Because Apple will not agree to be interviewed, it is impossible to verify exactly what the workers made. But a current factory employee on the second floor snapped a photo for GlobalPost of what appears to be a nearly finished iPhone in production. Six other current and former factory employees said they handled iPhone and iTouch screens and saw screens for the iPad tablet computer in the factory.

A member over on the Android Central forums had a chat tonight with Sprint’s customer service on-line chat and it appears the Supersonic will in fact launch soon. Now we all know how reliable customer service reps are, so take this with a grain of salt. On the plus side is that customer service reps usually plead ignorance.
What do you guys think, will we see the Supersonic announced tomorrow and released in the coming weeks?
