Gizmodo get there hands on Apple's next iphone
 
A "lost" prototype looks to be Apples next iphone. From the article it sounds amazing.

Love how apple conveniently "loses" one in a bar.

Funny how they took it apart but don't say if it's CDMA or GSM

With my 3G contract up the 12 of June this is exactly what I wanted! Something entirely different after the let down I had when 3Gs came out.

I was just reading that during lunch.
Sim card (or MicroSim) = AT&T (GSM)
I've heard lots of rumors about it being on Verizon, and one friend of mine tried to convince me that AT&T wouldn't get the new version. Verizon could still get a version of course.

They probably didn't want to get sued...

A detail like that has far more impact than it just being a spec.

I can't wait until June to buy my first iphone. I've tried a number of other "smart" phones, and I'm ready to see what all the buzz is about.

I still an original iphone purchased the second day they were available. I've waited for the next big upgrade and I think this may be it.

This story takes a disturbing turn.

"Apple confirms death of iPhone worker in China"

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-10291701-37.html

The cnet story is from july of 09. this prototype is just showing up now?

Apple Employee loses 4th gen iphone prototype...

Iphone prototype surfaces 8-9 months later..

Excuse me while I go put on a tinfoil hat for this one....

If they're at all related... absolutely sick.

The 3Gs is already available in both CDMA/HSPA+ and GSM spec, can't see why the 4G would be any different......

The phone Gizmodo has was found in an external case designed to make it look like a 3Gs unless you actually handle it. It also was apparently loaded with OS 4.0 according to the article. That's not a phone that was lost in shipping mishap 9 months ago, that's a phone that was lost during real world field testing (assuming it's real in the first place).

I guarentee those two aren't related.

IF this one is legit it would have been lost recently and would make sense that two-three months they're out field testing them. As far as losing a phone, it happens to everyone, just happened to be a tester this time.

I'ld hate to be that tester going back to the office and telling them what happened.

I for one will be selling my almost 1 year old 3GS and upgrading as soon as this comes out. Multi-tasking on the Iphone = WIN!

I may be wrong, but doesn't the 3gS qualify to upgrade to OS 4.0?

Your 3GS will have multi tasking when the new OS update comes out this summer :tu
