As you may (or may not) have heard, an iPhone was recently found in a bar in Redwood City, California. But, this is not just any iPhone. This is the NEXT iPhone. And as you can see, quite a few changes have been made...
And a few more pictures here....
As you can see, it's pretty different. Black on both the top and bottom, with silver sides, a flat back, front facing camera (yes, it's true, we now have VChat on the iPhone), as well as a high resolution camera on the back that now also has flash.
Other than the obvious, not much is known. Apple had the device wirelessly disabled soon after they discovered it was missing, although the guy that found it, who is still unidentified, reported that it was working when he picked it up, and was running the new OS, 4.0. From this, we can gather that it will have at least the RAM of the 3Gs, but we could have guessed that, anyway.
So, how does something like this happen? Do lots of people actually have an iPhone HD? Why don't we know about something like this sooner? Well, Apple's pretty smart. They know how to take care of their employees, so they give them the latest and greatest toys to try out. But they also don't want people to find out before they release it an kill their hype (What kind of Keynote would it be if everyone had seen the new device already?). So they disguised their new iPhone as an old one.
Pretty impressive. Even up close, it'd be hard to tell this from an older version, except that there are now markings on the back. Very clever, Apple, very clever.
So what's next for the iPhone HD? Who knows? We'll just have to wait and see.
