iPhone 'N94' front panel leaks, appears to be iPhone 4S

mobile

Several fresh iPhone “N94″ photos leaked on Monday are fueling rumors that Apple will reveal a low-cost iPhone 4S when it takes the wraps off of the iPhone 5 in the coming weeks. The new batch of images were provided to Engadget by uBreakiFix and are very similar in size and shape to the leaked iPhone 4S parts we saw last week. This new N94 face panel, which is allegedly from an “engineering verification test” build made in March of this year, looks nearly identical to the current iPhone 4. However, there’s a small circular grill that’s positioned just above the earpiece speaker and camera. As Engadget points out, it looks very similar to the webcam LED indicator on Apple’s Mac computers, which would be a welcome addition to the iPhone. Reportedly, a different N94 still had not hit the “design verification stage” stage in June or July, so it’s possible this new design has been tweaked or ditched entirely. A separate model, the N97, has reportedly already hit the design verification stage and is rumored to offer a camera lens provided by Sony. Either way, Apple is sure to excite when it takes the wraps off of its new devices in October. Read on for a second image.

        That’s for sure, although I don’t see how they could do that….. but imagine…. it would sell like hotcakes.

    This changes… nothing.

      It actually changes a lot. If this is in fact a “cheap” iphone that is $300 unsubsidized or free to $49 on contract, this will sell like hotcakes. If it shares the same display and performance of the iPhone 4, then it is 10x better than any other handset with the same price point. Cheap Android phones are downright shitty.

        Your comment makes no sense. Carriers could easily sell the current iPhone 4 at $49 or free on contract if they wanted …they just know the iMob would pay big bucks for anything magical!…
        its great to see that apple is coming up with a low end device. But seriously that really won’t change a thing. Prob will make the iphone acordibg to some iBuddies drop its only rich-exclusiveness

        Yeah, I am sure you will miss the non-multitasking dumbed down iOS.

        Suuure.. Who wants or needs battery life. I loves for all my apps to contiue processing while I’m not using them. I even do it with my car! Shit’s been on for a week now! I lose a ton of gas, but it’s true multitasking.

        @K1NG that’s not how mt on android works. Educate yourself, dumbass

        Why did he leave in the first place?  And why is he considering Android again.  We can say the same for an OS that offers next to nothing.

        Doubt it, he can do so much more with Android; with iOS he can only sync’ with iToooonesâ„¢

    And everyone hates on blackberry for the “same old, tired, rehashed design”. 

    • Prof. Peabody

      Uh, that’s cause Blackberry has been rocking that design for 5 or 7 years over many dozens of models.  

      Even if this year’s iPhone looks like last years … that will be exactly 2 identical phones from Apple and 40 or 50 from BB.

    Will their be even a iphone 5?

  • Anonymous

    face it… when it comes to design… Apple pretty much nailed it with the iPhone 4.
    i don’t expect ‘radical’ departure in design. but if they once again a) make it thinner
    and b) make it lighter… then it will sell like crack. a larger screen ‘might’ be nice…
    but not if it means a larger overall size footprint. i’m not sold on all of these 4 inch
    screen models that people seem to crow about. cell phones are about portability…
    not lugging around an undersized tablet. this is merely my ‘humble’ opinion. $0.02

  • J. Williams

    lol

  • YaMuMsHoUsE

    wow the same phone……….      agian

  • Sukmysak

    If it works and its selling why change the design much?  Do you think the Samsung Galaxy phones look much different from one another?
