The iPhone 4's outer case makes it on camera... in Portugal
iPhone 4 parts just keep on dribbling out of China and turning up around the world -- this time it's the next-gen phone's outer case on a video from iPhone Portgual. The site actually has two cases, which it says were purchased by a reader in China, and while they look genuine enough, we obviously can't tell for certain whether they're real. In any event, at this rate we'll have enough leaked parts to assemble the entire damn thing by the time Steve takes the stage at WWDC to announce it in a few days -- or hey, maybe he'll just show it off at D8 tonight. Either way, we'll be there. Videos after the break.

"In any event, at this rate we'll have enough leaked parts to assemble the entire damn thing by the time Steve takes the stage at WWDC to announce it in a few days"
A DIY iPhone! That'd be new!
@who said what LEGO iphone! My patent!
@Nick B
While the first few leaks were weird, the fact that yet /another/ one has sprung reeks of conspiracy.
@drlisbon
No, they're not. WHO CARES?? You'll get to see the damn thing for yourself when they release it!!!
@Nick B
I'm totally believing these are legit. Especially with all the discontent at Foxconn in China. Disgruntled worker sells secret goods to get back.
@Nick B Attention! The subtitles do not match to what he is saying.
@Nick B
If Josh Topolsky had posted it, it would be breaking news ;)
@Nick B Wanna know what would be really awesome? If Steve reveals a completely different iPhone design to the world. That would be the biggest story, EVAR. Apple trolling the entire world.
The question remains, WTF are the seams for???
@Nick B
I don't have an iPhone yet.
sent from my iPhone.
@hq Hahaha, too true!
Anyway, I honestly, in my humble opinion, believes Apple took a step back in terms of design. I'm sure the new phone will be plenty powerful, but I liked the look of the iphone/3g/3gs. I'm sure most people won't care, but it is surprising coming from a company like apple. Just my $0.02. Cheers.
@Atkins
A kit phone.
@drlisbon Nobody finds it strange that there seems to be a leak from a different country each time?
It seems Apple's PR team thought it would be a smart move to hide the fact they are the ones actually leaking them.
@Nick B
Loving it, the metal's awesome indeed.
@Nick B
This thing is starting to look very nokia N96 style
@HotFuzz I was kinda hoping it would be a status light or something... kinda like on the gameboy, changes color depending on battery status and or other dependency's such as missed calls and unread messages.
But really at this moment I am begging to think that its just a design choice by apple and really has no function other than puzzling everyone.
@HotFuzz They are for a notification lights.
@Nick B What if all of these leaks really were fake and apple turns out a completely different iPhone
@Nick B From USA, to Vietnam, to Portugal, then Back to USA.. This is what you called Around the world before 80 days. http://j.mp/iphone-4g-vietnam
Apple just can't keep the wraps on the iPhone this year..
@Shadow08
I think this is bullshit. After years of secrecy why would so much start leaking from apple now? I say this was done to ensure apple stays in the public eye while things like the Evo and Incredible are released.
@tobsmonster2
Seriously, stay in the public eye? They stayed in the public eye with the Droid, the N1 and everything else that has been released.
You know how every 2nd comment on Youtube is 'fake!', that's what you're doing here
@tobsmonster2 LOL, stay in the public eye?! That's the funniest thing I have heard today! Lol.
Either u forgot to add the /s at the end, or u didn't realise the article was about an APPLE product and not a google one.
@tobsmonster2
QFT
@tobsmonster2
Seriously, since when has Apple had a hard time staying out of the public eye? Why would they NEED to leak anything? Did you even think about that at all?
Is there a prototype in every damn country?!
@Snarf101 Except the poor USA
@ianpig
Umm, it WAS in the USA where the first prototype was found...
@Snarf101
next headline will be "Osama Bin Laden exclusive iPhone 4 prototype review from Afghanistan"
@Snarf101 'xept osama is not in afganistan
@Snarf101
I heard Mustafa Abu al-Yazid found one...and look what happened to him recently!
@wickywills
LMAO!
@ianpig Fail
@Snarf101
they were testing "world time" a new magical feature from Apple, I mean that Apple reinvented for us
hahahaha. nice one.
@Snarf101 i would fist comment on that article to say... "stupid engadget, he's in pakistan" ;)
New iPhone travelling around the world before the release..
@Dking7
around the world, around the wooorld
daft punk, some body should make a YouTube video of all the lost prototypes with daft punk's around the world playing in the background.
Or maybe this song should be Apple's theme song for June 7th, lol
@fizzio

Globalization.
should I get the new iphone or the samsung galaxy s? Its crap the Htc arnt releasing the Evo in europe-otherwise I would get that instead
@garfieldfriends
If it were me buying, I'd get the Galaxy S, but that's only because I don't mind not getting updates. If you must have a phone that's always running the latest firmware, then I wouldn't get a Samsung Android phone. Prior history doesn't bode well.
@BigJayDogg3 i like android but i would get the iphone over a samsung... wont touch samsung hardware and why dont you just get the n1 the major difference is the screen
@drksilenc Yeh- I heard samsung are notorius for updating thier hardware-shame as well cos right now i want my first touchscreen phone and the galaxy s looks pretty slick..guess i might go iphone then..
Will there be something about this phone on the 7th we don't know already?
@erwin Doubt it...we already saw the new OS, learned that is has a front facing camera, and the shell/body has been leaked all over...
Not sure if we heard about the internal specs yet, though I could be wrong.
@erwin
we don't know how the video chat will be implemented yet =]
@erwin the price?
