Nice try, but that’s no new iPhone

We’re less than a week away from Apple’s WWDC keynote, and the latest in iPhone rumors has risen to the surface, from Italian Apple blog, iSpazio (Babel Fish translation).

The images that were posted are apparently from an image of the iPhone page on Apple’s website—the page that would be updated as new hardware is unveiled. The phone looks plausible, granted, but things feel a little fake around the edges for me. Either Apple needs to tighten its website security, or someone has a little too much free time to play with Photoshop.

The height of the volume and vibrate/ringer switch, for example, doesn’t seem consistent from all three angles. In the far-most left image, the vibrate/ringer switch appears to be slightly lower.

If we’re looking at the apps on screen, where’s the new audio recording application that Apple showed us along with iPhone OS 3.0? Oh, and isn’t “Text” renamed to “Messages” in 3.0? Surely Apple wouldn’t have used old software on their brand new hardware?

It’s great to see so many mockups of iPhones just before WWDC. There’s some creative talent out there, that’s for sure, but there’s only one Jonathan Ive, so let’s see what he and his team have come up with for the third generation of the ever-popular iPhone.
