10 reasons not to buy Apple's new iPhone 4G - Telegraph
– Apple's iPhone is a triumph of marketing over functionality, and the new model won't be any different.

Apple's leak control has apparently failed again, with photos and video of yet another alleged iPhone 4G prototype appearing on a Vietnamese Internet forum and on YouTube. Indeed, the drama surrounding these prototypes -- the first was lost in a bar and bought by Gizmodo, which now faces legal trouble -- may be the most exciting part of the story, but ideally it's all in service of telling us more about the phone itself. Unfortunately, the supposed new iPhone 4G prototype doesn't reveal many more details, but it helps corroborate the specs in Gizmodo's earlier prototype and paints a more complete picture of Apple's next iPhone. Assuming this latest prototype is real, here's what we know so far: Design Apple appears to abandon the curvy shape of previous iPhones in favor of sharp angles on the edges. Gizmodo's prototype had screws in the aluminum border around the sides, but these are gone in the Vietnam version. I'm not thrilled with the new design, but that's another story. The back panel is made of glass, ceramic, shiny plastic, or maybe even sapphire (according to an Engadget commenter's translation of the latest video), and it's shiny and somewhat smudge-prone, just like the iPhone's front panel. Before the leaks, one analyst speculated that the back panel would be touch-sensitive, like Apple's magic mouse, but neither leak confirms this. Post Comment
