This iPhone 4G prototype seems to be running a ‘proto-OS’ called Inferno and that’s all it does. It shows the same screen that we saw in the previous Vietnamese leak after booting.
As I previously mentioned, these leaks are terrible for Apple. For a company who basically markets its products over the hype around their secrecy, this is the complete opposite of what Apple would want. There’s a school of thought which thinks that these leaks are being done on purpose. The answer for them simply is that Apple wouldn’t have involved the police in this iPhone-Gizmodo case if that was a fact.
Just how much these leaks would hurt Apple will be seen this summer when Apple unveils the next generation iPhone 4G. I hope it doesn’t look like this prototype that has been leaked like hell all over the Internet. Hopefully, Steve Jobs has a plan B ( or prototype B ) to still keep the element of surprise on their side.
Only time will tell.
