    Apple iPhone 4G : another one out in the open. Video on youtube

    from Vietnam ....

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6AAnUHePbe4

    It's clearly pre-production judging by the XXX placeholders on the backside stamp and likely lacks a bootable OS, just a "Bonfire" test routine.

    There is a difference from this model and the one Gizmodo bought , ie the pair of screws at the bottom of the device are gone. The cleaner design could indicate a newer prototype (closer to the actual retail model) though both the iPhone 3G and 3GS went to market with a similar pair of screws.

    No doubt he can expect a visit form Apple's henchmen and his door booted down pretty soon

    I heard about another surfacing earlier today, is there any news about who the source in the video is? Is that Apple logo on his folder i.e. is he a Apple worker who has stolen the phone?

    Man this looks so good! I love the new design. The flat back glass surface, the metal surrounding shell etc. In my opinion it looks much better than the 3G/3GS. The front facing camera is a god send. Hopefully there will be a full iChat client as well as support for 3rd party applications like Skype. Video calling would work brilliantly.

    Also Engadget seems to think that its most likely a A4 CPU inside. Here are the rumoured specs of the machine:

    1GHZ A4 CPU
    512MB RAM
    5MP rear camera with LED flash
    1.3MP front facing camera
    Noise cancellation microphone
    940x640 screen resolution
    Micro-SIM tray
    Available in 16GB, 32GB and 64GB models
    Ships with iPhone OS 4.0

    Cant wait for it!

    Same here Malty, I was looking for Steve Jobs on twitter and saw a post saying something about how many are out in the wild. It was from a fake Jobs page though.

    PCB



    Up close (if you look closely enough), you can make out black "N90" text on the white sticker , which is Apple's internal codename for the 4th generation device



    Seeing "339S0084" on that chip ? Guess what? That's the Apple A4 microprocessor fabricated by Samsung and the presumed work of Apple's (very recently acquired) Intrinsity engineers. The "APL0398" text is also the same as that found on the iPad's A4 system-on-chip.

    /me sighs.

    EVERYTHING so far on the new device can be found below..

    The kids at Taoviet have really outdone themselves. From the looks of these images, the Vietnamese site has nabbed an honest to goodness 4th generation iPhone -- a 16GB model to be exact. It's clearly pre-production judging by the XXX placeholders on the backside stamp and likely lacks a bootable OS, just a "Bonfire" test routine. Nevertheless, it looks authentic enough that we expect Apple's henchmen to be busting down the guy's door before he pries it open to reveal Apple's chipset of choice. A few more pics in the gallery.

    Update: We've spotted a difference from this model and the unit that Gizmodo bought. Notably, the pair of screws at the bottom of the device are gone. The cleaner design could indicate a newer prototype (closer to the actual retail model) though both the iPhone 3G and 3GS went to market with a similar pair of screws. Comparison shot after the break.

    Update 2: Oops, too late Apple, teardown pics added showing an Apple branded processor. Note the black "N90" text on the white sticker -- that's the rumored internal codename for Apple's next generation GSM iPhone. Yeah, that looks like the A4 processor to us.

    Update 3: Video! Unfortunately, this sucker's never going to boot to the OS. And if the translation in our comments is correct then the unit was purchased for US$4,000.

    They are getting closer to an worthy iPhone opponent.

    Seems the only company able to compete to be honest.

    He makes a very valid point at 1:03

    Couldn't agree more with what he had say at that point.

    Im hoping the HTC EVO will be released over here in a GSM form. To be honest when I saw the phone being announced the 4G aspect was the last thing I cared about. The beautiful 4.3 inch screen, HDMI out, 8MP rear camera etc make this one of the best mobile devices of the year and coupled with Android 2.2 Froyo and the new JIT environment and Adobe Flash 10.1 it becomes even better!
