IPhone Prototype Found, Has Front-Facing Camera, Gizmodo Says
By Pavel Alpeyev
April 20 (Bloomberg) -- Apple Inc.s next iPhone will
feature a front-facing camera, metallic rim and boxier design,
according to technology blog site Gizmodo.com, which said it
obtained a prototype a company engineer had left at a bar.
The device, disguised as the current 3GS model, was
found in a bar in Redwood City, California, the Gawker Media-
owned blog said yesterday. The handset, which ran an
unreleased version of Apples operating system, is also equipped
with a camera flash, higher-resolution screen and larger
battery, the blog said.
The blog said the product is probably the real
thing. Gizmodo employees played with the prototype for a
week, disassembled it and found components labeled Apple.
The device was eventually remotely disabled, according to
Gizmodo.
