"iPhone Black" appears on AT&T ordering site

by Erica Sadun May 12th 2008 at 2:15PM

Apple Insider reports that AT&T customers can now choose Apple iPhone Black. This option appears on the AT&T page for upgrading or replacing phones. It reinforces the black-shell rumor that our big sister blog Engadget has been covering. Conventional wisdom still says "June" for the next-gen iPhone release. Might it be "May" instead?

So the question is: can anyone who spends way too much time on the AT&T site confirm that the iPhone listing did not say "black" before? If not, they obviously went out of their way to change it.

TUAW is sooo slow getting these news things up. Makes me wonder why there are 17 bloggers here now, when some big apple related story or rumor has been on nearly every other tech site, including the sister site linked at the bottom of every TUAW page, for over half the day.

This is fake. In case you haven't noticed already, Apple has been moving AWAY from black glossy plastic - everything is now aluminum. After all, weren't we just hearing that the MacBooks are going to go aluminum this summer? Why would Apple make everything metal except for their flagship portable device?

The specs are probably accurate, but that image is not.

nothing says the phone will actually be black, or if it is black that it will be glossy. Probably just anodized aluminum, black of course.

I wonder if Apple will put a premium price on to it like the black MacBooks...

Apparently all phones are being given a 'black' option on the AT&T site... a bug perhaps?

nooo...as i've posted on all the other comment threads, it is just the phones that have multiple colors or more than one model, such as the BlackJack.

Agree with Mark2000, the current iPhone is "Black."

Looking at the AT&T site, it seems that they add color labels such as "Black" to a lot of phones. Is it possible that the current phone will simply just be revamped with a new look, and the 3G phone will be a total redesign?

That's not the upgrade page, its the current device page. It may mean the current iPhone is the "black" model. The new 3G or whatever it is may come in multiple colors and possibly be the same design as the 2G one.
