Is this the new iphone?

3G iPhone?
I know, we’ve seen that question a lot over the past couple of weeks. And since we’re less than 24 hours away from the expected announcement, posting newly “leaked” images is much ado about nothing. But, we received this tip nonetheless, and thought we’d pass the images along to you just so you can add them to your rumor collection.

The image above comes form web-mobile.net (you know, in case you missed the subtle watermark). It’s a French site, which I translated into English at Alta Vista and got commentary such as this:

Following a too important multitude visitors on the site (more than 710 users single into simultaneous yesterday evening, 924 today, which resulted in to make crasher the waiter), we decided to make this page, history to show you essence and to keep the fast waiter!

There’s a forum at the site with comments that dig deeper, and many that are even more hilarious after the translation, but I’ll leave you to discover that on your own. In the meantime, the image above simply presents a wider model (effectively killing the widescreen display) with an aluminum or grey appearance. The circle up by the ear speaker could be the video camera for live video chatting. It’s the image below that leads me to believe these are fakes.

3G iPhone

First of all, it doesn’t appear as wide as the front image above. Second, only the Apple logo and camera remain. Where’s the iPhone label, the GB size, the serial and FCC numbers, etc.? Apple’s just going to drop that information? They’re allowed to?

No. Looks as if we’ll have to wait just a little bit longer to find out what’s going on, and you’ll be able to do so right here at Appletell tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. PST for our live blog of the keynote. See you then…provided our waiters don’t crasher.
