A German shopper bought a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G yesterday, but found something strange; a label on the back pointing to an “iPhone 3GS v2.2, 8GB.” The model (A1241) and part number (MB490DN/A) point to the older model, but “iPhone 3GS” appeared on the packaging which implied that its mention wasn’t a mistake. This incident was reported by Electronista last evening. And here is the picture posted by that German shopper.
The iPhone 3GS is currently only available in 16GB and 32GB varieties, and at $199 and $299 respectively in the US.
Prospects of a lower-capacity 3GS have grown both hot and cold over the past several months and surfaced as early as August through Rogers, culminating in a rumor of an AT&T release that many thought was false after it failed to materialize. Outside of the label there doesn’t appear to be any signs of an imminent launch, but Apple has been known to adjust capacities of its handhelds in winter and in early 2008 launched a 16GB version of the original iPhone several months before the iPhone 3G appeared.
