Photo of the woman, dubbed 'iPhone girl', shown on the iPhone 3G.
The riddle of the 'iPhone girl' has been solved. The international mystery began when a UK customer, going by the name of Markm49uk, purchased an iPhone. The first thing he saw upon opening up the iTunes program on the new 3G phone was a picture of a factory worker smiling back at him. The woman, since dubbed 'iPhone girl' (pictured), dressed in pink striped overalls and hat and wearing white gloves with yellow fingertips, was making the victory sign as she posed next to an iPhone.
The picture started a frenzy on the web in a bid to identify the young woman and how she came to appear on an iPhone in the UK. A website, iphonegirl.net even appeared, but has since stopped working. Her photo was reproduced all over the world, and eventually news reached Foxcon, the company where the the phone was assembled in China.
Bosses at Foxcon technology in Shenzhen have promised 'iPhone girl' that her identity will not be revealed, although one Chinese paper called the mystery worker "China's prettiest factory girl".
Yes, the iPhone Girl looks pretty smart too, in every sense of the word. I vote that she represent the new look of China: young, pretty, smart and cheerful.
