Rumours of 8GB Apple iPhone 3GS resurface

Rumors of an 8GB iPhone 3GS have resurfaced thanks to a German forum post. The poster bought a refurbished 8GB iPhone 3G but the device label indicates that it’s a 8GB iPhone 3GS instead. While the model and part numbers are those of the 8GB 3G, the packaging also references the 3GS model leading to speculation that Apple is about to unveil the new model.

If so, it would not be the first time that Apple introduces a model with a different capacity. It did so in early 2008 when it unveiled a 16GB iPhone months ahead of the introduction of the Apple iPhone 3G. Could it be announced at that rumoured Apple upcoming event?

Rumours of an 8GB version of the Apple iPhone 3GS have been around since August 2009.
