SEATTLE — Another possible next-generation iPhone prototype has surfaced, this time in Vietnam. U.S. blogs reposted video of someone holding the phone and photos of it being taken apart. The original Vietnamese websites could not be accessed Wednesday afternoon.
The iPhone looks similar to one found in a San Francisco Bay Area bar recently. That was sold to gadget blog Gizmodo in April for $5,000. Apple is notoriously secretive about unfinished products. It confirmed it owned the Gizmodo phone but didn’t call it the next iPhone. Analysts expect a new model next month.
After Gizmodo returned the phone, law enforcement searched the blogger’s home and seized computers. A dispute over the legality of a search warrant is ongoing in California. The Associated Press
