French iPhone Photos Actually from Vietnamese Leak

[MacRumors]

It was almost getting absurd. We posted a link to BeGeek who posted some new images of the leaked 4th Generation iPhone. As it turns out, they simply obtained those images from the Vietnamese leak on Taoviet.vn.

That means there were still "just" three leaked 4th generation iPhones that we are aware of: Gizmodo's, Taoviet's, and an early Twitter leak.

Interesting to note is that these three devices are distinct. The Gizmodo model was labeled "DVT", the Taoviet model "PRO2", while the original Twitter leaked model is labeled "EVT1". All these models are presumably from different stages of development.

just fix the seams

 

[Compile 'em all]

I hope the guys start trying to dump the rom or something. Would be awesome to have it jailbroken before it is released .

 

[Himpressive]

All I can say: "BRING IT ON ALREADY!!!"

 

[Stately]

This leak stuff is a joke . .

 

[douglaswilliams]

Have you ever heard of the Mac Book Pro?

How about the iPhone Pro? That's my bet as to what they will call it.

 

[xerent]

Yeah, we know what it looks like now. Enough with it, just launch it already.

 

[EricStriffler]

I really want this.

COME ON, WWDC. BE HERE NOW.

 

[kirky29]

It looks stunning!

But, fed up with so many iPhone rumours!!!!!

 

[tigres]

Send one to Geohot- let him do his thing.

 

[D 5]

I hope the final product has a bigger screen_

 

[igazza]

just fix the seams

i dig those seams but the final product will be clean no doubt

 

[scottparker999]

What do you think the seam is for?

Shock resistance when dropped? I mean with front and back glass, it would be a bit of a bummer to drop it.

This is the final product.

EVT = Engineering Validation Test
DVT = Design Validation Test
PRO = something related to production, I assume

These prototypes have popped up in what seems to be an appropriate order. It's my understanding that EVT comes after DVT, but it's possible they are tested simultaneously. PRO is something I haven't run across before, but I would assume it's a pre-production version as opposed to a full-on prototype. They're probably ramping up production now to meet demand and one of these slipped out.

Perhaps Apple could get Batman to get it back; like he got the guy out of Hong Kong with the balloon and C130 trick.

I can see steve come out, "one more thing" this is the new iphone, haha not the ones online, oh that would be just to cool. Mass hysteria with fanboy ripping their hair out.

OMG ffs people... the lines are there to stay, deal with it and move on. Don't like em, get a different phone, problem solved.

Don't forget the Pick of the locked down ipad that had a new iPhone on top of it and the. iPhone in the top corner

this is actually the 4th time we have seen this design.

I doubt that the seam would really improve shock resistance. The most plausible explanation that I've read is that the seam is a vent and allows some of the heat to dissipate.

The iPad has some heavily discussed issues concerning heat-related shutdowns.

I've dropped my iPod touch a number of times before I got a case (it's a slippery little critter), but nothing more than a couple of scratches in the metal. It's still a pretty durable design.

 

[Peace]

just fix the seams

The seams can't be fixed. It's the easiest way to remove the battery.

hahaha how come I have a feeling that:

Steve: Since you guys took our prototypes, I'm not going to announce any new iPhone this conference.

That's a huge twist lol
not going to happen though, coz Android is catching up....

but still.... Steve must be mad...

 

[northernbaldy]

I have one in a box at the back of the garage somewhere

I'll go and see if I can dig it out and take some photos
runs os 4.2 I think

Android is no longer "catching up". They are giving away so many they are surpassing the iPhone.
