Folks over at Gizmodo have finally spilled the beans on how they actually got hold of Apple?s darling, that is the next-generation iPhone which was lost at a bar in Redwood City. We are not sure of how much of this is truth, but at least this what we ?have been told so far.

Gray Powell ? Apple Software Engineer
The story goes on like this: Apple Software Engineer named Gray Powell who is responsible for working on baseband of the new iPhone goes to a bar. Drinks beer, and forgets his iPhone on the stool as he leaves the bar in drunken state. It is picked up by a random stranger who asks around, nobody claims the phone. He plays with it for a bit, thinking it is iPhone 3GS (the phone was wrapped in an iPhone 3G/3GS like shell to disguise it). Next day he wakes up, finds the phone bricked (OS was said to be remotely wiped via MobileMe service). He removes the outer shell and finds something new ? the next Apple iPhone. And rest is history!

Reportedly, Gizmodo paid the guy around $5000 ? $10000 USD to get hold of the device. They do their story, and then contacts the Apple Engineer to return the phone.
Gray Powell: Hello?
John Herrman: Is this Gray?
G: Yeah.
J: Hi, this is John Herrman from Gizmodo.com.
G: Hey!
J: You work at Apple, right?
G: Um, I mean I can?t really talk too much right now.
J: I understand. We have a device, and we think that maybe you misplaced it at a bar, and we would like to give it back.
G: Yeah, I forwarded your email [asking him if it was his iPhone], someone should be contacting you.
J: OK.
G: Can I send this phone number along?
J: [Contact information]
Needless to say, this has to be the greatest Apple product leak of all time. Whether the leaked iPhone is real or not, looks good or bad is one thing, but the fact that we now know almost everything about it before the official announcement kills all the excitement. It is like finding about out your own surprise party. Most of the fun is now gone. Thoughts?
We all saw this coming didn?t we? Apple apparently has sent an official letter to Gawker Media ? the company which runs Gizmodo blog, requesting them to return their ?secret? handset. The letter was signed by Bruce Sewell, the Senior Vice President & General Counsel of Apple Inc and can be seen as attached below.

It now seems like the new iPhone which Engadget got hold of from a bar in San Jose, California was indeed the real deal. Another gadget blog Gizmodo has now got their hands on the handset which they are said to have found from a bar in Redwood City. While we cant say for sure that this is the final design that Apple has zeroed upon, but the likelihood of this being the next-iPhone seems very high now as also confirmed by Apple critic John Gruber of Daring Fireball.

iPhone 3GS on the left, the rumored iPhone 4G/HD on right.
So I called around, and I now believe this is an actual unit from Apple ? a unit Apple is very interested in getting back. I am not certain that this looks like the actual production unit Apple in tends to ship to consumers.

The rumored iPhone 4G/HD on left, iPhone 3GS on the right.
And without any further delay, the findings of Gizmodo are as follows.
What?s new
? Front-facing video chat camera
? Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
? Camera flash
? Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
? Improved display. It?s unclear if it?s the 960?460 display thrown around before?it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
? What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
? Split buttons for volume
? Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic
What?s changed
? The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
? An aluminum border going completely around the outside
? Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
? Everything is more squared off
? 3 grams heavier
? 16% Larger battery
? Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery
Here is a short video of it in action.

The next-generation iPhone, along with iPhone OS 4 are expected to be unveiled this summer, probably on June 22 at the annual WWDC conference. A CDMA version of iPhone on Verizon is also expected to be announced at the same event. [via Gizmodo]
