Apple’s Next iPhone Gets Lost; Gizmodo Pounces With Video Walk-Through

Wow. If we are to believe this story to be true (and, honestly, why wouldn’t we?) a prototype for the new Apple iPhone was found lost in a bar in Redwood City. Engadget had the first pictures this weekend, but now Gizmodo has a lovely video walk-through that will get any iPhone user excited about an upgrade. One can only wonder, hope pray that somehow the new iPhone will also come with less dropped calls?

Gizmodo’s Jason Chen provides a detailed video walk-through
. The actual post includes more details than one could ever want, but some highlights include:

What’s new

• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
…
What’s 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 aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)

A ten second embeddable video of the new smart phone is below, presented in the most seductive and teasing way possible.
