It appears that Apple has lost yet another next-gen iPhone prototype. This time, instead of Gizmodo breaking the news, these images have surfaced on a Vietnamese forum called Taoviet.vn (cached page). This extensive gallery itself doesn’t seem to add any new information we already know from the Gizmodo leak.
The device only booted to firmware, and did not play well with iTunes when connected to a computer.
However, iFixit goes on to confirm, from the photos, that the iPhone prototype is equipped with an Apple A4 chip, the same processor that powers the iPad. iFixit goes on to confirm that the new model will have 256MB of RAM, which of course, is the same amount loaded into both the iPad, iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (32 and 64GB models).
Lastly, the device is labeled as “N90 PRO2.” N90 is the previously confirmed ID number for the next-gen iPhone. At this time however, it is unknown what the “PRO2” stands for. “Production”, maybe?
So, another iPhone prototype has made it’s way into the wild. There is no doubt that this is what the next iPhone will look like, in general. I think Apple will remove the visible seems for production models however. So, think of the power in seen in the iPad, squeezed into the iPhone form factor. This will be exciting.
