iPhone retail packaging revealed in video review (images)

***AppleInsider*** · 06-27-2007, 03:27 PM

An iPhone video review published by USA Today's Edward Baig offers one of the first glimpses of the Apple handset's retail packaging.

The video, published by Baig over on YouTube, supplements the journalist's print review which was posted to the USA Today website shortly after 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday.

Shown in the YouTube video is the iPhone's shoebox-shaped retail packaging, in full jet-black with shiny silver Apple logos and highlights.

Inside each iPhone box is the iPhone itself, a dock, stereo headset, dock connector to USB cable, USB power adapter, documentation, and cleaning/polishing cloth.

Any of these journalists try and plug this thing into a TV yet?

No news today about MS Exchange support thru Active Sync?

Box looks nice and small.... meaning that I hope stores dont run out before I get one on Friday

The box shows 12 buttons.
All the other pictures I've seen only show 11.

You must not have seen any pictures in the last few days then. They've been updated with the 12th (YouTube) button.

Looks pretty much like you'd expect.

Has anyone, anywhere, ever seen a 4gb iPhone?

Louzer · 06-27-2007, 05:31 PM

Ooooh. Now I don't know who expected that. It literally comes in a box! And not just a box, a box with "iPhone" written on it! And a lot of FCC information! And the box is, that's right, rectangular in shape! OMG, I just let loose, if you know what I mean.

Of course, it does seem to be lacking something, like an Apple logo. Probably on some other side.

Isn't that the same thing as an 8GB phone? What's the difference that you'd be looking for?

Reviewers would never get them because you always give the reviewers the top-of-the-line, not the low-end. You want them to feel good from the beginning, instead of "Damn those cheap bastards at apple, sending me a 4GB iPhone! I'll show them, I'm going to diss the lack of an external antenna!"

**Marvin** · 06-27-2007, 05:40 PM

Wait does that say 8GB or 80GB?

I'm disappointed now.

I think they might double sizes before launch... 8 + 16...

Exactly one of my top questions! I fear it may be "no" since Apple's expanded specs page still doesn't mention it. But for showing slideshows and TV/movies at a friend's house--or at MY house instead of AppleTV--video out is important. A great feature of iPods.

Hopefully at least the included dock has video out, like iPod docks have for years, but you'd think reviewers would have noticed the port.

Since it's got WiFi, does it play via airtunes?

That has got to be one of the dumbest placements I've seen.

Ban this jerk from the universe.

Soon there will be a post about how this creep was just trying to help.

Help us by leaving the planet.
