Other features of the iPhone 3G box: metallic gold lettering for the “iPhone 3G” wording, and the iPhone pic on the top of the box is embossed outwards so it stands out slightly.

I’d have taken photos of my own 3G iPhone and box but didn’t want to get in trouble with Apple, lest they’d put a carefully placed scratch somewhere on the box or something so they knew where leaked photos came from.

Apple Australia gave out about half a dozen phones to carefully qualified media a bit over a week ago, under non-disclosure agreement.
