Next-gen iPhone found, said to be the real thing

Remember the presumed next-gen iPhone that was found on the floor of a bar and was offered for purchase by the lucky person who found it? Well, it looks like Gizmodo has offered the highest price for it is now reporting that this is indeed the next iPhone, expected to be announced by Apple this summer. The fact that they believe it's the real thing is because all software they have tried is recognizing the device as an iPhone, and that the internal parts are all pointing to this being a real Apple device.

The device is now boxier, with the rear side now flat, instead of rounded. As it seems, the screen is about the same size (or slightly smaller), but with higher resolution (presumably 640x960 pixels).

The other new stuff includes a front-facing video call camera, bigger main camera lens (maybe 5MP?) with flash, Micro-SIM slot, instead of ordinary SIM and probably a secondary mic for noise-cancellation. The new iPhone seems to be only 3 grams heavier and equipped with about 16% bigger battery.

Technology is movin too fast on all fronts for the iPhone to have the huge jumpstart on the rest. Other companies have caught up and maybe even surpassed what Apple once pioneered. WebOS and Android are on par with Apple's OS. The days are gone of iPhone vs. LG Voyager. Snapdragon processor is Apple's worst nightmare. iPhone vs HD2? iPhone vs. Incredible? iPhone vs. EVO? All 4 equally nice devices and I would carry each one. The gap has closed...and HTC has a lot to do with it. Everybody is general now...Blackberry OS 6.0 and Windows Phone 7 are also bein predicted as a powerhouse and revolutionary...so sorry Apple you created a monster and that monster is now comin for you. Only OS' that are fallen by the waist side may be Nokia's Symbian and Samsung's Bada but even those may gain momentum.

If it did have a micro-SD card then it mayight very well be a prototype for the LTE 4G network....of course, apple does not think that far ahead....

ok, I see there is confusion among the masses, courtesy of PHONE ARENA - the new iphone will have the normal AT&T SIM slot and will also have a microSD memory card slot - 2 entirely different things, other than the fact they both hold data.....lol

you know what that's actually a possibiltiy but remember it will have at least 64gb of memory who needs a micro sd card if you got that much memory on ur phone. Now I'm tired of hearing the fact that people believe that the iphone will stay on at&t . Yes it will but it doesn't make since for apple to let Android phones rule the mobile world because android is an os an it runs on thousands of phones but iphone runs a mac os its only logical they will make more iphones and or phones that have slightly different names to compete. It will happen real soon I just wish people would be open to the fact that anything can happen this summer with phones.

Eventually the iphone will be on all carriers in the US. It makes sense for apple to make 3 times the money they are making now, except a deal has to be struck with the carrier as to how much the carrier will subsidize the phone. Again, this phone does not have a micro-sim card slot - it is a micro-sd slot for memory not for talking to the network - like an actual SIM card does. Dealing with ITUNES is a pain....

Does Verizon need the iPhone tho? I don't think at this point that the iPhone is that much of a factor...Verizon is a more self-sufficient company than AT&T is and has the intelligence to not rely on one phone to carry their network. Even tho the DROID is their flagship phone, there are other phones that garner the same level of popularity as the Droid does. So with that said...i question if Verizon makes the choice to carry the iPhone will it even be relevent to the calibur of devices offered at that time. P.S. - what was the point of carryin the Motorola Devour Verizon? Should of let that go to a lesser network...US Cellular, Metro PCS, Virgin Mobile?

I really like the new design, gorgeous! The current model is DATED and needs a change. As much as I love my 3GS, I will be in line for the new model.

And how does this phone suddenly "not work"? I'm not buying it right now. I'll believe it when I see it from Apple.

You know, there is a theory that this whole thing is a viral ad campiagn - that apple planted the phone in the bar on purpose - for it to be found, covered and freely advertised. If so, then this was a brilliant move done by them - which still allows them not to officially say anything at all.

It was supposedly remoted wiped before it was turned on, so turning it on actually caused it to be cleared out.

"The other new stuff includes a front-facing video call camera, bigger main camera lens (maybe 5MP?) with flash, Micro-SIM slot, instead of ordinary SIM and probably a secondary mic for noise-cancellation" ok, then WHAT other kind of SIM would be used for this phone?? Lol, microSD is not a SIM card - wow, great job PHONEARENA....

that is supposed to be the new iphone for verizon because they had to re-do the whole system to run on both at&t and verizon without any conflicts. honestly i think it is the best looking iphone than all of the other ones out there in the market now.

idk about this...i don't think this is what the iPhone is going to look like when it is released this summer. I am betting that it is either some chinese fraud or an experimental proto-type. Was it really remotely wiped or damaged at the bar?? No one saw this alive and working...Mystery will be revealed this summer so we will just have to wait and see...

I wish the 3 buttons on the top left are: Camera shutter, Zoom out and in buttons (also volume + and -) I think phone looks a lot sexier with a camera shutter~

You can't compare an iphone to any other phone, in the same way that you cannot compare an Xbox 360 to a PC.

I love the new design but a 3.5" screen or smaller? Why. This is too small. While 4.3 may be a little large for some, I think the 3.7-4" is looking to be a sweet spot. People use these for internet and networking way more than phone calls, size is everything here. And with the thickness reduced, you should be able to get a larger screen into the phone without it feeling bigger in the pocket.

anyone asking if this phone is for VZW, read the article from gizmodo. the phone uses the same mirco sim card, that will be used in the at&t 3G ipad... So this in NOT FOR VZW.
