haha apple got owned
[QUOTE=Hikaru;21461438]This seems like it could possibly be a (really really good) publicity stunt by Apple. "Oh goodness me I hope I don't leave my new prototype phone at the pub for some techie to find and post about on Gizmodo" :smug:[/QUOTE] I agree... And what about remote bricking the device? That doesn't sound too far-fetched IMO
[url]http://gizmodo.com/5520479/a-letter-apple-wants-its-secret-iphone-back[/url] And now Gizmodo have to give it back.
Yeah this is totally not a planned leak by apple themselves...
I hope Apple rage about this... we haven't had a good rage from Apple since the first Jail-breaking of the IPhones
Who cares? It's an iPhone with a fucking camera on the front, phones have had cameras for what, a decade? Hell, Apple probably orchestrated the "leak" for some free PR, we all know how much they love to stroke the market and hype stupid people into selling their products for them.

I'd love to buy one. I've always wanted an iPhone, but this looks like an improvement over the last ones.
Droids are so much better than iPhones. especially because i can play gameboy advanced on my motodroid Edit: Also: IIRC The camera is nothing new. My friend has an iphone and it has a camera on it. [editline]02:12PM[/editline] The prototype does look pretty cool though, I'll bet it's going to be the exact same shoddy software though :I
[QUOTE=Hendo;21462584]haha apple got owned[/QUOTE] Not really, the free publicity they are getting is immense (assuming it wasn't a controlled leak)
don't worry, there is still one out in the wild... since Feburary [url]http://www.macrumors.com/2010/04/20/theres-still-another-prototype-iphone-in-the-wild/[/url] [editline]08:44AM[/editline] [QUOTE=toxicpiano;21465856]Not really, the free publicity they are getting is immense (assuming it wasn't a controlled leak)[/QUOTE] it's still free plublicty even it was a controlled leak, all they had to do was "lose" one.
Why couldn't Apple have made the thing remotely self-destruct? It was a prototype after all.
[QUOTE=pentium;21466021]Why couldn't Apple have made the thing remotely self-destruct? It was a prototype after all.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't be suprised if for now on all of Apple's prototypes would be made to self-destruct remotely if they are lost.
[QUOTE=pentium;21466021]Why couldn't Apple have made the thing remotely self-destruct? It was a prototype after all.[/QUOTE] It remotely bricked itself

It's probably a controlled leak, maybe Apple wants to draw speculation away from the iPad.
[QUOTE=Zak1392;21466202]It remotely bricked itself[/QUOTE] blowing up is more effective.
Great free publicity for the bar
That is one ugly brick.

Oh and I think the iPhone never had a [i]front[/i] camera. Video calls anyone?

Whoa, looks much better than the old design.
[QUOTE=demoguy08;21466692]Whoa, looks much better than the old design.[/QUOTE] This one look like a phone. I hate phone looking shit.
Seeing as they are getting media coverage, that would normally cost millions for nothing a all, I smell fake. This might be the new iPhone (if they don't change the name), but I think it's a setup.

IT JUST WOULDNT BE THE SAME ITS LIKE PLAYING GAMEBOY ON PC.
Should sell it to one of apples competitors and make a few bucks.

You can't watch porn on an Apple product, remember? It'll fail miserably :v:
