To believe a picture that has been tried and true or believe unreliable rumor sources.. it's sooo hard to make a choice!
 
Crap. The ONE time I don't go out downtown, someone idiot engineer loses a prototype iPhone. What are the odds!


I still don't buy the story. Can't the photos be fake and real? Like, the photos on the iPad are legitimate but the photos in that guy's hands are fake?


Whatever. Stupid time better hurry up so we can all be disappointed and begin speculation on iPhone Ultra 5000 (5th generation).
 
With regards to glass,it is a dielectric, and has a low attenuation coefficient, thus microwaves can be both reflected and absorpbed.

Yes- mobile phones use microwaves.
 
Honestly, I don't really care much for the backing. A case will be put on it anyway for protection for drops. So, I won't see the back much.

And as everyone knows, the dielectric constant is approximately 4. My wife knew that, so I had to marry her.
 
No, iPhone 4G is easier. What's wrong with that? Everyone knows what you're talking about, it makes sense.
Because A.) it contradicts Apple's own published naming scheme and B.) it will be confusing when Apple does release a 4G-network-capable iPhone. Are you going to call that "the iPhone 6G-but-in-actuality-4G"?
 
The people that take these pictures need to take a lot more of them at different angles. Just taking a few in bad light and bad angles is so noobish. Oh well, its all in good fun right?:D
 
Sh#ts gonna hit the fan tomorrow if C&D letters are released by Apple. Here's to hoping this is somewhat real and they will have a event in May showing it off.
 
That makes no sense. Apple has been using the 'G' designation on the iPhone to refer to the mobile carrier technology. The first iPhone was '2G' (EDGE), the next two were '3G' referring to the network connectivity.

This summer's iPhone will not be labelled '4G' because LTE is not widely available.

I don't believe that Apple ever called the Edge phone the '2G' phone. It was called just "the iPhone" at the time and now something like the "Original iPhone" or first-generation.

People use the 1/2/3/4G labeling as a habit from the iPods to quickly refer to different generations.

It will never be the actual retail name though, I would guess either iPhone 4 or iPhone HD.

Oh why I chose the iPhone as my material sample for my Advanced Level Physics presentation.

The constant changes for some material. If we are to talk about glass (as laminates in this case), which glass are we referring to: glass melamine, glass phenolic, epoxy etc. :(
 
Guys! READ MY LAST POST^^^^

old news, they were on about the ones that were clearly photoshopped. not the engadget ones.

These ones were fake:

cmaier, why would they use glass for the back? What are the advantages? Wouldn't that just make it less durable over all?
