Over at ReMoveTheLabels, iPhone 3G factory pictures have emerged after a person bought and unpacked a brand new device at home. Allegedly, these images had already been saved in the iPhone's Camera Roll
before the device hit the retail store.

TUAW is reporting that Thomas Edwards sent some strange pictures to ReMoveTheLabels, telling the site that his mother had purchased a brand new iPhone (not saying where from exactly, though) and that, upon browsing the image gallery to change the wallpaper, these three images popped up.

"My mother bought an iPhone this morning," Thomas said, according to the above-mentioned news source. "Got it home, ripped off all the factory sealed packing, registered it and while changing the wallpaper, found three photos in the camera roll. Two are blurry, but this one is something else…"

Indeed, it is interesting to see (what looks like) factory images of iPhone 3G units racked up on some platform used to carry them around. The only problem is that the post doesn't say anything about the newly-acquired device being an actual 3G model - and we don't reckon Apple makes both models at the same time, using the same machines to assemble and store them all in one place.

Then, of course, there's also the small chance (not) for an iPhone to hit a surface with its power button, have it pressed like that for a few seconds, and then also get thrown about until just the necessary input commands are fulfilled to take a quick one. Erm... that's three quick ones. Adding that the iPhone's screen responds only to a user's finger, not a stylus or any other objects (since the screen is electrical-based), we can easily figure out what happened with that iPhone prior to its going on sale.

Then again, as previously reported, with a little divine (geeky) help, Apple products can wake up and wink an eye at you any day of the week.
