74.40 gigs? Capicity listed in Activation Vid

[mterlouw]

This photo contradicts itself. The iPhone capacity is shown twice, with drastically different values each time.

I don't know of any manufacturers making a flash storage that large...

its possible, but not currently.

this article was from over a year ago....granted this thing costs 3grand!!

I'm inclined to believe the 80gig values, as the other info, name, serial number, etc, are all stored values in .plists or something somewhere. However, the bar on the bottom isn't likely to show values that are that far off the mark.

That is a very good point.

The only thing I will note is that when you sync an iPod you can pick whatever name you want so if I wanted to call my iPod Alex's iPhone I could. So the name is of little help here, but it is difficult to reconcile how the same iPhone or iPod, whatever it is, could present two very different capacities.

Since January iv been expecting Apple to so "oops we meant 40gb and 80gb not 4 and 8, our bad "

I think it's just Apple having fun with their bigger HD iPhones hoping no one would notice.

Apple: "Oh sorry, that's a mistake. We were just using a iPhone v2 prototype because we didn't want to waste a production iPhone."

Hey, we can hope right?

It's a slip up, because everything he added to that iPhone would deffinitely not amount to 60 GB of stuff ( i think that's about what it was ). He added some songs, some contact info, one TV show, and one movie. Typo!

there are already a thousand threads about that, and it's just a mistake, because the itunes shown on the vid is not a actual version on a mac os X it's a upgraded one. that's why the status bar is in a different color: see photo:

if the capacity has jumped then i'm getting one this weekend. oh my wife is going to be pissed.

which would be probably 80gigs with software

they probably just used an 80gig ipod. I highly doubt they would advertise 4 and 8 and then all the sudden come out with 80. absurd.

They did it with the original MacBook Pro.

They already corrected the video on the website, so the total on the bar matches the 7.27 at the top.

Big chance ther will, but the one on the activation vid is not a real running itunes on a computer because the resolution is too big.

 

[terrrrrible]

C'mon, stop with this crap. It was an editing mistake, the phones are still going to be 4gig and 8gig.

 

[lofight]

Do you really think iPhone will come with 80GB of storage; then it would cost a little more i think...

 

[JMax1]

It was done on purpose and as a publicity stunt

I expect it either today or tomorrow...also, there will be an update to Address Book as well. In The tutorial video when he shows how to add a new Contact in the Phone, there is a tab for the contact called "Ringtones." I imagine you can set each persons ringtone...likely to be updated as well.

But you can't choose your MP3's for a persons maybe your ringtones that come standard with he iPhone

Yeah, they bumped the specs, but not 10X what was advertised.
