January to June: the iPhone's evolution

by Chris Ziegler, posted Jun 9th 2007 at 6:08PM

Believe it or not, the iPhone shown in January wasn't in final, launch-ready form. Crazy, huh? An enterprising individual has managed to compile no fewer than seventeen ways that the phone's software has visibly changed between Macworld and the recent commercials -- and that's just from the few calculated product shots that Apple has seen fit to shown the world, so there's no telling what else they've been brewin'. Most of the changes are super minor (and may not even be software changes, but rather user config or mode changes) like the presence of a Bluetooth icon in the upper right of the idle screen, last updated indicator in the mail screen, and the addition of a "Podcasts" icon in the music player, but hey, it's our job to microanalyze this stuff, right? Click on for the full list with pictures.

Geez, people have way too much time on their hands. Just release the iPhone already so we can forget about it!

I guess I don't understand why people who hate the iphone so much take the time to read each article and then take the time to bash the iphone.... Is it necessary to endulge in what you hate then regurgitate what you you were thinking in word? For Petes sake just skip over the iphone articles and skip the comments section too if you have nothing of value to add. Just my two cents.... now I feel like I've stooped because I'm reading and responding to your valueless comments. Gees.... what a vicious circle. Have a great day and a better life.....without the iphone.

A entry about how the iPhone's time and date has become less bold?

...really?

How about you get us some actual information. Like on Latte's Neon 7 phone. I'm not sure if I want to buy that or not.

And the websites that should be getting me info on that kind of things are to busy reporting about how the header on some standby screens went from darker gray to dark gray.
