As usual, the echoes of the upcoming iPhone 5 polluting the Internet. There’s a grainy picture of a supposed Apple employee using a prototype iPhone 5, let’s start the copying and pasting! Take all iPhone 5 news with a grain or a boulder of salt; including the one you are reading right now. Yes this very post!<\/p>\n
“So I know <name redacted> who works for Apple. This person is one of the executives or managers who are closely involved in the iPhone division at Apple. <name redacted> told me stories about the visits from Foxconn factory in China about the manufacturing process of iPhone 4. Back in December 2010, I asked <name redacted> about the upcoming iPhone 5. I was told not to hold my breath for iPhone 5 this June\/July 2011. Fast forward to April 30th, 2011; I was looking into getting a white iPhone 4. <name redacted> told me that I’d be getting an iPhone from Apple, but not the white one. Even though I wanted a white iPhone 4, I was glad to get any iPhone on Apple’s dime. Apple also gave me a micro-SIM card with it. Once again I asked <name redacted> about iPhone 5. <name redacted> told me that <content redacted>. I am now looking forward to the iPhone coming in 2012.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Who is this Apple executive or manager? It could be Steve Jobs, Phil Schiller, Scott Forstall or anyone in the iPhone team.<\/p>\n
About that purported picture of iPhone 5:<\/p>\n
“I don’t think that’s an iPhone 5. It doesn’t look like the one I’m testing right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
What? Can I see it?<\/p>\n
“No. You just have to take my words for it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Can I tell everyone that you have one?<\/p>\n
“You can’t reveal my identity. Apple won’t be too happy about it.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
OK. I won’t say who you are, but I will say that you have the next iPhone.<\/p>\n
This is coming from the same person who told us about no iPhone in WWDC<\/a>. That was from March 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
