Bitterwallet are reporting that there seems to be some confusion about the new iPhone at the Carphone Warehouse. Apparently when a reader phoned CW to enquire about it they were told:
"that there is NO NEW IPHONE coming out. He suggested I sign up immediately to a £35/month contract for the current iphone and repeated that I SHOULD NOT go onto payg and wait for a new Iphone that is NEVER GOING TO COME OUT. Lovely chap."
Not that anyone for a moment thinks that a mobile phone salesman trying to clear stock of existing iPhones would ever lie, but when other branches were phoned with the same query different responses were received:
Eldon Square, Newcastle:
“I don’t think dates have been released yet, let me check on the internet. It doesn’t say, but I think it’s due for release in July, maybe later than that."
Kings Chase Shopping Centre, Bristol:
“It’s speculation, that’s all it is. Speculation. We haven’t been told there’s a new iPhone. It’s speculation. But it’s speculated that there’ll be a 32Gb handset with a 3.2 megapixel camera and FM radio built in. I can’t advise you whether you should buy now or not.”
Wharfside Shopping Centre, Penzance:
“To be honest, we haven’t been told yet. We’ll probably find out one to two weeks before release. We’re usually the last to know.”
So, is there going to be a new free iPhone this summer or not?! Well, the rumours (see posts below) are incredibly strong and consistent. It seems likely one will be announced either at Apple's WWDC on 8th June or if not at a seperate event at the end of June to coincide with the return of Steve Jobs from illness.
In either event, we recommend following the 3 steps above and getting started towards your new Free iPhone - whether that ends up being the newly released one, or the existing iPhone 3G it doesn't matter as long as it's free right!!
