Can this be the next generation iPhone from Apple? There is a series of photos leaked out by UMPCFever which compares the current iPhone and the new prototype. Two new features are revealed, auto-focus camera and the built-in magnetometer.
From Google translated text of the site:
It’s already 3am, and I totally cannot sleep. ‘Cuz I just came home after meeting a friend from the U.S. This friend brought me something, and it’s not H1N1. Instead, it is a item that will be under the world’s spotlights — a third generation iPhone prototype. This friend is a mysterious person. Even this 3rd Gen iPhone is also very mysterious. He said one can only take fuzzy snapshots of it, and not clear shots. ‘Cuz it’s still not officially released. So, in regards to the fuzzy photos below, I apologize!
Also, since this is a prototype, the styling of the phone absolutely cannot be disclosed. And there is also a high likelihood that the final product will differ in look. So, there will not be any photos here that compare the old and new iPhone in terms of appearance.
