Cheaper iPhone 4 'N90A' Photos Leak from Foxconn Factory

[MacRumors]

Gizmodo.com.br claims to have images from Foxconn's Brazilian factory which shows the iPhone "N90A" model that will be introduced next week.

Now, as a reminder, the N90A is expected to be the low-end iPhone 4 model that is to be released alongside the iPhone 4S (N94) model. The current iPhone 4 carries a model number of N90. So, these images don't actually show anything we don't already know, but do seem to represent a legitimate leak from a Foxconn factory producing Apple iPhones.

The [devices] are basically ready to be delivered, as shown in these photos obtained exclusively. The most interesting: they are a new model, it seems, will have less capacity and is cheaper.

Readers may recall that Foxconn has been working to expand iPad production into Brazil as well. If these images are to be believed, they have already been producing iPhones there.





This second image shows the model number ("N90A") in the top left and shows it didn't pass inspection:



This model is supposed to represent the cheaper iPhone 4 model that will replace the iPhone 3GS in the low end. The higher end iPhone is believed to be called the iPhone 4S and will carry an A5 processor.

****. Welp. There goes the iPhone 5.

EDIT: If this is the lower end, that must mean the 4S is the main iPhone. D:

Now take a photo of the iPhone 5.

 

[Steve J0bs]

Pre-paid iPhone perhaps?

 

[iBreatheApple]

Well this sucks. I can't wait until the 4th so we can put this all to rest at last!

 

[NXTMIKE]

I wonder if we'll see any change of manufacturing defect rates with the new Foxconn plant in Brazil...as oppose to the China one?

 

[adcx64]

This is a total clusterf****. The iPhone 4S is supposedly the low-end iPhone and now we have this?

next thing you know people will want the chinese phones for the better quality

Why no iphone5 photos leaked yet?

Because Apple plugged the leaks?

 

[zap2]

I think this is Apple's game, they did it last time and when the 3GS launched, I remember thinking the WebOS/Android was closing in.

And the iPhone 4 came out and blew things away for a while.


I'm excited for the 4GS, I'd rather a 5, just because the screen is getting a little small when you compare Android/WinPhone7 devices.

 

[EmbraceTheOne]

Just you.

Ahh alright. Looking over it again, I realize im wrong

 

[adcx64]

nah, look at the bottom left corner of the left one:

Lol, beat me to it arn, I was just about to point that out!

It would be refreshing not to see "Made in China" for once.

 

[SuprUsrStan]

Is it just me, Or does the right picture look like Edge to Edge glass?

By edge to edge glass, you mean it looks like one piece of glass from the left edge to the right edge, then yes. it's 100% glass. As for the actual LCD size looks the same.

 

[korndawg]

Today has provided the most 'bleak' news about a possible iphone 5 being announced Tuesday. It ain't happening guys

 

[TM WAZZA]

So what's the N94 model number again?

 

[arn]

Why no iphone5 photos leaked yet?

simplest answer... because they aren't being manufactured

arn

 

[klrobinson999]

well, it looks like we are getting a 5th generation iPhone...it's just going to be called the iPhone 4S.

 

[adder7712]

It would be refreshing not to see "Made in China" for once.

And I bet that SJ and Apple hate Gizmodo even more now.

"Designed by Apple in California, Assembled in Brazil."

Now that would be a change.

 

[Peace]

This may just be the regular iPhone.
