So a tech blogger walks into a bar and finds the next iPhone prototype. Stop me if you’ve heard this one… Really, Gizmodo might have gotten the serious scoop with a fortuitous discovery of what appears to be a prototype of the next iPhone (iPhone 4G?). It was actually found it in a Redwood City bar by a Gizmodo reporter. After checking with Apple-connected John Gruber of Daring Fireball, Gizmodo found out that Apple had lost a prototype and was definitely “very interested” in getting it back. Whether they were ready to use payday loans to sic Sherlock Holmes on the case is unclear.
An iPhone prototype in 3GS clothing
On the surface, the plastic case of the iPhone prototype looks more or less like an iPhone 3GS. There are many details that make this iPhone different:
- Front-facing video camera in addition to a back camera with a flash and larger lens
- Micro-SIM – more secure, more storage, more allowable connections. This would be the first use of this tech in a U.S. cell phone
- Higher-res display (exact numbers unclear so far)
- A second microphone port and second volume button
- Metal buttons
- A flatter, more squared-off design
- Higher-powered battery… 5.25 WHr (watt hours) at 3.7V, compared with 4.75 WHr in the iPhone 3GS
New iPhone or red herring?
Gizmodo believes this new iPhone is a real discovery for a number of reasons. First off, it was running the 4.0 operating system for iPhone before OS was even announced. Second, the iPhone prototype was remotely killed before Gizmodo could dig any further into the OS. It was indicated that it was an unreleased unit when it connected to a Mac OS X system and was recognized as an iPhone in both Xcode and iTunes, but no firmware updates were available. According to Gizmodo, the fact that the Mac OS X System Profiler reported it as an iPhone in restore mode is consistent with the phone having been “remotely wiped.”
The proof is under the hood
The internal components fit together well inside the case and are Apple-labeled. If this were 3G or 3GS parts in some modified housing, Gizmodo claims the parts wouldn’t fit so well. They feel that it was thus designed for that case. Probably because of the metal buttons, the case is thinner but heavier. The design seemed like it was a little less sleek than most Apple products. It’s boxier and kind of ugly (like tax debt), whereas previous iPhones have had more curves. This could be chalked up to this iPhone being a prototype, however.
Consumers want to know what this means
This summer, the next-gen iPhone is going to be announced. If the iPhone prototype discovered by Gizmodo is an indication of the future, people waiting to upgrade may want to take the plunge. Some of fans’ major concerns have been addressed by a better battery, a second microphone for better voice clarity, a front video cam, and a better back camera. Sexy up the case and Apple may just have a deal.
