yah but just because we now see a white version doesn't mean this is a newer model... this could be older than any we've seen.

I disagree. Going off of the names of the models themselves, Gizmodo's DVT is most likely the latest version. And why the hell would Apple beta test both the black and white versions when the only difference is aesthetics? The white one would not be able to be used in public due to the glaring differences in the front.
 
How can people say the seams (or whatever they dont like about the phone) is un-apple ?? Apple designed this phone so the seams are Apple!
 
is it me or do the photos look as if they is no back piece on them. the silver is touching flat on the surface. on other photos you could tell it had a sandwich design.
 
I wouldn't pass judgement on these white or black iphone prototypes for now - especially when you have less than ideal pictures of them. Bad lighting photographs can make even Eva Longoria look like kim kardashian...

I'd wait to see in person but if it's glass front and back, I'll bet you that both will look great. I personally don't know why apple won't want to release iphones in an assortment of colors like they do their ipod line.

I'd love a ferrari yellow ;)
 
Those cases have screw holes...

And so dose the 3GS! I like the screw holes. Most phones are used with cases so they will be covered up by those that care. My guess is that screws are either for assembly testing or serviceability.

Let the complaining begin..

This would not be a proper MacRumors if half of this thread wasn't about bitching about something that is or isn't there.
 
idk what color to get black or white. and i hope ichat is same as on mac. ill gladly use instant messaging through ichat than a app from the app store
 
What?

None of these photos should been displayed...they have no significants
at all....this site has gotten over reactive.
Soon they will be measure the size of the logo to see it it has changed in size and the significance of that to the population of the world!:mad:

Lamesauce man.

News is news, and this is DEFINITELY news.

If this story has no "significants" to you, don't read it.
 
what do you mean it looks un-applelike?
the white one especially looks more apple than their newer stuff.
(like an original ipod, macbook, etc.)
the newer stuff looks "un-applelike" if anything.

but what is apple's look?

i mean, they went from clamshell ibook,
to the colorful e-macs.
what exactly are they limited to in terms of looks?

what do the current iphones currently resemble?
they look like nothing else that apple has made.
i think the new iphones look very nice.
seam and all. it makes it look better.

The original Apple IIs were all computer grey/off white. So perhaps that is the look they are talking about.

riiiight...

on a different note has anyone checked the diameter of the home button in relation to the speaker yet? could be crucial... /s :p
 
What's with the seams?

This is indeed very un-applelike. Even the 1st generation iphone was sleeker than this! And don't reply by saying this is a partial assembly. I am hoping this is just another prototype or knockoff thereof. That chromey finish is ghastly as well. It looks cheap. I can only hope that the actual 4th gen. model is sleeker (or the sleekest yet) and takes a page out of the mbp's or ipad's unibody construction.

BECAUSE IF YOU PUT A METAL BACK ON THE IPHONE LIKE THE IPAD THEN YOU WILL GET NO WIRELESS CONNECTION OR MOBILE PHONE SIGNAL THUS DEFEATING THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE DEVICE.
GET IT NOW?

Let's all stop being douche's now ok?

On topic:

These things look better than the first leaks.
 
What,no matte finish this year?
:D

seriously though I like the black one, its very sleek. The white makes the phone look "cheap" like a toy or something. It contrasts with the sleek styling of the phone.
Cant wait for these finally come out
