iPhone Lands In Australia

There’s something in the air. It smells like iPhone fever. And the latest, most exciting piece of information is this photo of… a box. MacTalk Australia have received this image from a “very reliable source” – a box from Apple with an NDA requiring that the box isn’t opened before Tuesday June 10 – which for those of you playing at home correlates to the Australian time of the WWDC.

According to MacTalk, Apple resellers all around the country will have received boxes like this one, and although they haven’t yet seen the insides, the smart money is on it containing a new 3G iPhone.

The fact they’ve only received a single box is put down to it being a promotional unit, with retail units to ship to stores for the reported June 19 release date.

It looks pretty legit to me. And although I haven’t read the NDA that applies to that particular box, here’s hoping that the tape is ripped off at 12:01 next Tuesday – 3 hours before the WWDC kicks off – so we can get all this suspense rubbish out of the way.

    Excitement is building! I can’t wait. Does this mean we will be able to have a look at the new iPhones in store before they launch in Australia?

    can we CT the box…then do a 3D reconstruction of the inside? that should solve the problem.

    12.01 am australian time is in fact when the keynote begins not three hours before.

    God you MUST be kidding.

    The box is upside down, as the circular stamp only appears on the bottom of those kinds of boxes.

    The photo was shot on an iPhone at 2.58pm yesterday.

    Then at 1.25pm today, it was edited in Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 Macintosh to add the black boxes. And other stuff.

    1.25pm is 7 minutes *after* the timestamp of this post.

    Actually, it will be Tuesday June 10, 3:00am on the east coast of Australia when the keynote speech kicks off.

    My call is fake too

  • Ben Anderson

    How can you read that timestamp? Wouldn’t it be in American time anyway?

  • Rusty

    Hate to say this but ill be lining up, and i think this is a fake, Why? Because we would of heard that you could pre-order the iPhone… Plus if Apple was doing this which their NOT. They would have them all shiped on the 9TH and get at your house by 10th… I hope that makes scene.
