It's an improved version of the same exact thing that they released a couple years ago.  With a bit of improvement.   It's no big secret.   It's the same old iphone with different parts. 

Actually it is new. Every iPhone to date has used off the shelf ARM Processors from Samsung. This is the first iPhone to include a Apple in-house Designed CPU and I would imagine thats what they were so worried about getting out.

its not a top secret technology apple purchased a cpu chip maker a few years back everyone knew this is why.

Wouldn't bricking the phone and denying it belongs to them mean it's been discarded and not lost?

1. The phone is clearly different in appearance and hardware making it an obvious prototype.

2. He snooped that phone clean before reporting it so by the time they bricked the thing it was too late.

That would make it more likely to be a chinaphone than a prototype.

They bricked the phone by the time the sun came up, of course it'll be too late to call the owner (or anyone in the phonebook) back.

So, Me having a PC with an AMD CPU, and the same PC with an Intel CPU is a completely different thing.

Makes sense to me.

Let me put it a different way:

It's the same thing.  But with different parts.

Now you come back and tell me:  "It's the same thing, with different parts."   Just like you just did right there.  ^_^

It don't matter who's making the CPU, or what.  All they're doing is changing the brand of the CPU, swapping it for something slightly more powerful, and re-releasing the same device.

Now if this were ... I dunno ... 3d display brain implant phone, then yeah - ok, it's a new device.

It's iPhone, with more e-peen, integrated vibrating lube dispenser [to go with that e-peen], and steroids.  

That's about it.

Now, I'd say they have a new product if maybe they DUMP FRICKIN AT&T .... No, really, wtf were they thinking?  

This makes me think back to those Big Brother commercials they made.   You know what I'm talking about - the start of that Think different thing of theirs.   Except they're going hand in hand with the second biggest Bell of them all - Auntie Bell - younger sister of Ma Bell.   [ Here's a link about Ma Bell for you whipper snappers and non phreaks out there.  AT&T has all but resurrected Ma Bell - Yet another wonderful product of the Bush Administration. ]
