Could this be the new iPhone 2?
Apple has taken delivery of 188 shipping containers of a product type never before declared on its transport documents. ImportGenius, a website that tracks US Customs’ records of ocean containers entering US ports, says that that containers have been arriving since mid-March, labelled “electric computers”.
ImportGenius’ Ryan Petersen said that the new label suggests that Apple is gathering supplies of the rumoured 3G iPhone, which Apple chief executive SteveJobs is widely expected to unveil next month.
“They have never before reported this product on their customs declarations,” said Petersen in a post on the ImportGenius blog. “The fact that they are importing millions of units, combined with dwindling stocks of the first generation of iPhones, clearly supports the … predictions.”
He adds that overer the last few months shipments of “desktop computers” and other devices have not declined, indicating that the “electric computers” represent a new product for the company rather than a simple renaming for their Customs declarations.
