Rumor: New iPhone to be called "iPhone Video?"
Further fueling the iPhone fire (try saying that one five times fast), TUAW has received an anonymous tip stating that AT&T's support website will be updated with "iPhone Video" as one of the model choices when choosing Apple as the phone manufacturer.While I only see the original iPhone and 3G choices on the support site now, it stands to reason that this photo may have been taken from a screen showing unpublished support content. Click the image for the full-res photo.
This adds to some already interesting news, reported earlier by AppleInsider, that new model placeholders have begun appearing in inventory for Carphone Warehouse, a retailer that resells the iPhone. These models were labeled with a "V3", which could simply mean Version 3, or the V may also stand for "Video" or "Video 3G". Other retailers have also recently reported additional entries or placeholders showing up in their inventories, and many carriers have also received end of life notices for the current 3G models.
So even if a new model isn't announced at WWDC, it's a pretty safe bet that Apple has something in the pipeline.

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the possibilities of flash capibilities on the new iphone. That would be a huge achievment for the mobile market and a large enough one to warrant the name iphone video.

No, Interactive iPhone is the name of the new iPhone. I was just saying that whoever has that domain name is probably going to get a big check or be sued by Apple.

Somebody probably extended the selection box in photoshop and then covered up their dirty work by adding a filter to make it look like the image was taken with a bad camera.

1) Put this address into your browser
https://www.wireless.att.com/support/content.do?page=phone-device-support
2) Then put this address into your browser
javascript:void(function(){attAppleArray.push("('iPhone Video','iPhoneVideo')");var f=document.selectDevice;populateModel(f,f.make.options[f.make.selectedIndex].value);}())
3) Check you now have the iPhone Video option
Two months ago we exhausted all the name permutations for the next iPhone:
