iPhone Rumor Round-Up

Since there have been so many iPhone rumors lately, I took it upon myself to compile some of the more juicy ones all in one place. Remember, none of this is official until Uncle Steve rolls up the sleeves of his black turtleneck and delivers the keynote at WWDC on June 9th.

Shipment of “Electric Computers” – Could this nondescript packaging be holding the coveted new iPhone?

iPhone Ships on June 9th? – This is the obvious one. With Steve Jobs making the keynote, there is speculation that he’ll be delivering the goods that very day.

.Mac to be revamped? – This was just dropped yesterday, that .Mac may be renamed to Mobile Me and offer push e-mail and other new features that would fit well with… the “new” iPhone.

Apple shooting commercial at 5th Ave. – Honestly, this could be for anything. But iPhone conspiracy theorists seem to think this commercial is being filmed for the iPhone.

iPhone icon gives away “new” iPhone design? – I’m a little skeptical about this one, if only because of the crappy resizing. It could have easily been faked, but some are saying this is the new shape of the iPhone.

The unfortunate thing about all these rumors is that they are only rumors. If you were to call any Apple Retail Store you will receive the same response: “I don’t know.” The retail employees are left in the dark until literally the day a new product arrives.

What we do know: Rather than continuing with rumors, I’d like to point out the only two things we know for certain:

Steve Jobs delivers the WWDC Keynote on June 9th

The iPhone 2.0 software will be released in June

Other than that, everything is speculation. We could be expecting a brand new iPhone and just get the same old iPhone with new software on June 9th. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Until next time, Apple Fanatics!

FromUnwired View:
The proration is simple: for each month of your contract, the cancellation fee drops by $5. In other words, if you are halfway through your 2-year contract you will only pay $115 per line to get out instead of $175; if you have 6 months left, that amount drops to $85. With one month left, you pay $60. One disclaimer to keep in mind, however, is that this offer is extended only to those who renew or activate contracts as of today; customers who began or upgraded prior to May 25, 2008 will not qualify for this offer.
