the event in June

[bigwayne3000]

Ok so we all know this is pretty much the next iphone. In June/July Apple is having that conference, can you see Jobs using the guy who lsot the phone in a comical way at the event? Do you think he'd even make mention of this leak at the event or just try to not even bring it up? I think at this point it'd be hard for him to ignore so I think he could use it as a comical element somehow in his conference.

If the phone we saw was the finished design of the iPhone I can see Steve Jobs mentioning it in passing in a funny way.

Steve doesn't really strike me as having a sense of humor, especially about something like this.

I can't say I believe there'll be any mention of it.

If the iPhone being released is the leaked prototype, he HAS to mention it. I mean, everybody in the room will have seen it so he can't just pretend nobody has and say, "wait til you see this! Surprise!".

He's going to have to come up with a witty joke to introduce the phone and then go on to show some of the new features that we didn't find out by seeing it before the official unveiling.

What happens if apple decides to delay the iPhone back a couple of months because of the leak.

He won't use the guy at the event. I bet he does mention it. He has mentioned past leaks and rumors at events.

how I thought it would happen is, you know how they had a sofa on stage and thats how they introduced the iPad,

well steve jobs would come on stage and tell us the usual sales, stocks boring bit, then he would walk across the stage sit down on the sofa, feel like he has sat on something, reach down the back of the sofa and hey presto pulls out the iPhone that was left/lost there.

I almost spit my Cheerios out my nose:

I can't wait to see Steve jobs waltz out on stage with Gray at WWDC:

"Hello. Good morning. We've got a great program for you today. We've got a lot to talk about. But first I want to address something. Something that happened a couple of months ago.

So- Boom! One day I wake up, and one of my favorite tech news sites has just purchased the lost iPhone that Gray here left on a barstool. Wow. Just incredible. I was pissed. This was generating a *****torm of epic proportions, not to mention blowing up my email account. There was my aluminum and ceramic baby, up for everyone to see.

Well, today we are going to unveil the new iPhone. But it's not going to be what Gizmodo showed. We are not going to take **** from the chess, anime and WOW club. You see, when Gizmodo broke their story, they unwittingly pushed back the redesign. They also ****ed with Gray over here, who happens to be my long lost nephew-in-law who I thought was dead. Those little ***** down at Giz don't understand how ******* crazy I really am. Today, I am going to let them know.

See, Apple has a ******** of cash. We could actually shut down all computer operations and sell PEZ candy- without the ****ing dispensers- for the whole ****ing year. That's right- PEZ. And at the end of the year, our stockholders might be pissed, but so what? **** 'em. We would start back up again, everyone would return to their desks after their year-long paid yoga-world traveling vacations and not skip a beat. In fact, everyone would probably be so ****ing relaxed and happy, we would knock out the itimetravel this year, without needing an ugly Delorean. But I digress.

So, here is what we are going to do today. Here is the new iPhone: boom. Whimper. thud."

(An image of the new iphone shows up on the screen. Gray has picked out Jason Chen in the audience and is saying, without a mic "What's up now bitch?!? You made this- and everyone knows it!" The iPhone looks like a pink Blackberry clamshell, designed by the guys who made the first generation XBOX.)

Steve Jobs continues, "There you go. There it is. the 'IPhone Gizmodo.' Like that Chen? You made me do this. See, I gotta hide the new one for a whole year. Heck, maybe two. But this is what we are putting out this year. That's right- that pink ugly piece of **** you see there. That's online journalism folks. ****ing up the world for everyone. And in particular, Gizmodo, ****ing up the new iPhone for everyone."

(People start to boo- someone throws a container of those crappy theater nachos at Chen.)

"Oh- and one more thing-" (Verizon, T-Mobile and sprint logos pop up.) "The iPhone that Giz broke to the world was going to all these carriers in the US next week. Now it's just the pink one- the new 'IPhone Gizmodo' that's going to everyone. For at least a year. And everyone- you have Gizmodo to thank for this."

(He then looks at Jason Chen in the audience.)

"Screw with me Chen? I've just become more powerful and eccentric than you can possibly comprehend. And you now have a giant target on your back, painted there by everyone who loves the iPhone. Welcome to hell bud."

(Steve is beaming at the audience.)

"So for anyone who cares, you can find the offices of Gizmodo on the web. Google it. Or Bing it. I don't really give a ****. Just go tell them hello. Tell them hello from 'El Jobso.' Security- escort Chen out of the building. Out the FRONT door. In about five minutes. When the rioting crowd has really picked up steam. That's it, see you in 12 months. Maybe."

I think you missed this:

I certainly did.

It was probably written for him.

 

[androiphone]

he's another:

steve jobs it telling us something on the sofa, he then gets up to walk over to the platform to give us a demonstration of the iphone, like he does, part way there he pats his pockets, turns around back to the sofa where he left the iPhone (perhaps saying thank goodness gizmodo isnt here (esp. if they are not invited))

If the phone we saw was the finished design of the iPhone I can see Steve Jobs mentioning it in passing in a funny way.

Absolutely zero possibility of this happening EVER.



No but really it would be nice if he did I think. At the original iPhone launch he said "This is what it looks like" with a picture of an iPod with telephone dial:

At the iPad launch he put up the Commandments quote:

I can see something like this happening.

I doubt they want to give Gizmodo any press.

 

[ipedro]

Ha! androiphone, good one. Here's another variation:

Steve is about to introduce the iPhone.

"And I have it right here". Pats his pockets, can't find it. Looks to the audience: "Jaaaasoooon..." Smiles and pulls out the phone. Camera focuses on Jason Chen red as a tomato.

if what we have seen isnt the final product, he might say "i'm aware that the new iphone leaked a little while ago, and because of that we couldn't let that spoil the surprise of the new iphone" or something to that extent
