iPhone 4G: Spy Shots & Specs
Print
Maximum PC isn't typically known for running Mac rumors, but since the vast majority of iPhone users also run PC's, it might interest you to know that Engadget has uncovered shots of an iPhone 4G prototype, and they are pretty convinced they are legitimate. The low-resolution photos are strikingly similar to leaked iPad shots which also turned out to be genuine, and the fact that the same iPad can be spotted in the background only serves to seal the deal. The evidence sounds pretty flimsy to me, but given that these guys deal with gadget rumors 24/7, I'm inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.
In addition to the photos, the Engadget source also revealed a few revised hardware specs that fall in-line with expectations. They claim the device sports a high-resolution display, forward and rear facing cameras, and support for MicroSIM cards (the same type used by the iPad). Of course even if this turns out to be true, its still just a prototype that could be drastically different from the final product so take it for what it is, a promising lead. On the other hand, iPhone announcements typically happen sometime in June, suggesting that this could indeed be a fair representation of what to expect.
The pictures don't tell us much, but they do suggest now would be a bad time to run out and buy a new iPhone.

So, I was going to comment on how the mainstream media is soooooo biased toward Apple, and then my post was denied by the Spam Filter.

Your spam filter is fucking great you should fire the dumbass that decided to pay forit a piece of shit that doesn't block blatant spam. This website has gone downhill all it is now is a bunch of horseshit rumors that are copied and pasted from other sites and hardware reviews that appear to be conducted and written by a 12 year old referencing wikipedia. Maximumpc=maximumjoke please delete my account because it appears that there is no way for me to do it.

Most of us really do not care about a new cell phone picture. Especially one from Apple.

No Engadget sat on the pictures because they thought they were fake and then some genious was like "Hey isn't that the the same ipad that was in the leaked ipad photos?"

No but every fourth article has been about the ipad since it released. And worse yet, there's only been one or two about the Notion Ink Adam...

As MaxPC's spam filter banned my response to your post as I guess it wasn't apple friendly enough. I'll just say I AGREE!

You really should lay off the Apple articals and let Maclife deal with this stuff...It is kind of their job to swarm Apple.
