Yet other conflicting reports indicate it is a fake......

I don't know what to believe

CT10 04-19-2010 08:03 AM

yeah according to gsm arena, that's the real deal now....

wtf it uses a MicroSIM? looks like everyone will have to change SIM Cards now in order to use that phone..

Read it on gizmodo that it's real, looks pretty good imo. I'd buy one, I like the look better than the current 3G/3GS

Psykopathik 04-19-2010 10:13 AM

if its fake. its a very goood fake.

i doubt the story of it being found in a bar tho.

Steve Jobs: "ok John, we are entrusting you with this early prototype of our newest trade secret iPhone, Guard it with your life"

John: "I'm just gonna stop off at a bar on the way home and get my DRANK on. Not gonna leave it in my car, I'll be smart and keep it in my jacket in coat check..."

Gh0stRider 04-19-2010 10:28 AM

AVS_Racing 04-19-2010 10:44 AM

It was probably on purpose to build hype. Guys at Foxxconn are killing themselves over suspected lost prototypes and this one was "left at a bar?"

Doubtful.

AVS_Racing 04-19-2010 11:22 AM

fuking hell the shitty piano black backing is still there = scratch magnet, but yea it just looks like a HD2

hotjoint 04-19-2010 11:53 AM

I dunno if I like it or not. I like the fact that thet got rid of the bezel

bd0n 04-19-2010 12:52 PM

I was reading on Engadget that Apple tends to issue prototype devices to groups of test users several months before release (in protective cases that conceal the final design of the device). Apparently Apple has done this with past iPhone models before release. This matches the story of this new iPhone being found in a bar several months before a rumored release date, and it was found inside an iPhone 3G case to conceal its external differences.

Tim Budong 04-19-2010 02:42 PM

Or apple is using that spin department to start shit again

Jsunu 04-19-2010 03:08 PM

I seriously doubt apple would sanction a leak for a phone that was going to be announced a few months down the road anyway. Marketing and timing cost millions and apple would not leak just to stir up shit for the android market.

true true, but isnt this cheaper? guerilla marketing until the real thing comes
if u know what i mean?

leaks like this...its all part of the social media phenomenon

no_clue 04-19-2010 05:02 PM

wow if the rumours are true, this is a huge improvement over the 3GS.

time to sell my blackberry!

AutozamAZ-3 04-19-2010 05:52 PM

I think the 4.0 update for my 3gs will be good enough for me. I don't wanna keep up with all these updates. The only valuable I can see is the battery update and the front camera. But to each his own.

Why is it so surprising? They either purposely leak it for hype or it was leaked by one of the Project Managers or Engineers.

My cousin works as a PM for Nokia, he shows me prototypes all the time. I could've snapped some pics if I wanted.

Hondaracer 04-19-2010 08:56 PM

so apple leaves one in a bar just for some guy from gizmodo or w/e to happen to find? of all people

i do like the new look though, definite improvement imo and i'll be upgrading from my 3G if it is

bakasam 04-19-2010 09:24 PM

I actually prefer the bar-like on this new one rather than the roundedness of the 3gs.

terkan 04-19-2010 09:48 PM

meh i'm sick and tired of my iphone~ just coz they are not unlock friendly/ or pay a fortune to get a factory unlocked one.. ~ i rather get a phone that is easily unlockable and not having to worry about updating killing the unlock that i can use anywhere in the world so i don't have to pay ROAMING coz i can't switch to a prepaid simcard... i hate the idea of having to worry about accidently updating the phone and not being able to use it ~

JSALES 04-20-2010 12:56 AM

not really liking the new iphone but it'll probably grow on me

iirc the article said it was found in an apple BOX as well as the old style case. however, i would NEVER let one of these phones out of the factory. make the testers live at Apple lol.
