That anyway is what Business Insider now suspects or surmises or infers or reports in the latest bit of foaming-at-the-mouth SEO-bait speculation about the iPhone 5 announcement. See, the number 1 in the invitation that Apple sent out (above) “could be a clue that Apple is only releasing one iPhone,” rather than two, or three, or seven, or twelve, BI claims. Or the number 1 could mean something else. Or it could mean nothing at all. But the “there’s only one new iPhone” theory is reinforced by the fact that John Gruber has published a one-sentence post saying, “Something tells me there’s only one new iPhone.” Gruber doesn’t say what that something is, but BI figures maybe he means the 1 in the invitation. This then becomes the basis for an article on BI. And now the basis of a post on my blog and yet another reason for me to descend ever deeper into a Slough of Despond for what my life has come to.
I disagree with the categorization of the post as SEO-bait.
Look at the 2×2 icons – iPhone nano.
Look how icons are changing based on the real world info. Apple is switching to Android!
It’s soooo obvious it’s almost insulting.
The time on the clock icon is 10′ clock.
10 is binary for 2
Therefore the subliminal message is: It’s time for two (iphones).
(of course it could be ten iphones, but that’s probably a bit more unlikely!)
[4|10]
[280|1]
4+10+280+1=295
2+9+5=16
1+6=7
Just sayin.
I do recall a lot of thought going into what you could or could not see inside the guitar on the invite for, oh, two iPod Nanos ago I think. So neither the clues nor the mouth-foaming are *entirely* new ..
wait! wait!… the thumbtack in the map is on n. deanza blvd. just west of the 280. this must mean we are all to gather there on oct. 4th at 10 am… and look for a big ‘W’!!
Yes, it more like foaming at the mouth click-bait. I’m surprised there wasn’t a slideshow as well.
I’m the one person who doesn’t own an iPhone.
Sad, innit?
The number on the calender is 4, and the day of the week is Thursday, which is 3. The hands of the clock point to 10 and 12. Add to these the route 280, and the number 1 above the phone and we get 310. Now, in Gematria, 310 is also the number of ירק, which means “green” in Aramaic. Thus we are being told that Apple will be introducing a green iPhone.
Amen, Dan! I’ll be glad when Apple finally releases SOMETHING, so all this reading of tea leaves (or is it goat entrails)about whatever that SOMETHING is (or maybe isn’t) will cease.
Then we can expect the much more entertaining debate as to whether the SOMETHING(S) is/are the arrival of paradise on earth (Apple fanboy approach) or a complete dud (Android fanboy approach).
Apple sure knows how to fan the fires of speculation.
I interpurt the 4 icon message as it will be revealed on the 4th at 10 am at their head quarters. but here is the tricky part, al gore member of the board of directors has already said “iphones” so that says there is more than one, the “1″ in the phone icon simply means there is one message. because ther are four icons i feel as though that means there may be an iphone nano (very unlikely though). the part about the message saying “lets talk Iphone” leads me to believe there will be voice recognition software. either way i still believe we will see 2+ iphones (entry level and high end) and maybe others
I cant wait though, ive been holding off on my upgrade for almost 6 months now in anticipation of the iphone5 which was supposed to come out earlier than now but got pushed back due to the economic problems in Europe and Tsunami in Japan
iPhone Five… Shmiphone Shmive, we have top secret specs (with photos) of the IPHONE 6!!!! don’t believe us? yeah… I wouldn’t either. So, we included proof. http://wp.me/p106i6-2M7
