The latest unconfirmed iPhone rumour is upon us, and it once again claims the next-generation device will be available in three colours, well, that, or it confirms there’s a lot of rabid iPhone fans prepared to spend a little time creating Photoshop fakes of potential Apple ads...
We’re not sure how much weight to give this latest rumour, which we’re publishing here because rumour’s like this seem set to keep the iPhone world turning as we inch our way toward June 9.
iPhone Hellas reports (this link seems non-functional) the next-gen device will be slimmer than its predecessor, and available in three colours; white, black and (erm) red..
There have been continued mumblings that iPhone may be made available in multiple different models. Whether we’re going to see them all appear next month is open to question. These rumours got a shot in the arm last month when Piper Jaffray said: "We continue to expect Apple to offer a family of iPhones (2-3 separate models) in the first half of 2009, including lower priced ($200-$300) models. Just as the company slowly diversified the iPod lineup and entered lower price points with every new version of the iPod, we expect Apple to launch new models of the iPhone at lower price points in CY09. This expectation, along with the expectation for lower price points, and world wide availability of the phone, is critical to our CY09 iPhone estimate of 45m units.”

i don't know if this is
i don't know if this is gonna happen, but red is so not an apple colour (except for the product (red) products of course, but they are really red, not this kind of dark reddish shine). Nope, not impressed... yet.
I assume that if these ads
I assume that if these ads were real that the appstore icon would be on the display. It's a shame really, 'cos I like the look of the black one. Oh well, only 13 more days until all this iphone 3G rumour silliness is over with!
It's already been shown
It's already been shown there is a black, white and graphite model with the EXO mask for 3G iPhones.

Three ways of life?
Clearly fake. That slogan doesn't even make sense. When Apple puts a slogan in an ad, it's usually obvious what it means. (e.g. "1000 songs in your pocket", "iBook:iMac to go", etc. I don't think red, white, and red are "ways of life"
The black backing looks
The black backing looks really cool though... although abviously they're all fake.
However, despite my being 100% Greek, I can't read this, but it seems as though French Telecom has denied GPS in the iPhone. Could it be?

I saw exactly these pics @ flickr 2 weeks ago.
Just search for "iphone 3G" and you'll find them...

Thanks that's helpful. I
Thanks that's helpful. I guess it illustrates the power of the community, it's even good to know when you're wrong (though also nice to know when you're right)
Thank you

No prob! I was in that 3G-iPhone-hype also.
Now, we only have to wait 2 weeks more and see what's coming.
2 weeks only!!! So no speculation any more, no whos-right-or-wrong any more and I'm very relaxed...
I must warn I'm beginning
I must warn I'm beginning to get this vibe we may not - quite - see it all go exactly as predicted...
Blatantly fake. As someone
Blatantly fake. As someone pointed out earlier, the "Three ways of life" copy doesn't make sense. Add to that the fact that the copy is cramped against the image and would never pass a decent Art Director's scrutiny. Also, if Apple's layout style was being followed, the phones would be composed with depth in perspective rather than cloned side by side, which is more of a retail shot.
I know most of my "taste"
I know most of my "taste" is just in my mouth, but all can say to the non-black ones is "ugh."
Part of the visual appeal of the iPhone's front to me is how the black background of the actual display blends seamlessly into the black of the rest of the device.
The white and red in these pics, real or not, destroy that aesthetic and make those devices look much more like any other smartphone.
Too ugly of an ad for apple.
Too ugly of an ad for apple. Apple will never come out with multiple colors for the iphone, it just make the device looks cheaper in my opinion. It is not a piece of GUM. Also, they have to stay different than all the other stupid guys who come up with different color phones. It is just not apple. People are hyped for different colors like the iPod line. Who knows what Steve is hiding for us, I guarantee you all that it will be not like any of the rumors that came out in past month or so.
Very photoshopped...
If you look carefully at the angled image, you'll notice that the front camera is not quite as angular as the other round icons are. In other words, the perspective is wrong. It's so obvious.
Also, having a thinner iPhone would not allow a recessed headphone jack, and the image still shows a recessed headphone jack. A physical impossibility.
