Purported iPhone Prototype Surfaces In Bangkok [PICS]

During these past few months we’ve seen quite a few supposed iPhone prototypes. Just during this past week we even saw some repair parts surface. But what had stunned me about all these prototypes is the consistency. A majority of the leaked iPhone prototypes have contained 4-inch screens and 19-pin dock connectors.

As the leaks continue to mount, Neowin has posted pictures of the purported next-generation iPhone’s “finalized design casing.” Although the device isn’t a functioning prototype, it presents the device’s design and actual shape.

The shell casing, in the hands of an ex-employee at the MBK Center in Bangkok, Thailand, includes many of the same physical features as past leaks. Set aside from the obvious 4-inch display and 19 pin dock connector, the device includes a re-positioned headphone jack, centered Facetime camera, two-toned aluminium back panel, and re-modeled speaker grill.

What do you think about this leak? I know pictures don’t serve justice, but they are fascinating to view.

    This is only the outer shell/casing.

    And by the way, even this “news” is a fake. It is simplified Chinese characters on the “screen”. I don’t think or believe Thai people use Chinese on their phone.

    But you would still see something in that area that would show where it will end up … It’s all solid … Plus the camera is already in …..

    I still don’t buy the 2 toned back…that’s what keeps telling me these models are FAKES

    The camera isn’t in, just the glass covering the camera slot. No type of hardware is inside. Its probably fake, but this is according to sources.

    The screen really isn’t on. Probably a plastic cover in my opinion.

    It’s still iPhone news. We keep tabs on all rumors and reports. Chances are it’s fake, but who knows. All rumors have pointed to this single iPhone design.

  • FragilityG4

    I disagree … Both cameras appear in and also the flash.

    I guess you didn’t read the part about it not being a functioning prototype.

    It’s ugly as hell. If iphone 5 comes out with that design, Apple is over

    From what I’m told these are mockups for accessory manufacturers to design their products on.
