Is this the next iPhone?

possible-iphone-4g-2

According to Engadget, the site that scooped the pics, this prototype was “found on the floor of a San Jose bar inside of an iPhone 3G case” and supposedly features a front-facing camera and 80GB of internal memory. Here’s what we’re betting on… we do think this unit is actually real and not a fake, clone or anything else. But, we’re guessing it’s very — and we mean very — early along in the prototype phase. Not to say the final design isn’t all ready to go, but we’re guessing this isn’t it. For starters, look at the seems in the aluminum casing. You think Apple, of unibody fame, would not have a single piece of machined aluminum for the bezel? Also, the phone appears to be flat, like, completely flat on both sides. That basically goes against almost all of Apple’s principles. Additionally, look at the back of the phone. It actually looks it’s supposed to be the front of the device. You can clearly see either a piece of glass or plastic that’s fitted into the case much like how the display is on an iPhone 3GS, or the display on the iPad. Look at the material around the sides of the back of the phone, you’ll see what we mean. So, we do think this is Apple-manufactured, we just don’t think this is anything close to what we’ll see announced in June. What do you guys think? Photo of the back of the device after the break, and hit Engadget for the rest of the photos!

    Apple sucks. The iphone sucks. Steve Jobs sucks. The Ipad sucks. Macbooks suck. I hate all things popular just because they are popular. Apple isn’t even original. They steal all of their ideas from 20 year old phones. I hate Apple.

      Looks like “TypicalAppleHatingDBAG” can’t afford Apple products. Oh well, you get what you pay for – enjoy your $150 Windows based ‘Netbook’.

      you are officially a tool. And not because you dislike Apple, its because you give no real credibility to your argument. Honestly, throw a fact or two in our direction before you whine about something you obviously have no knowledge of. And yes, you are a DBAG, but aren’t intelligent for the title of “typical” They have some brain cells.

        Why does anyone need to have a “fact” in their opinion. His fact is that he doesn’t like apple. Pay attention when trying to blast someone for an opinion. Moron.

    The design looks so much more interesting. Crapple knows how to deliver and create mass hysteria.

      They sure do! After the media stunts they have pulled: releasing possible images of their new products, ripping on something then designing their own, I’ve learned to just wait and see what happens and not buy into the whole media stunt excitement….Especially after the iPad.

    Finally got to play with the Ipad at the Apple Store and the one thing its good at are the games especially driving ones. Overall, I like it just not compelling enough for me to buy right now. Might go for the Iphone upgrade instead this summer, especially if it has a larger screen and front facing camera. It would be nice to catch up to the Europeans and Asians with video conferencing.

    To me, that looks like a “mule”: a working platform they can easily swap in revised internals to test.

  • MonkeyCheese

    To answer the question in the title…..No. Seriously people would you believe any of this? ‘”found on the floor of a San Jose bar…”‘ really? I’m not an Apple fan but I can honestly say that that is not the next Iphone. It’s the opposite to what Apple would do. Sorry, I’m not buying this at all.

    What the hell are all these KKK members doing here. We have our disagreements with phones, but racists comments are uncalled for. Even as a joke its way off line and its a shame BGR doesn’t moderate these forums.

    Its amazing how Apple Haters have nothing else better to do with their time or life. Apparently they all have Attention Seeking Behavior Disorder..These loosers hide behind a Fckin computer all day throwing negative trash left and right. Stupid Geeks probably jack off to Porn or their iphone anyway. Everyone of you stupid hating Bastards have iTunes on your computer so dont lie either. Go back to sleep Bitches yall have school in the morning..
