There have been conflicting reports over the past couple days on whether or not the 3G iPhone is physically present in North America and Canada specifically or if it is delayed globally.
First of all Import Genius claims that Apple received a shipment of 188 ocean containers of potentially the 3G iPhone. The customs declaration declared the items as 'electric computers'. This is something that Apple has never declared to customs before. Additonally 44 containers were destined for Vancouver, BC. Yay! That's exciting stuff. I wish I knew someone working at the port who had access to these types of things or could collect that box that fell off the truck.
On the flip side, there are now rumors that the 3G iPhone could be delayed? Oh no! Why? Analysts are saying so because the supposed maker of the 3G iPhone chip has forecasted a decline in profits due to less than anticipated HSDPA chip sales. People determined that maker Infineon would supply the 3G iPhone chip because a code for their chip was buried deep with the iPhone SDK coding. If the 3G iPhone is in fact delayed, it will be a little disappointing as we are all excited and very anxious to see what we will be able to officially get our hands on here in Canada. However, it may not make much difference because I don't think Rogers will be releasing it right away as it becomes available. I think Rogers is going to wait a couple months.
I'm almost getting tired of hearing so many rumors. June 9th isn't that far away but it seems like an eternity where there is a new rumor everyday.
