New iPhone 4 Verified: Vol.RIP Gray Powell UPDATE!: Gizmodo is being reckless now...

[truballa101]

copped if Verizon gets this.

still...you'd have to be more than an Apple employee to have a prototype iPhone 4G.
the person that dropped this phone probably had a very high position.

either that or this whole thing was PLANNED but...<-- I don't see the point of that.

No one likes to be teased. especially to this extent.

 

[stack bundless]

I wasn't happy with the new design but after seeing some comparison shots with 3GS this one definitely looks better, just look at this picture

i think the verzion one gets released around 2011, but you never know if they made

progress rolling out the network

 

[vendetta]

"Losing" it in a bar was on purpose. It's the same thing Apple did for the Mac Book when it first released.

 

[shatterkneesinc]

this designed shoulda been for the ipad

 

[cbello03]

every insecure couple will have this phone and this will also get cheaters caught up nice feature but not everyone will like this feature

Very very true.

 

[epidemik the great]

[olvera23]

Big jump from the 3gs. I just hope they change up the design a bit.

• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic DONT CARE AT ALL

Im sorry but it sounds like your expectations are way too high for a phone.  Better camera, better display, better controls... what more could you want out of the hardware?

exactly. he got in his "don't cares", but didn't indicate what would be worth his time. what a maroon.

EDIT: I forgot to relay my thoughts on the phone; F-R-E-S-H, FRESH, FRESH, FRESH, FRESH, FRESH

again if you read anything else i said earlier.  I read rumors of the back of the phone being a touch sensitive panel like the new mac mouse that came out.  Making the entire phone touch sensitive.  I thought that would again revolutionize the cell phone market.  But not looking like that is happening. If the whole phone was touch sensitive it would have endless new possibility


And there is a CARE next to noise cancellation.  That will def be nice.  I appreciate functionality additions not so much small novelty additions.

Apple throwing the competition a knuckle ball, Prototypes from big companies like Apple don't get carelessly "left around". They want you to see this a come out with a different design for feedback.

Yup.  Can't believe how gullible people are to believe that the prototype was left in a bar

Don't care huh?

how can u not care about a better display?

 

[jking0821]

What does the better display do for me. I never watch full length movies on my iphone. I just need it for youtube clips and music videos if i watch them. I have never caught myself saying "man the display on my 3gs is so bad i need an update". I think the 3gs display is fine.

Again a nice add on but i don't care about that. Everything on the phone is maybe a little more convenient but not much im dying to have

[dalilboy]

if true it looks really good imo looks like i will be on att for the new iphone

 

[suckafree85]

Nice

Can't wait until this comes out. I guess I'll use the upgrade I have available for that. Hopefully its not tooo expensive.

Pretty much.

Will it have a 8MP camera with video recording at 720P? Doubt it.Will it act as a wifi hotspot? Nope. Removable battery for when u need extra juice without carrying a damn phone charger in your pocket? WILL NEVER HAPPEN. I'm gonna be glad to trade in my Iphone with horrible 3G coverage. I'm in LA so I'll have 4g coverage by the time the EVO comes out. Suck a +##! Apple and ATT.

The thing is, besides what you've seen, you don't know what else is featured on the phone. You don't know the hardware specs, you don't know the software updates, and you don't know how this device will operate. Save the criticisms for when it comes out. It doesn't make since to make a decisions before you even viewed how the product works(unless you don't like how it looks).

his expectations aren't too high for a phone. all of these features are available on phones that are already on the market. and apple has had the ability to give us these features for years. a noise cancellation mic? swear to god that was on the StarTAC. how the hell am i supposed to be excited about a feature that should have come on the first iPhone? front-facing camera is one of the most overrated features that people desire right now. only thing its good for is spy pics. i have no interest is staring @someone for the duration of a phone call.

thanks for the lulz. name one product/feature that apple has ever made available @a reasonable price, let alone for free.
... i'll wait while you scour the webz...

... and, no, you can't blame this on at&t. apple chose at&t and they have the ability to make video chat a wifi feature.

this is the stupidest thing i've ever read on NT.

I'm a blackberry user too...

how do you get 7000 posts and not read something more stupid than the post you quoted?
i don't understand the comparisons regarding looks. if this model had come out first, everyone would be hyped about the original iPhone design. its not necessarily better or worse, its just new.

and most of you seem to be taking these improvements in a vacuum. i can't think of a situation where i would want to video chat w/someone using a phone. okay, its an improvement, but i don't see it being useful. especially on at&t. most of the improvements are cosmetic, which is a terrible reason for anyone who has graduated high school to buy a new phone. and that probably explains most of the love for this design.

bottom line: this is a prototype w/no OS. i'm not getting moist over something that might end up being the next chevy volt.

 

[captaincrown]

Apple's Marketing & PR Department are pure $$$$$$$$.  They made the announcement, they leaked the phone, soon you're probably going to see viral marketing on the with "leaked"iphone 4.0 software, then an official press release, then commercials, then people waiting in line to drop $$$$$ to get the new iphone. The Apple Iphone hype train has begun and they just made the competition shook. 
Lost in bar?? I don't care how wasted you are, if you have a $1 million dollar lottery ticket, you don't lose it. SMH, if anybody believes this bogus story. Apple with no cease & desist order on those websites, no tracking system on that phone. A guy loses the phone at a bar and somehow a waiter figures it out to be a new iphone. The true owner would of came back the next day, before it was handed off.
