There have been a lot of claims about the seemingly imminent 3G iPhone. One of them is that the aluminum backing will be replaced by high-quality, glossy-black plastic. Well, AT&T may have inadvertently let the cat out of the bag on that particular rumor.
It seems that a drop-down on the AT&T site for selecting phone model listed iPhone and iPhone Black as multiple options. When this tidbit hit the blogosphere, they were quick to reply, stating that it was simply a “temporary placeholder” to differentiate between the 8GB and 16GB models that hadn’t been properly re-assigned. The fact that screencaps do not show any other visible options or choosing between the two models seems to reinforce their story, though this is for selecting what phone is on your account, not ordering so the capacity may not matter. There’s also the fact that the 16GB has been available for months, which seems to indicate that the codename “iPhone Black” would have to have been “re-assigned“ in the system well before now.
If AT&T’s recent slip-ups regarding free Wi-Fi for iPhones tells us anything about how good they are at keeping a secret, it’s that we wouldn’t recommend telling anyone over there who you have a crush on. Oh, and that there’s probably going to be a black iPhone soon.
