Rumors spread fast on the net especially when it involves the word iPhone.
Gizmodo, a tech Website, claimed to have obtained a black iPhone 4G that was lost in a Redwood City bar. The iPhone 4.0 OS was apparently installed on the phone until Apple terminated it remotely.
The site inspected the iPhone and confirmed it looks very different from the original. The iPhone 4G has an aluminum border wrapped around it’s perimeter.
It uses a micro-sim card, carries an additional video camera in the front, contains a camera flash at the back, higher screen resolution, and two split metallic volume buttons. Supposedly, the 4G also carries a battery life of 16 percent higher than the original iPhone.
While speculation mounts regarding whether the iPhone is legitimate, Gizmodo claims it is a valid finding Apple labels within the device suggesting it was the real iPhone 4G.
According to John Gruber, owner of daringfireball.net who has connections with Apple, the company considers iPhone 4G to be stolen. Gurber also wrote that Gizmodo actually bought the iPhone 4G from an unknown source.
Apple recently released a beta version of the iPhone 4.0 OS software to iPhone Developer Program members on April 8 and will be available to consumers this summer, an Apple press statement wrote.
