There's been plenty of conjecture (
pictured) about a 16GB iPhone -- and its mysterious absence from the initial lineup -- ever since the
16GB iPod touch graced us all with its minuscule presence, but things are starting to look up. We just got a pair of tips purporting inside AT&T info that both point to the 16GB iPhone showing up shortly. One person spotted the phone in AT&T Wireless inventory, listed as not in stock, while the other tipster was fairly certain about a release this Tuesday or the next one. Obviously this is all hearsay at the moment, so don't go hawking that 8 gigger just yet, but we'll see if Apple's going to serve us up a Papa Bear-sized portion of gigabytes soon enough.
Update: We just received word from multiple sources that the O2 staff has been notified of the 16GB iPhone launch at 1:30pm UK time. Price: £329. That will likely translate to
$599 in the US like the original 8GB iPhone.

fake ?!
might not be...but will be high in price,the 8gig is like 424 after taxes with no discounts for new customers...viva la jobs
Judging from the photos:
Before: sharp
After: blurry
I want none of this blurry "16GB" nonsense.
;-)
Note how the operating system takes up zero space on the new 16gig iphones. Amazing!!
Ya man! Amazing. And no User name either. Simply the "iPhone".
I wonder why the time on the pics are exactly the same? and the glares shine on the same spot. And the first 4 serial number were totally erased on the blurred on the supposed 16-gigger. Obviously fake!
No 3G no care.
Apple store is down in U.S.
Like the guy above said, this is nothing without 3G and other improvements.
Another thing that is a pet peeve of mine... why is this labeled 16GB and not 14.5 GB?
That always irks me
Its on Att's website!!! You have to go under Apple and BAM! the first phone is a 16 gig iPhone for $499 not $599
Its acctually now on Apple's Website too. And the iTouch got a boost to 32gigs
Comfirmed. $499.99 for the 16 GB iPhone at AT&T. Some stores even have them in stock today.
They could make it 100GB for $499 without upgrading to 3G or any of the many, many other features people have been screaming for since day one and I still wouldn't bite. You think you have market domination Apple? Add 3G, video, a flash, etc. and watch your market share increase exponentially.
That just wouldn't be the Apple way though, would it? Nope. Release one or two new features at a time and milk the customer for everything they are worth.
