I think we might be in for a surprise.

One surprise would be that this is not the next generation iPhone prototype but just one possible prototype. Maybe the one Apple releases at WWDC doesn't have a front facing camera and higher resolution screen. That would be a surprise, albeit an unwelcome one.

After seeing 16GB models only, I have this eerie feeling that we won't see a 64GB model. We already have a 16GB 3GS around and a 8GB 3G low end model. What would the new lineup look like? A 4G 16GB would only make sense as a low-end model and not as the one in the middle. Otherwise they'd have this huge gap between 16GB and 64GB. But will they really go as far and jump from 3G to 4G in the low end? Or introduce a 4th model? I doubt it.

Other possibility: the 16GB prototype will never be sold, but I doubt that too. Why bother designing it then and even have the capacity printed properly on the back.

For the next few months, there won't be Android phones with 64GB, so Apple might just say, screw that size and stick with 32....


I'm not buying if there's no 64GB !!

I think that the new iPhones will replace all currently selling models. And the 16GB will be the $99- 32GB $299- 64GB $399. That's my opinion. We have iPods that have 64GB.. why not iPhone?

All these leaks are so staged. No way this would happen by accident

this has gotten so excessive at this point that it HAS to be intentional on Apple's part....wow

Why? Mistakes happen. What, Apple can't make mistakes?

It's like a global leak now. Next will be in Europe then to Australia.

If Apple has let three of these prototypes slip out, it makes me think that they're covering up something much larger to announce at WWDC. How often do details slip out early that are accurate much less multiple prototype devices?

These iPhone leaks are almost as big as the oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico right now

I don't know about you, but I'm not holding my breath. Remember the MBP release?

I like how the "leaked" images of the prototype are actually wet.

I think it's a back-round image and not the actual screen that is wet

Take 100 dollars off the 32GB and 100 dollars off the 64GB and you may have something.

This is getting very silly.
How Apple managed to lose 3 iPhones is beyond me. Something doesn't feel right to be honest.

You mean two...this one is the same second leak but just with the OS

Okay, this is becoming pretty obvious to me now.
Clearly, Apple is setting up controlled leaks to 'cover up' their previous mistake.
In other words, the previous leak generated so much press that Apple decided it only makes sense for them to continue with the 'strategy' so the first real mistake doesn't appear to be such a huge mistake.

As further proof, we can see that Apple isn't remotely wiping the device(s), so chances are, all the current press and lack of detail is under Apple's control.

If Apple has let three of these prototypes slip out, it makes me think that they're covering up something much larger to announce at WWDC.

This is also extremely probable. Honestly, a one-time-ever mistake would not recur so quickly, especially since Apple would obviously tighten up after the first leak.

Obvious iPhone naming progression:

iPhone
iPhone 3G
iPhone 3GS
iPhone 3GSeam

They've been planning those ugly seams from the beginning!

The WWDC keynote is going to be very anticlimactic.

Or very climactic if the new iPhone is totally different.

Apple might as well as release the thing already.

I'm so sick of hearing about the rumors and "leaked" images.

This is a rumors website.....

4.

There was one leaked to a chinese fix-it site in February
There was the Gizmodo leak.

Now there's the Vietnam leak and the French leak.

 

[igazza]

somebody leak a 64GB.

 

[muskratboy]

It kind of spoils the surprise though.

who the hell cares if it's a surprise?

just make it and sell it to me... WTF do i care if it's presented in some surprising way?

I think the reason why more iPhone 4 phones are leaking is because the cat is out of the bag. Or whatever that expression is. Before I think there might of been some pressure to not leak any kind of Apple product, but now it's not a big deal as we have all seen it.

 

[Natesac]

why is everyone ignoring the HUGE FREAKING FINGERNAILS???????? I mean common!!!!! cocaine is helluva drug but geeze. The guy holding the phone obviously has a super long snow white mustache and a cazy ponytail thing on the top of his head. Think Pai Mei from Kill Bill.

Apparently BeGeek are now saying their photos are actually the same Vietnamese prototype are sourced from taoviet.
