No, the WWDC banner doesn’t reveal an iTablet.

WWDC Banner
The folks over at 9to5Mac on Thursday posted a news item entirely about the leaked WWDC photo you see above. The article in question, if you can call it that, has an ultra-cropped version of the photo zeroing in on the iPhone in the background poster. Their charge is that the iPhone is much too square, even compensating for the squishing effects of foreshortening, to be the iPhone. Could it be the iTablet?

No.

Next time, perhaps we should physically experiment before trusting our eyes. In Photoshop, I used the distort tool to take the banner out of its perspective and lay it flat, dragging it out so the iPhone appears normal. If the iPhone was indeed an iTablet, then the MacBook Air in the background would appear very stretched. As you can see below, neither is the case.

Better questions about this banner are: what are some of the icons, and what does the blue and purple merging mean? My theory is that it is the iPhone OS and Mac OS merging into Mac OS Touch, the successor to Mac OS X. We’ll find out for sure at WWDC.
