Loading ...A letter sent to the FCC from Apple back on October 12tth 2006 has surfaced. Apple requested for numerous documents related to the iPhone to remain confidential. Great find LoopRumors [via World of Apple]!
“…the public disclosure of the above mentioned documents might be harmful to [Apple] and would give a competitor an unfair advantage in the market.â€
The letter insists that details should ideally be kept confidential until June 15, 2007. Perhaps the iPhone's release date is June 16th, 2007?

If we take it as given that this is a legitimate document, then I would make the assumption that the iPhone is scheduled to debut BEFORE the June 15th date. Apple wouldn’t let the FCC release the information until AFTER they had done it themselves.
If we absolutely had to pick a date, I’d go with June 12, during the Worldwide Developers Conference. The same day that Leopard is released, perhaps?
Just a little something I came up with:
Soon, Apple will take over the middle East… They will take over Iraq and Iran and they will become iRaq and iRan and everyone will live in iHouses with iCars and iFamilies. the iHouse will run off of an iMac and everyone will have iPods and iPhones.. it will all be one iHell…
iRan will be a glossy white, while iRaq will be glossy black. The iRanians won’t like the iRaqi’s because they think they are better than them.
But when all hope will seemed to be lost, Good ol’ Zunezibar will try to save them all, offering more options and better layout. But, the good people of iRaq and iRan won’t be able to get away from the dictatorship that is Apple…
Dragod u’r a dumbass
Hello well June 15 would happen to be……hmm……WWDC 07. Thats prabally why he is letting them release some information by then.
Seems like standard procedure for a as yet unreleased product.
This is standard procedure for an unreleased product. Nothing to see here.
As stated above, this is normal procedure for registering electronics. The FCC validation process can be lengthy, so Apple had to supply documents well before the release date. Nothing to see here.
People, please. Look at the FCC filing and you’ll see that this document is for the new Airport Base-Station. Look here .
And dont’ believe everything you read, unless of course it’s from the FCC ;-)
Micheal - How’d you figure that one? The FCC confidentiality letter is dated totally differently. Not the same letter.
“Dated totally differently” how? Both are dated October the 12th.
The only difference between the two is some clumsy Photoshop work converting “January” into “June”, and inadequate blurring of the signature (you can quite clearly see the “Krige” from the clear version in the blurred version).
Not “not the same letter” at all.
Who cares?
Mac funboys???
@joshua it seems you do, if you are not intrested in the iPhone then why are you reading this? just to make a jab at those who like Apple over MS or *inx? real or not, we know Apple wants to keep the iPhone under wraps and it will not be out until sometime in June.
