Gizmodo report: You are looking at Apple’s next iPhone. It was found lost in a Bar in Redwood City, camouflaged to look like an iPhone 3GS. We got it. We disassembled it. It’s the real thing, and here are all the details.While Apple may tinker with the final packaging and design of the final phone, it’s clear that the features in this lost-and-found, next-generation iPhone are drastically new and drastically different from what came before.
What’s new
- Front-facing video chat camera
- Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
- Camera flash
- Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
- Improved display -It’s unclear if it’s the 960×460 display thrown around before – it certainly looks like it, with the “Connect to iTunes” screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
- What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
- Split buttons for volume
- Power, mute and volume buttons are all metallic
Whats changed?
- The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through.
- Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
- An aluminium border going completely around the outside
- Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
- Everything is more squared off
- 3 grams heavier
- 16% larger battery
- Internals components are shrunken, miniaturised and reduced to make room for the larger battery
