Apple & AT&T Ad confirms iPhone "Coming June 29th"
The release date of the iPhone has finally been confirmed, Apple and AT&T advertised tonight on television that the iPhone will be available starting on June 29th, 2007.
Though the ad was first available as a YouTube video, Apple has now posted three iPhone ads on their website.
The YouTube videos of all the three ads as well as some observations from the ads are available after the jump.
The YouTube videos of the iPhone ads:
The iPhone ads demonstrate the various functions/features of the iPhone. Baron58 had some observations to make about the ads.
- Logo on the phone is 'AT&T' not 'at&t'
- Date (on iPhone) is 3 June (today), nice touch Time (on iPhone) is 9:42 all the way through on all three ads. Faked for consistency, obviously.
- Icons on the main screen are in a different order than in the older pictures.
- The 'Web' button/icon at the bottom of the screen has been renamed to 'Safari', presumably to build brand awareness and make it easier for people when they see references to 'Safari' on websites (for compatibility, say).
- 2 year contract required, no other details (i.e., no separate statement about voice vs. data service)
So thanks to Apple and AT&T we will no longer have any speculations on when the iPhone will be released.
I guess at the end of the day amongst all the rumors of the iPhone release date, Engadget's got it right towards the end.
