newcigarz · 04-19-2010, 12:05 PM

A "lost" prototype looks to be Apples next iphone. From the article it sounds amazing.

Love how apple conveniently "loses" one in a bar.

replicant_argent · 04-19-2010, 12:14 PM

very cool.

Just "found" it????

Yeah, interesting way to say "someone stole this."

Funny how they took it apart but don't say if it's CDMA or GSM

With my 3G contract up the 12 of June this is exactly what I wanted! Something entirely different after the let down I had when 3Gs came out.

I was just reading that during lunch.
Sim card (or MicroSim) = AT&T (GSM)
I've heard lots of rumors about it being on Verizon, and one friend of mine tried to convince me that AT&T wouldn't get the new version. Verizon could still get a version of course.

They probably didn't want to get sued...

A detail like that has far more impact than it just being a spec.

I can't wait until June to buy my first iphone. I've tried a number of other "smart" phones, and I'm ready to see what all the buzz is about.

Chris.....

newcigarz · 04-19-2010, 01:53 PM

I still an original iphone purchased the second day they were available. I've waited for the next big upgrade and I think this may be it.

This story takes a disturbing turn.

"Apple confirms death of iPhone worker in China"

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10291701-37.html

The cnet story is from july of 09. this prototype is just showing up now?

Apple Employee loses 4th gen iphone prototype...

Commits suicide...

Iphone prototype surfaces 8-9 months later..

Excuse me while I go put on a tinfoil hat for this one....

If they're at all related... absolutely sick.

The 3Gs is already available in both CDMA/HSPA+ and GSM spec, can't see why the 4G would be any different......

The phone Gizmodo has was found in an external case designed to make it look like a 3Gs unless you actually handle it. It also was apparently loaded with OS 4.0 according to the article. That's not a phone that was lost in shipping mishap 9 months ago, that's a phone that was lost during real world field testing (assuming it's real in the first place).

sikk50 · 04-19-2010, 04:36 PM

I guarentee those two aren't related.

IF this one is legit it would have been lost recently and would make sense that two-three months they're out field testing them. As far as losing a phone, it happens to everyone, just happened to be a tester this time.

I'ld hate to be that tester going back to the office and telling them what happened.

Lets hope he doesn't 'commit suicide'

Sorry, had to

I for one will be selling my almost 1 year old 3GS and upgrading as soon as this comes out. Multi-tasking on the Iphone = WIN!

I may be wrong, but doesn't the 3gS qualify to upgrade to OS 4.0?

sikk50 · 04-19-2010, 05:08 PM

Your 3GS will have multi tasking when the new OS update comes out this summer
