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:

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?

next thing you know people will want the chinese phones for the better quality
 
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.
 
It would be refreshing not to see "Made in China" for once. ;)

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.
 
Today has provided the most 'bleak' news about a possible iphone 5 being announced Tuesday. It ain't happening guys :(
 
well, it looks like we are getting a 5th generation iPhone...it's just going to be called the iPhone 4S.
 
This may just be the regular iPhone.
