Apple iPhone Email: Talk to you soon.

Got an email from apple today talking about the iPhone. The subject of the email was, "Thank you for your interest in iPhone." The body of the message was a brand new view of the iPhone as well as the following text

"Talk to you soon- Thanks for signing up. You'll be the first to hear the latest about iPhone— coming this June. That gives you just enough time to think of ways to break the news to your current phone."

This is fantastic news, Apple has been completely silent on iPhone related matters and finally they begin to build the buzz. Talk to you soon- is such a teaser. 2 months does not seem like it falls within the "soon" time frame. I believe we will be hearing more about the phone within a months time. Thoughts?

Many of us have received emails from Cingular regarding the iPhone. I haven't seen this email, though. I'm sure Apple and Cingular bump up the number of teaser emails as June draws near.

I think you are exactly right. This is Apple's baby, and they are going to be putting their smartest marketing people on this project and I would expect some exciting new info about the iPhone that has been withheld. Why? Because the 6 month wait from January is long enough for people to nitpick so much that they will hinge their decision to wait till v2 on 1 feature such as price, or storage, or battery life, or app development etc. Apple can now start "upgrading" the phone now through teasers and convert those people who have poo pooed the phone and will now change their position because of 1 minor feature change that Apple may have already planned from the beginning. It also makes Apple look really good if they improve the specs before launch.

The whole email...

I'd bet a lot that "soon" means "in two months"

I hope cingular releases some news about the phone plans for the iPhone, I think that will be the biggest factor on its success.

How come I haven't received my Apple email, I signed up too:(

I am not suggesting that the iPhone will ship before June. I simply believe that Apple will begin demonstrating more of the details surrounding the phone sooner.

Great job by Apple to continue to build interest and buzz around the iPhone. And I'd say that June could be considered "soon" even though it's 2 months away. ;) Sure, in all likelihood we will receive more details before then, but in terms of an actual release date, I'd say that's the most probable.

Can't wait for WWDC! :cool:

I received this email this morning, I didn't realize it was news-worthy and read it, smiled, and deleted it. it's too early for me to get worked up again about the iphone, I don't want to be suffering with the anticipation for 2 months, so I'm not thinking about it.

Maybe their doing this to spear-head the announcement that the iPhone has passed FCC approval?
