Fake, the sim tray tolerances are much too thick. Jony Ive would never allow this.

CHL · 16 years ago

Foxconn manufactures Iphone in Shenzhen China. Nothing is missing as far as look is concern except one. The screen looks just slightly shorter. Fake.

drew · 16 years ago

Franz · 16 years ago

It’s the real one.

Abe does not purchase fake gadgets. Period. lolz

roan carl · 16 years ago

Mike · 16 years ago

I looks like a teaser for upcoming iphone 4 in the philippines. Its pretty common for an apple products especially iphone. Marketing kind of thing. LOL

Ang Maniniyot · 16 years ago

Please confirm if this is the iPhone 4 or just another iClone phone. :D

Joshua · 16 years ago

ok another mistake on the iPhone text, it was just shining so i said it was supposed to be white lol anyway the camera and usb port is still covered :D

superdan · 16 years ago

fake yan. not because wala na yung disk size sa likod. wala na talaga sya sa iphone 4. pero what gave it away are the 2 screws sa may charger/cable port area nya. dapat meron nun. haha.

as for clarification lang, iphones are made in china yun nga lang meron silang disclosure na the unit is designed in california. hehe. yan yung nakalagay sa mga apple products ko e. hehe.

sir abe, lupit naman nito. does it have the same specs/kinks as the real iphone 4?

simplynice93 · 16 years ago

At first, It looked like an iPhone 4 plastic replica. I looked at Apple’s website and compared in to your “iPhone 4” picture. Conclusion…It is the iPhone 4!

Joshua · 16 years ago

Correction di pala front camera (i laughed) at my mistake XD its back camera

Joshua · 16 years ago

It is not the real thing! why? look at image 3 and 4; the front camera is HOLLOW!

second the “iPhone” text should be white instead of black

third the USB port is covered and white! it should be open and black!

JKisaragi · 16 years ago

It’s the iPhone’s brother from another mother (or sister from another mister? O_O)

KIRF (me thinks). The phone’s back cover doesn’t give that shiny/glossy effect that the iPhone 4’s have (glass).

Or maybe my eyes are failing me. O_O

Tsing Tsong Tsay · 16 years ago

its a fake…maliit kasi ang screen….ma-pag iiwanan yan ng 4inches na screen nag Motorolla & HTC

Adrian · 16 years ago

Jeff Stone Wakabayashi · 16 years ago

John Ray Cabrera · 16 years ago

is this a contest? guessing the right answer would entitle us to have a chance to win one?

dulfo · 16 years ago

Hi sir Abe, is this the one diassembled by Gizmodo? Of course not, just looks similar except the color. For now at least, I have to agree that’s its an Iclone4.

cheftonio · 16 years ago

100% fake. File name of the photo says iPhone 4 dummy. Hehehe

Euan · 16 years ago

Jon · 16 years ago

Fake! Haha. But a very convincing fake.

nitecrawler · 16 years ago

a FAKE.. The Back Facing Camera and the Charger Slot is close and screws are missing

Teknisyan · 16 years ago

cutemoboy · 16 years ago

aint real.. the real one has a black home button even if its a white version of the fone.. saw it on some tech sites. & the white iphone is only avail in the U.K

Jiro Yan · 16 years ago

Fake

fr0stbyte · 16 years ago

Most obvious thing was.. White iPhones are not even available in the US, let alone China.. (read this sometime ago at Engadget). Though I could be wrong.

manaka_junpei · 16 years ago

baka yan ang binili sa Greenhills

snpklsdmbldr · 16 years ago

Jade Bryan · 16 years ago

vergel · 16 years ago

judging by the looks maybe this is the real thing..hehehehe post ka na ng review idol FTW!

Calvin · 16 years ago

hehe kulet ah. mukhang fake. kelan balik mo?

Jab · 16 years ago

I think it’s a KIRF… I think the screen is too small on the last pic…

cjportana · 16 years ago

I think it’s not even a phone….

Herce · 16 years ago

That is a well done KIRF!

Can’t wait till we get to the point where we can buy KIRF phones that are really as good as the original but half the price and none of the crappy corporate control.

Lets place bets. I say it’ll start to happen within the next 5 years.
