I wonder if I can get my money back for my PREORDER???

Lol at you fanboys who were hating on the design believing it was fake

now engadget owns u!

Oh now u love the design?!

Love u guys

Indeed. Very funny to read all of the authoritative denials, statements it was a "knock-off" (soooooo un-Applelike), and then blaming the sites when it turns out they were wrong, hahaha.

I will still visit Gizmodo or Engadget when I want peeks at new products - that's the reason they exist, but if I ever didn't want to know, can always not visit the sites.

Oh yeah, and I like the new design/features.

If it was chrome, man it'll scratch even more than the 3G/3GS.

One of my pet peeves about Apple's current designs is that they show every scratch and fingerprint. Would be cool to purchase a new Apple product and not have to buy protectors and other items to keep it looking pristine. Just a thought...

wait wouldn't this pic be real? since it looks exactly the same as the prototype gizmodo got

I visited Tokyo this New Year's and saw this exact phone. It's a cheap made of plastic fake. With something that looks like a windows version of iphone OS!
It cost 6000 yen at the shop I saw it. Pretty cheap if U ask me.

You've been PWNED!

No-one in Japan makes knockoffs or counterfeits. Not since the early '70s, anyway.

If you want cheap copies, go elsewhere in Asia.

Man, looking at those pictures from the last post, I don't know how ANYONE who owns Apple products made in the last 5 years could ever believe this was an Apple design. Blech.

Still entertaining though. I suspect that we'll be seeing more and more of these purported 4th Gen iPhone pictures over the next two months.

and how wrong u are - lol

what a fanboy u are

I was waiting for this news! It's a shame that so many user (on Engadget) had believed to such a horrible design.

Jonathan Ive is one of the best industrial designer in the world, He will never design something so ugly.

u troll - only 2 posts -

how wrong u were -

i bet ur a fanboy hiding his true identity

Funny how this turned out to be real.

This is very funny....

It turns out this WAS the real iPhone 4.

So how was this discounted as purportedly fake? Apple PsyOps?
