different case, apple will know who leaked.
- chkdg8, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1I think we all knew this by now.
- digjam, on 05/29/2008, -1/+2The CASE!
- killtrocity, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1I would enjoy that ringtone for about 10 calls.
- RTourn, on 05/29/2008, -0/+1If all carriers get a different case, apple knows who leaked.
- winampman2, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1Yes, when the exclusivity agreement with AT&T expires. Next year, I'm guessing.
- winampman2, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1Steve Jobs = .....Batman?
- JakeE, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1it was a 5 year contract, so you'll be waiting awhile
- BrendanSheehan, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1The word you meant to say it Engadget
- BrendanSheehan, on 05/30/2008, -0/+1They didn't remove it, it's just something about the url setup they have.
