According to a report by The Chosum libo, the next Apple iPhone 4G / HD will feature a 5-megapixels camera from LG Innotek with LED flash. We have already heard similar rumors a number of times in the past that a 5MP camera with LED flash, along with a front-facing cam for video conferencing (via iChat) will be one of the many highlights of the next iPhone.
The guy who found the next Apple iPhone in a bar, and then reportedly sold it to Gawker Media for US $5000 has been identified by Wired as Brian Hogan. We had already posted earlier that Apple authorities approached Police to resolve the entire drama of the lost iPhone 4 prototype which also led to seizing of the Gizmodo's Editor computers.
Apple wasn’t kidding when they got Silicon Valley cops involved to investigate the lost iPhone HD/4G case. Last night, police entered Gizmodo’s editor-in-chief Jason Chen’s home (when he was away with wife) and held four computers and two servers in their custody and seized them. For those of you who don't know, Chen was the writer who wrote about the next Apple iPhone on Gizmodo.
The law enforcement agencies in Silicon Valley have stepped in to investigate how the next Apple iPhone was lost, and subsequently landed into Gizmodo labs where it was reviewed and ripped apart for the world to see. This is what the Police had to say.
According to a recent report, the “lost” next-gen iPhone 4G which was recently reviewed and ripped apart was likely the final thing which Apple was set to unveil this summer at WWDC 2010. The famed Apple critic John Gruber of Daring Fireball revealed that the barcode of the “lost” phone N90_DVT-GE4X_0493 indicates that this prototype was very late into the game.
Before handing over the handset back to Apple, Gizmodo had a full dissection of the next-gen iPhone. They found out that it had larger battery – around 19% than that of iPhone 3GS, processor (whether A4 chip or not) couldn't be verified as the logic board was completely sealed by Apple, it had tons of screws and every component was shrunken down to accommodate the larger battery which now takes around half of the inside.
Folks over at Gizmodo have finally spilled the beans on how they actually got hold of Apple’s darling, that is the next-generation iPhone which was lost at a bar in Redwood City. We are not sure of how much of this is truth, but at least this what we 'have been told so far.
The next-generation iPhone is expected to be unveiled in June at WWDC 2010 which will be held at Mascone Center in San Francisco. The real deal as we informed you earlier, has already been leaked in the wild.
The technology enthusiast site TechnoBuffalo has been tipped by a tipster who has found strong evidences in the latest iPhone OS 4 Beta which hints towards possibility of video chat/calling options coming in the next-generation iPhone. This evidence was found via a process named “iChatAgent”, which is revealed by a $0.99 app named “Free Memory Lite” from the iTunes App Store.
Earlier today, we informed you about a possible iPhone 4G/HD prototype which Engadget got hold of from the floor of a bar in San Jose, California. Later, MacRumors deemed them as fake, pointing towards a similar looking Japanese counterfeit product.
