iPhone 4g has been leaked!

Gizmodo has somehow magically come across an actual iPhone 4G prototype in the wild. Apparently it was found lost in a bar, cleverly disguised as a regular iPhone 3G with its protective case by someone, and then finally made its way to Gizmodo. It appears to be real because shortly after the device was reported as "lost" Apple remotely deactivated the device (which was running the new 4.0 OS) before Gizmodo could get it. It's pretty much been confirmed by Gizmodo that this thing is real, and they dissected it thoroughly for us gadget heads. Here is a rundown of the features:

• New front facing video camera.
• Larger camera on the back, probably means more pixels.
• Camera flash on the back as well
• No more standard SIM, now uses micro SIM like the iPad.
• It appears to have a higher resolution screen, no one knows the exact numbers.
• A secondary mic on the top for noise cancellation? I dunno, news to me...
• The volume buttons are now separated, no regular volume rocker.

• No more rounded back, the back is totally flat, with curves only on the corner edges of the device.
• Smaller screen, albeit higher resolution.
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% larger battery


This entire saga is pretty huge considering that Apple never has a leak of any kind. But this is the real deal folks, this is the next iPhone. We still have no idea when we will be able to buy this bad boy. The poor sucker who lost this thing however is probably face down in a gutter somewhere in California...
