New iPhone 4G PICTURES, VIDEO Leak: 'iPhone HD' Revealed?

It seems eager Apple fans may not have to wait for Steve Jobs to take the stage to find out what will the next iPhone, dubbed the 'iPhone 4G' (or iPhone HD) will look like.

Gizmodo claims to have gotten its hands on 'Apple's next iPhone'--and has posted extensive pictures and video to prove it.

According to Gizmodo, which disassembled and inspected the purported iPhone 4G, new features of the upcoming iPhone include: a front-facing video camera, flash for the camera, a better display, an improved camera lens, an aluminum side casing (instead of plastic), an additional 3 grams of heft, and a 16 percent bigger battery.

This (alleged) iPhone 4G was lost at a bar in Redwood City, California, and had been disguised to resemble an iPhone 3GS. Gizmodo says of the found phone, 'We're as skeptical--if not more--than all of you. We get false tips all the time. But after playing with it for about a week--the overall quality feels exactly like a finished final Apple phone--and disassembling this unit, there is so much evidence stacked in its favor, that there's very little possibility that it's a fake. In fact, the possibility is almost none.'

Is this leaked iPhone 4G the real thing? Check out the photo and video below and tell us what you think.

Engadget has turned up additional photographic 'proof' of the iPhone 4G, which Daring Fireball's John Gruber lends credence to by pointing to a 2006 Apple patent filing.

they price it so it sells and guess what price that will be if they release on Verizon this year... The same price as ATT... not one dime cheaper.

While i think that this version looks sweet...

I am going to say that this was intentionally leaked by apple and that the new iphone looks nothing like this.

WOW! My current IPhone is junk compared to this one! I guess all of our iPhones are junk now... I wish Apple would make a phone that is upgradable and then I would not feel so used and taken advantage of. Maybe I will just switch to an Android phone... Motorola just seems to have a longer R&D time before they start selling a new phone.

I would like to add that the biggest outward change is the new flat backside and since the "new" iPad shares the curved backside with the "old" iPhone, I am wondering if next year's iPad will also have a flat backside?

Apple like to control reporters and reporting about the company. Come to think of it, they also like to control the software, hardware and applications. While the Gizmodo/Apple flareup is fun to read in a sort of beer garden phone home way, Apple's threats to squash all leaks is not funny. Reminds me of Nixon, Pentagon Papers with a business twist.

I'll believe this is new version when Jobs gets out on stage with it in June, otherwise can anyone say iSlate?

Could HufPo please tune down the Apple enthusiasm.
The tech site of HufPo looks like an Apple fan-site nowadays.

Yeah, right. An engineer lost the phone at a bar in Redwood City. Sure, Gizmodo "returned" the phone to Apple at Apple's request. Right. And the tooth fairy exists? Anyone from Apple confirm this? No. We're all supposed to believe Gizmodo. Right. Sure.

Apple is not going to take me for a fool with its iPhone gimmick. Everyone knows that those phones are made in China and there must be a least a thousand blue print all over China. The fabrics in China are already mass producing their own version of iPhone with a different name. http://www.digitalundivide.com

It's still a prototype and could look different. That phone looks a little rough. I'm not liking the boxiness so much. The silver band around the width of the phone reminds me of my Toshiba Gigabeat I had years ago. I hope it has those feature but just looks different.
