Leaked Matte Case was a Real iPhone 3G S Case?
Apple released the iPhone 3G S on Monday with a case that is physically identical to the current iPhone 3G. As a result, most felt that the matte case photos that were leaked back in February were likely fake. Strangely enough, however, the photos do appear to have been real cases for the iPhone 3G S.
The leaked matte case design was clearly marked with a new model number A1303 and FCC ID BCGA1303A. Based on the official records released yesterday, this FCC ID does correlate to the new iPhone 3G S:
These model numbers and FCC ID's followed no obvious progression at the time so it seems unlikely that someone simply got lucky in guessing. We're not sure if plans simply had changed at the last minute, but the original leaked case was clearly produced by Apple.

Hmm. I wonder what changed their minds. I would have loved to see a matte body...

Maybe it is only meant for china after all or they decided to scrap it last minute

So we really had a picture of it already (like usual). I still don't understand how a lot of Apple's products get leaked all the time.

This case would have been much more appropriate for the 3G S.
a)it would have distinguished it from the 3G
b)it looks much nicer

I wish they would have changed it to the matte design. It would have been nice for there to be some difference between the old 3g and 3g s designs, and it probably would not have been quite as big of a fingerprint magnet.
Then again the look of the iPhone is pretty classy, so why mess with a good thing.

Tonight's lotto numbers: BCG A13 03A
And the power number: A1303
Who's the lucky guesser? :rolleyes:
