iPhone 4G images leaked

Pictures apparently showing the next-gen iPhone have appeared online, some five months before the phone is due for release.

During the launch of the iPad, when interest in Apple products had reached fever pitch, tech site Engadget published a snap online showing what appeared to be a pre-launch version of the iPhone 4G, in all its low-res blurry glory.

According to AppleInsider, this image, which had been touted as the iPhone 4G, has since been confirmed as verifiable and trustworthy, although the poor quality means that little can actually be gathered from studying it.

The emergence of the pictures is being treated by some as indicating the imminent arrival of the iPhone 4G, with a summer release date looking likely.

Speculation of this nature is based on the fact that it would be in Apple's interest to keep quiet about the iPhone 4G's development in order to avoid stealing attention from the launch of the iPad.

Consumers may otherwise shun its latest tablet offering in favour of waiting a couple of months for the powerful new iPhone.

Expect more rumours and speculation to appear over the coming months, with Apple keeping quiet right up until the actual launch date, whenever that may be.

    To let you all know and this is totally true. I am 13 and a friend at my school has already got the new ipod touch, so he told me. His brother or w/e works for Apple and he took the iPhone from somewhere.

    The name is iPhone 4G S and it will come in different colours. I didn't ask him about anything else because we were both going to extra help. I will ask him tomorrow.

    This is clearly not the newest iPhone. Look at how thin it is - It's obviously just a case. What's more, that dot next to the ear speaker that everyone seems to think is the front-facing video camera isn't even level with the earphone. Apple would never use something so tacky and place it out of alignment.

    Also @Macario: Are you sure that it's the new iPod? It's just that I find it hard to believe that Apple would ever allow someone to take the "new iPod" and give it to one of their sibllings to take to school and show off.

    Apple loves the element of surprise, which is why it never lets anything leak, not pictures, nor information, and certainly not the product itself.
