One of the biggest surprises of 2010 in the IT industry might be Apple’s sudden inability to keep its upcoming products hidden from the public eye. A company usually well known for its secrecy, Apple has been losing the next generation iPhone left and right; this time, a slew of images (and a video) of another iPhone 4G prototype appeared on Vietnamese site taoviet.vn.
This new prototype is very similar to the one Gizmodo had bought last month, but there are some minor differences; for example, this one lacks the screws at the bottom. Furthermore, this new device has been turned on, sporting an image of an explosion and the sign “Inferno” on the screen.
As always, there’s a very slight possibility that this device is fake, but due to the number of images (including a full teardown of the device) and the video (embedded below), it’s 99% real.
*Update: a closer look on the device’s innards reveals the possibility that this iPhone prototype sports the Apple A4 microprocessor; similar to the one found in the iPad.
