While we recently heard iPhone owners were opening their newly-bought, boxed iPhone’s to find numerous photos of iPhone 3G’s on a production line, no-one knew what to make of the claims.
Last Wednesday, markm49uk a fairly new Mac Rumors member posted three photos claiming, on opening his iPhone 3G, to his utter surprise, three photos depicted the action’s of what appeared to be an iPhone 3G factory worker …
According to markm49uk:
“Hi,Not sure if this is or is not the ‘norm’ but I just received my brand new iPhone here in the UK and once it had been activated on iTunes I found that the home screen (the screen you can personalise with a photo) already had a photo set against it !!!!
It would appear that someone on the production line was having a bit of fun
I have to say, the images look legit:
Photo 001, Photo 002 and Photo 003.
Did someone just get bored with the long shifts on the production line? – Or presumably, testing the iPhone’s camera components work, before shipping the device, is all part of Apple’s quality control process – Except this time, someone forgot to delete the photos, after testing.
It’s safe to say, the employee(s) involved may have lost their job due to this action. Apple are very stringent of production information leaving the factory walls. I think you’ll agree though, it is pretty awesome to see inside one of the factories.
