New iPhone To Have iChat? [Updated: Fake]

iSpazio are showing pictures of the rumoured new iPhone Video using an iChat App.

iPhone iChat 1

This shows the frontal camera being used in what appears to be the Camera App showing the interface that has been leaked out by developers who found it in the new iPhone OS 3.0.

iPhone iChat 2

This shows a somewhat blurry picture of the new iPhone in a video call, it looks similar to video calling on other devices with a small image of you in the corner and them in the main screen similar to iChat.

This seems quite authentic as previous leaks have shown a frontal camera and that’s mainly what a frontal camera is used for.

UpdateGizmondo have done a side by side comparison of the leaked image and Skype and they match perfectly, however there still is a possibility of a frontal facing camera.

New iPhone Specs & Prices?

These pictures are from a Canadian store inventory. iSpazio got sent these pictures earlier.

These pictures show the following:

  • There are 2 Models: iPhone Video and iPhone Video iChat
  • The iPhone 3G 16GB being discontiuned as previously leaked.
  • Only the second model can videocall
  • 32 GB – 64 GB memory
  • The iPhone Video is in Black and White
  • The iPhone Video iChat is in various color: White , Black, Orange, Green with Flower, Yellow, Red.
  • The price for the iPhone Video is: $139 (32 GB) or $179 (64 GB)
  • The price for the iPhone Video iChat is: $179 (32 GB) or $199 (64 GB)

However no 16GB model, which leads me to believe these might not be authentic as all the leaks so far have shown a 16GB model.
Also the multiple different design choices, including flowers and fluffy bunnies just make this seem very fake as Apple likes to keep things simple and Apple have never used flowers or fluffy bunnies on their other devices.

Is This The New iPhone?

A french blog has leaked these pictures out of what appear to be the new iPhone, to be released at WWDC on Monday.

New iPhone Back-Front

The new pictures seem to fit with the other leaked images and rumours of the new phones features.

iPhone Front LeakiPhone Back Leak

The model in the pictures is running is running iPhone OS 3.0. It shows what seems to be a front facing camera, perhaps video calling?
The matte back and black bezel which seems very consistent with the leaks and rumours so far.
Also it shows it’s a 16GB model, as all of the leaked images do.

As we are getting ever-closer to WWDC on Monday the leaks seem more consistent therefore I believe that maybe this is what we will see on Monday.

The New iPhone Will Have a 16GB Model

You may of heard about the takedown that sites have got about the leak of the 16GB model to become end of life, however New iPhone Back 1this won’t affect the new model it will just mean that they will stop selling 16GB iPhone 3G’s therefore doing this, the market will move onto the new model.

Also the new iPhone Back shows 16GB and so did the Carphone Wearhouse inventory placeholders, along with most of the leaked pictures.

New iPhone To Be Called iPhone Video?

According to a anonymous tip, I assume from an AT&T worker, the new iPhone is said to be called the iPhone Video.
This could link back to the Carphone Warehouse’s Inventory holder which referenced the new phone as “iPhone32GbV3″ and iPhone 16GbV3″, I’m guessing the V would either stand for version or perhaps video.

As with all leaks and tip offs take it with a pinch of salt as nothing is confirmed until Monday at WWDC.

More Leaked iPhone Pictures?

Yet more leaked iPhone pictures have been circulating around the internet, once again the black bezel is shown along with the higher speaker.
