Gizmodo Finds New Apple iPhone
Tech report website Gizmodo.com found the new Apple iPhone in a bar accidentally left there by someone from Apple. The new phone features a front-facing video chat camera and an improved back camera. There’s also a new camera flash and an improved display that might be around 960×640 resolution. It also uses a Micro-SIM instead of the standard SIM.
The back is entirely flat and made of some sort of shiny ceramic or plastic. There is an aluminum border around the outside and it has a slightly smaller screen than the 3 GS despite the higher resolution. Everything on the new iPhone is more squared off and it is three grams heavier than before. Apple confirmed that Gizmodo has a prototype phone and that they want it back.
