Is This Apple's New iPhone? No, It's An iPhone Clone
Engadget has just reported that they’ve got hold of photos of what they believe could be the next generation iPhone or iPhone 4G or iPhone HD. Apparently the phone was found in on the floor of a San Jose bar inside of an iPhone 3G case. According to Engadget the...

if it is real, i cant believe an employees or secret tester would leave it one the floor by accident. im pretty sure it would be a way to attract publicity. the phone looks apple like but the 80 gb throws me off. anyways we just have to wait till june
-
If it IS real, someone's head is going to roll!!
-
i wish there was more info listed here... like screen dimensions. and i would like to see a photo of the dock connector, just to clarify it's the 30pin that apple uses also why didn't they take a video of this new OS... would have been a good idea.
-
It's most likely a prototype - Nothing more. The iPhone 4G will most likely have the same looks as the 3GS, depending on what gets added to the next generation iPhone hardware wise, the looks may be identical.
-
also it doesn't look at smooth as the other models... but it still looks cool.

HOPE IT IS NOT, it looks really bad and FAKE
and the iPhone which is comming out in june is now under top security and kept in secrete and I guess only less than 20 people in the world saw the final device!!! -
In my opnion this is the new iphone in trail version. this is probably an employees. As for the weird case and the 80 gig. First the case is to throw off any bystanders observing the phone. Someonen could easily say it was an europian rip off. Second the 80 gigs allows you to test out all the featurs for the iphone to make sure everything is fully operational. I think it real, but this is not what the public is going to see.
-
lol, i highly doubt this is "IT". I hope not anyway. I expected it to be more rounded or something at least. It just doesn't look Apple if you ask me.
-
Isn't this the lost prototype that made some Chinese guy commit suicide? XD
-
i agree with you man. apple is smart and its quite possible that like he said is just for someone to test out. Although there are many companys that will totally copy the iphone even the apple logo's etc. i wish there was a video tho. And the exterior doesn't even look applish to me. That looks like a crossbreed of the iphone2g and the iphone3g ahaha
-
If it's real there would be a LOT more pictures. And ok, so the battery is dead? Plug it in!!!!
-
It's to thick to be the next iPhone. Let's hope it's not it.
-
Hard to say. One thing is for sure. It doesn't match the photos of the aluminum case photos that were leaked last week.. Of course, who is to say those were real either.
-
The post has been updated with more photos.

I would prefer a thicker side or a thin rubber grip to make it easier to hold. I have dropped mine so many times because it is so slippery, and putting it in a case makes it too hard to slip in my back pocket. I also like the idea of the volume buttons being a completely different shape.
-
don't you see the micro usb its clearly a chinese fake or something along the lines
-
need to show a video of it
-
if this were real, i would NOT buy this junk...ugly as hell if you ask me.. looks like a first gen ipod on the back, and they would not make the back all chrome for an iphone.
-
I think it could be real, theres a picture with the back off exposing the battery.. Could Apple have made the battery user replaceable to comply with standards?
If they did try and redesign to make it replaceable you would imagine the device would lose its curvy looks of its predecessors. I mean try and imagine removing a curvey backplate, that would be horrible.
I think it looks good personally, but I can understand people not liking it, it is a big difference. If its real it can still change a lot from an early prototype
-
no? which pic?
-
the person who had this phone mess it up alots of scratches on it
-
More tabloid journalism from iPhoneHacks. Great.
-
Cool bu I like the iPhone 3gs volume rockers. They are sexier.
-
I agree, the XX is a give away. Definitely legit but don't expect the final product to look like that. It doesn't seem odd to me that they found it in the floor of some bar. I have to admit, I've lost an iPhone at a bar.
-
i don't think so ..as many said if it is a protype of next gen iPhone ,thy ll keep it in a safe place not in the emplyee's Hands to take it to the bar ..maybe be the nxt iPhone will be drinking beers :)))
-
ya i hope this is not the real one dont look that hot to me
-
Fake. Looks like a cheap knockoff.
-
It has a removable battery, so it mas user's life easy, so it's not Apple.
-
Just correcting: ... so it makes user's life easy...
-
I don't think it has a removable battery, I think they just opened it to show how the inside looks like. I think this is legit. I bet those guys in apple are going crazy right now.
