One of tomorrow's announcements? iPhone HD (Update - it's a fake)

by Steven Sande Jun 6th 2010 at 5:30PM

Pursuitist claimed to have photos from a "European insider at TBWA/Chiat/Day," the advertising agency for Apple worldwide. We'll send you to Pursuitist to view the photos in deference to their find, but we are showing you a photo (above) snapped inside of Moscone Center that displays the iPhone HD.

Pursuitist also notes that the device will be offered in all white and all black, although the Moscone photo appears to show the phone in a rainbow of colors. Other features include a front-facing camera with video chat and an upgrade to iChat, better battery life, a camera with higher resolution (and a flash), and advanced apps management and multitasking with iPhone OS 4.0.

Of course, this could be a last-minute "leak" to throw off all of us bloggers, but the consensus seems to be that the new iPhone will carry the iPhone HD moniker. Only during tomorrow's WWDC keynote will we know for sure.

Update: As numerous commenters are noting, the photo we're showing above has apparently been around for awhile. We receive so many faked images every day that it's sometimes hard to keep 'em straight. Sorry! However, you may want to still take a look at the Pursuitist post to see the gallery of photos that they're displaying, which may be just as fake.

This is why tuaw is no longer in my RSS reader (heard about the article from TWiT). tuaw is so trigger happy to post anything that a 7 year old can draw a rectangle with a crayon and if I sent it in claiming it was the next iPhone, they'd post it.

Fake or not, iPhone HD is still the best bet for the new iPhone's name. iPhone 4G is *extremely* unlikely because it's not going to be 4G capable; using the 4G moniker would simply create customer confusion.

Since the larger screen size is almost guaranteed at this point, and it'll most likely have HD video recording to keep up with competition, the "HD" moniker seems most appropriate.

Also, John Gruber, who has a knack for letting slip inside knowledge, has been referring to it as the iPhone HD.

Fake Schmake - who cares. This whole 'flat edges' and new larger size makes me think it'll be akin to holding my Apple TV to my nappy head.

After the whole Gizmodo mess, I can't believe a reputable blog like TUAW would put up fake pix. I know they post "rumor" posts, but come on, how can we take you seriously. 99% of the post are iPhone or iPhone dev, the Mac posts are days late, I rely more on Engadget, or Gizmodo or MacWorld for real Apple news or tips.

I hope TUAW starts allocating more time and resources on real Apple news, and stop with the falk/rumor/wishlist iPhone posts.

The ad is definitely a fake. iPhone 4G seems to be the most logical name to match the company's naming conventions if it's a 4G offering, otherwise we might see something like iPhone 3GX or something like that too. iPhone HD seems to be plausible, but Apple would need to do a big bump on the screen to justify that.

I disagree almost entirely with your post. Until there is a 4G network to run it on, there will be no iPhone 4G. The convention you refer to, refers to the network not to the generation of phone. I think iPhone HD is much more likely a name, although I still think Apple will surprise us with it's name.

Nothing about that picture resembles an Apple ad. It looks like a fourth grader went to town with scissors and glue.

Yet another feather in the cap of whatever it is TUAW calls reporting. You guys are an embarrassment.

I was chewed out for noting that they were 5 hours late last week by Vertigo and delphinus87. You guys are saying that TÚAW is awful. Nice. *Anticipates Angry Comments*
