Translation: She's a clerk. Rumor blogs love to say "our source."

The source tells Nace: "Recently my team and I have been getting A LOT of protocol from Apple lately, and I can tell you there is something big getting ready to happen. Whether or not it's the iPhone I'm not at liberty to say, but the paperwork has definately [sic] beefed up, and I'm positive it's not MacBooks or iPads. Nothing has been flown out, but they are definately [sic] getting everything in order for customs and the FCC, I can tell you that."

Rollup knows nothing about how goods are imported to the U.S., but unfortunately for everyone, neither apparently does Nace, and his email exchange with his source didn't seem to help much. "The 'protocol' that the source is referring to is the routine in which a particular business runs and sets up its paperwork before going to audit or customs," he says.

The key thing, apparently, are the Green Folders. According to the clerk, "I recently came into contact with some green folders (means they go straight to Cupertino itself) with unidentified units, 14 of them to be exact, as I've said before I'm not at liberty to go into detail but if they're going to headquarters I can only believe that they might be testers."

What can this mean? Nace "asked her further about what 'green folders' and 'unidentified units' meant."
