Take it for what it's worth (which may be nothing, quite honestly), but a bona fide "iPhone 32GB" placeholder has appeared in the 'Coming Soon' section on
T-Mobile Austria's website. Generally speaking, we wouldn't give this kind of slip too much credence, but considering that a
similar slip at T-Mobile Germany was accurately foretelling two years ago, we're cautiously optimistic that all those
rumors of a
more capacious iPhone are legitimate. We hate to remind you that loads of smoke generally leads to fire, but hey,
June 8th ain't too far off anyway. Larger screen cap (of the translated-to-English site) is just past the break.

Update: Seems the admin yanked the 32GB iPhone from the page -- oopsie!
Update 2: Looks like Vodafone Australia has
sent out a notice that the 16GB iPhone has been deemed "End of Life" by Brightpoint, who supplies its iPhones. Are you thinking what we're thinking?

I don't think anybody has to *try* to look smart compared to you.
*yawn*
Please, try again.
WINMORULEZ!!!
OH MY EFFING GAWD. REALLY?!?!?! OMGGGG THATS AMAZING! WOW!!!
A fan of sarcasm? Or just an annoying idiot?
Also this is nothing new. Just another hint that adds to the mounting "new iphone soonish" rumors. Then again it is also another reason for fanboy arguments, and they are my favorite.
G'day mate. How about we put some shrimp on the barbie hey?
Austria not Australia
Do you really think that us Aussies speak German?
Neither do austrians ;)
the hills. they are alive. with the sound of rumors.
+1 for Dumb and Dumber reference. -1 for all you dumbasses with no sense of humor.
@maruchino
Do you think Austrians speak Austrian?
WTF. He's downranked? Serious humour fail geeks.
Who thinks Apple are starting to ramp up the rumours to steal as much thunder from the Pre launch?
Do you think that Apple is the only company who will want to combat the release of the Palm Pre and potential lost custom? Put another way, do you think it is coincidental that we're more about the BlackBerry Storm 2? All smartphone manufacturers are on-alert at the moment and trying to do what they can to ensure that the Pre does not take away their customers.
Mmm, no. I don't actually believe Apple forced T-Mobile to accidentally put up the ad for the 32GB iPhonethen take it down, mostly because Apple has a history of doing exactly the opposite and not letting anybody say anything about any upcoming products.
You would have to be some kind of tinfoil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist on crack to actually believe Apple had anything to do with that.
Fake (the offer I mean, not that there is a 32GB iPhone coming, we all know it'll happen)
Since when is the AT Site part English & German?!?
It's part translated on Google Translate numskull
They used "Google translate", thats why some stuff are in english.
@Well "some stuff are in english.".... Someone Google Translate this post in to English.
most. boring. "news". ever.
Engadget is a BLOG, not a news site. If you want news, go to a news site.
thank you captain obvious.
See 4 yourself, this is not fake: http://shop.t-mobile.at/0019/1_1_2/10005/index.html&arrMeta=0&prebook=1&cardreset=1&resetpromo=1
OMG you mean a new iPhone might be coming out this year, what totally like cutting edge news OMG
Did you miss the part about T-Mobile?
That's T-Mobile Austria. AT&T's exclusivity contract is only in the US
yay austria!
Not exactly shocking news but does at least confirm rumors. This said, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to predict that the new iPhone was going to increase its storage since that pretty much happens with every iPhone/iPod update.
They've taken it off now, seems someone's got a bollocking!
It looks fugly though :(
would be nice if it had a pic you know
Just imagine your regular 2G iPhone (8GB or 16GB, your choice) in that spot and you got it.
I'd say this is almost certainly the real deal!
Sadly i increased space is going to be a key selling point for the iphone then truly, the end is near for the iphone..
I'm sorry, what planet are you from again? Because it's not this one.
What it looks like is that the current 16GB is going to get refereshed and Apple will release a new 32GB model... But nobody mentioned the 8GB being discontinued which leads me to believe that, the 8GB model will be the new "cheap" iPhone!
It might look like this come July:
iPhone 8GB - $99 or Prepaid* --- Current Model/3.0 OS/No New Hardware
iPhone 16GB - $199 --- New Model/3.0 OS/New Hardware
iPhone 32GB - $299 --- New Model/3.0 OS/New Hardware
*The 8GB *might* be available on prepaid to lure those prepaid users who don't want to sell their souls to a carrier or it *might* be left at $99 price-point to lure more teenyboppers.
What do you guys think? is it possible or no?
@GenoMalice
Sounds pretty good man, However!, I don't think they'll stick with the 16GB. I'm thinking they'll just have the 8GB and the 32GB. mMm I keep asking the Apple Customer Support people and they always dodge the question haha
why don't they just include micro sd slots?
I hope they bump the classic and screen res. It bollocks having to have 2 copies of every video file.
I recently cleaned out my itunes of all the nonsense I would never listen to ever again.
Now I am at 9 gigs, and there's tons of stuff I would never want to listen to, still.
I understand there is a type of person who has over 30 gigs of music and wants it all on him all the time for if he ever wants to hear one particular song out of thousands, but that person is not me.
A keyboard is more important, and Sprint's network. Palm Pre for me.
I can type 50 words a minute on the iPhone keyboard, with two thumbs. Kinda puts a hole in your "I need a keyboard" nonsense, eh?
I dont really think that one person's ability to use the iPhone keyboard quickly is reason enough for their never to be a hardware keyboard. I use my iPhone keyboard with relative ease however I would honestly prefer a well built slide out keyboard as an option as well. I have always had an easier time with a physical keyboard then a touchscreen one, although I will agree that the iPhones touch keyboard is highly usable.
@Dan
Write "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis" 50 times
GO!
*probably waits more than 60 seconds.*
Dan, I don't care how fast you can type. I like to have a real keyboard, FOR ME.
iPhone users are so sensitive and paranoid it's disgusting. Even if it's not the keyboard, AT&T is another problem.
My only question is, Would I give up my Berry even if it's true?....... Nah
i not greedy but i want 64GB iphone
I'm greedier. I want a 1 TB iPhone. :P
Only if I can EASILY use it as a flash drive. 3 gigs of music, and running out of ideas.
Please god yes.
My 32GB Touch barely holds my music; the lower size of the iPhone is the only thing keeping me from getting one (that, and the fact that in Canada, cell phone companies are legally allowed to bend us over and... well, you get the picture).
aaahahaha! ....Canada
Right now Optus in Australia is flogging off their 3G iPhones fairly cheaply. $49 a month plan and you get the phone free. Kind of tempting. Obviously dumping them for the new toy coming soon.
I think we're overlooking something here. Yes, new 32gb iPhone, no surprise there. But why would they discontinue the 16gb version and leave an 8gb version and a 32gb version. Could this schism relate to the introduction of a smaller "iPhone Nano" type device?
Why do you immediately assume they are discontinuing the 16GB line instead of just refreshing it with the latest hardware? That is a much more likely scenario.
Yep. There will be an all new 16GB iPhone along with the 32GB one. You know the standard rumors, much more powerful, more internal memory, better camera, yadda yadda.
First i thought they would stop making the 16GB but now, I agree with Zak. It just seems logical.
Check out the previous rumours from the last few weeks. The 8 gig is going and the 16 and 32 are the new iphone memory sizes.
New design too apparently. The silver edge is going and being replaced by a 'rubberised' back with a glowing apple.
