OK, what the Vodafone site actually says is “register now for info on this year’s biggest smartphone release”, but it’s hard to imagine that being anything other than the iPhone 5, which is broadly rumoured to be launching in early October. Apple is uber-strict about partners pre-announcing information, so this looks like a cheeky (and non-committal) way to get around it. [Vodafone]

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 3:49 PMWhich image…? I see references to iPhone on the page but no more than Android references.

If you inspect the HTML it’s the alt tag for that image, reads “Apple news”

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 6:41 PMThe catch? It’s on Vodafone so for all the fantastic glass, metal and just plain fancy tech inside, you won’t be able to use it….

Monday, September 26, 2011 at 8:37 PMDidn’t they changed the name to Vodafail recently? However it is, they’ll probably offer the new iPhone5 on one of their “Infinite Pain” plans :)
It's simply a ruse!
Tuesday, September 27, 2011 at 7:45 PMHerp a derp, this is simply a ruse to get more people to sign back on with their terrible network. They know nothing about the release – just like everyone else.
I have… inside knowledge… that this is the case.

Wednesday, September 28, 2011 at 12:08 PMis it just a coincidence that the SIM card on that page has the pop out micro SIM section, cause as far as i know the iPhone and iPad are the only devices that use them
