No doubt whilst I’ve been hard at work (honest!) you’ve all read about how AT&T’s web site has been listing an ‘iPhone Black’ since at least Sunday. The rumour-mill went into overdrive, and everyone got very excited. But alas, it’s all very innocent, at least according to AT&T via Gizmodo:

An AT&T spokesperson just told us that the iPhone Black dropdown reference on the AT&T Wireless website is just a temporary placeholder. The spokesperson says that it was used over the weekend for a “scheduled catalog update,” distinguishing the various iPhone models (4GB, 8GB and 16GB).

So the 3G iPhone won’t be called the iPhone Black. Good.
