Text of "iPhone Extreme" Spotted at Apple.com [UPDATED]

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007 at 1:55 PM - by

At iPhoneBugList.com, Tom Braselton was looking for a way to automatically submit bugs and enhancement requests directly to Apple. He found a reference to "iPhone Extreme" in the HTML at Apple.com.



If this had been sighted anywhere else, it might have been overlooked or dimissed. However, the page was at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html. iPO checked, and as of this writing, the code is still there on line # 108, vieweable in Safari with View -> View Source.

Considering the naming convention used, in line with Apple's history, this could well launch further speculation about the coming 3G iPhone and its name.

[UPDATE: Reports at other sites and comments here suggest that this was a simple cut and paste error from the duplicated AirPort Extreme pages.]

No iPhone Extreme - Simple answer to why iPhone Extreme is in the code. Sloppy copy and past job by web admin. Apple web staff copied the Airport Extreme Feedback page when creating a the iPhone Feedback Support Page.

I was using the iPhone Feedback page yesterday and I noticed that it had referenced the Airport Extreme Support page on the page not just in the code by mistake instead of iPhone Support. As it appeared to me the Apple website team used the Airport Extreme Feedback page and just copied and modified it to be a iPhone Support page. I have done this many times when creating multiple web pages myself. I wrote into Apple.com website feedback yesterday to let them know that the wording was wrong. Obviously they missed the reference in the code but did correct the wording on the page.

I am 99.9% sure this is the case of Airport Extreme Feedback Page being copied and edited to become an iPhone Feedback Page and sloppy editing became iPhone Extreme by mistake.

Already been fixed. It's gone! If they do come out with that now, I'll sue for a free replacement.

It might not be the right name, but I still bet that a super-iPhone is in the works - perhaps with a bigger screen, and some fancy enterprise stuff like fingerprint reader and fax.
