"Deep red" iPhone in the works for AT&T?

by Chris Ziegler, posted Oct 12th 2007 at 5:53PM

With iPod shuffles and nanos available in a variety of shades, it only makes sense to bring the love to the iPhone too, right? AT&T's internal inventory sheet is apparently now showing iPhones in "deep red" (we probably would've gone with something a little more neutral like black for the first new color, but whatevs) though we don't have any information beyond that. No release date, no picture, nothing. The presence of a 4GB variant of the deep red iPhone here has a little skeptical, considering how its silver sib just got the ax, but who knows -- maybe Apple figures a dirt cheap model colored to match Festivus decorations will sell like gangbusters.

Wouldn't that just mean a PRODUCT[RED] version of the iPhone? I'd imagine they'd offer one by the Holidays, since Apple is a strong supporter of that charity.

zomfg PRODUCT(red) iPhonez!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...I could really care less if Apple opts to use a charity to sell some more iPhones.

"Oh, but we'll donate $10 to (insert lost cause here)!!!!!"

Um, if I wanted to donate $10 to a lost cause, I'd hand a 10 to some homeless person, not buy a $400 phone.

Engadget comments would be a much better place if they added a filter to toss comments with a "LOL" or more than one consecutive "ha" or "!"

They are probably taking the unsold 4gigs, painting them red, then reselling them

Or, it could be code for the 4gb = 8gb and 8gb = 16 :-) When are those due to release?

I work for AT&T and that is definitely a screen shot from our POS system OPUS. Who knows whether or not the text was photoshopped though?

James James James...you can be fired for that my dear boy...you actually shouldn't even share anything about OPUS (even the title)...Remember during training all of those papers you had to read and sign? Yeah, those are there for a reason. So, at least change your posting name or something to be safe...they're pretty serious about internal info being leaked and will do what they can to track you down...trust me. AT&T is a big company, with a lot of eyes out there...and it's not like Engadget is a small little no-name blog...I left the company and had to return every document that had internal information or i might have been subject to prosecution.
