4th-gen Apple iPhone dimensions leaked

Right here is how the shanzhai players manage to stay one step ahead of the big brands; in some cases bringing out “clones” before the actual product is launched. Parts supplier China Ontrade has listed what it claims is the "Apple iPhone 4 Generation Midboard", complete with height and width dimensions and a few other particulars. Listed as being delivered from Foxconn (manufacturer of Apple’s iPhone) a few days ago, China Ontrade does have a history of leaking info early, posting details of parts fitted to the iPhone 3GS a month before that product was launched by Apple.

Along with a slot for a camera and some sort of docking connector, it’s also possible the 4th-gen iPhone will be SIM-enabled too, given China Ontrade lists a replacement SIM tray directly below the midboard. Interesting too, that the tray’s listed as an "Apple iTablet iPhone 4 Generation SIM Tray" perhaps suggesting that Apple’s rumoured iTablet product will also have a SIM card slot.



From the looks of the dimensions, the 4th-gen phone is going to be slightly smaller than the current 3GS, which is good news. The listing is also good news for shanzhai players who are bound to be constructing iPhone clones around this midboard already. Don’t be surprised to see 4th-gen iPhones on the streets of Shenzhen before Apple gets their product out.
