Most of the time these code finds are real. I think this one is real, too. The naming convention makes sense (think Airport Extreme). I think this one is coming for real - possibly by Christmas.
The iPhone is the iPhone is the iPhone. There's no iPhone extreme coming out. There may very well be an iPhone nano coming out, but iPhone extreme, give me a break. When the iPhone gets a 3G chip it will still be called iPhone. End of discussion. What discussion? Yeah, what discussion.
Wowwwww, it's EXTREEEEEEEEME. It'll make me want to surf naked with my hair on fire!!!
Seriously, I hate names like that. So played out. \

As much as I hate to say it I don't really like the nae either, I don't really think it's true though. BTW, the comment above was hilarious, that's my quote of the day.
This was a pretty awesome find Tom. Even if it turns out to be nothing, i'm impressed. Even better I'm watching war games and the NORAD computer has 9 of the 10 launch codes and is about to blow a gasket over losing a simple game of tic-tac-toe. i'm not sure what that has to do with HTML in the apple website, but if you find the code, "joshua" please alert a dr. stephan falken before contacting an apple chat board.
Have a look at the source for http://www.apple.com/feedback/airportextreme.html where you see the code is almost identical bar the product name. All these feedback pages will be generated dynamically from a standard template page with URL redirectionto make it look like they are separate HTML pages to make them search engine friendly. All feedback pages will use the same script to send the input data back to the right place, so they need the hidden variable to identify whether the feedback came from the iPhone feedback form or the form for airport, .mac, macbook etc.
In fact then this will be a typo in the script that inserts the product name into the HTML code which they probably copied and pasted from the line that inserted "Airport Extreme" into the HTML if you had "airportextreme" in the URL and a negligent coder accidently missed deleting the Exteme and because it is in a hidden variable rather than visible on the page, the mistake did not get picked up prior to publication.
I am sorry to dash all your hopes, but the other feedback pages all have the same product name in the hidden variable as shows on the page. They would not have a feedback form for all iPhones and then put a specific model in the hidden variable, let alone one for an unannounced product.
Credit for this find goes out to Tom over at the iPhoneBugList, who stumbled upon the reference while attempting to interface his own site with Apple's iPhone feedback form (which is where the reference was spotted).
Tom really needs to get either a job, girlfriend, hobby or a dog (or any combination hereof)
I mean do some people rummage through the trash in Cuppertino as well (uh they had loads of espresso must be busy) or the private trash of the employees to get rumors ?
What I really want is an iPhone where I can install 3rd party software (never mind the SIM lock - cant have the cake AND eat it)
When SJ introduced the iPhone he said it was a new product line, like the iPod is its own product line. With that in mind, there have been many varieties of the iPod over time and it stands to reason that the same will be seen with the iPhone line. That's not to say that this hidden tag has any relevance whatsoever.
Just keep in mind that like the iPod, more iPhones are sure to come.
I will be care-less for an iPhone nano. Meanwhile, since Steve said something like lowering the price for the 'holiday season', I believe that there will be something coming up during MWSF regarding to the iPhone.

Apple should probably wait until next year to intro more models... there's a big bowl of hate going around right now what with the idiot amateur hacker bricks making the 10 o'clock news.

That's because the holiday buying season is when Apple gets its best iPod sales volumes. Apple sold almost twice as many iPods in the last holiday season as they did in the following quarters. It's just too good of an opportunity to pass up
Good thing this was a mistake iPhone Extreme would be the worst name for the iPhone's sequel. At best it could refer to a 3G model with 16gb flash mem, but even then it's still a terrible name.

Hihihihi...
I hope they have a better name than that.
iPhone Fabulous.
And they need to add a Booty Call button to the home page.

Rather unusual name for Apple. Perhaps a "gaming" iPhone?
The only other product Apple has used "Extreme" with is the Airport Extreme... right?
So is there some other Wi-Fi component that has been missing from the iPhone? VOIP you say?

Hello! I'm 39,900 pennies of FABULOUS!
But I'll go along with the idea that it's just a template that was copied and not fully corrected.

Airport Extreme followed Airport when moving from 802.11b to 802.11g logic follows that the iPhone Extreme will be 3G.
