Matte Black iPhone
via Macrumors.com
What's almost certain is that we will soon see a refreshed iPhone 3G, likely announced at Apple's annual WWDC conference keynote on June 8. What's up in the air is what said iPhone refresh will look like--but a series of leaked photos seem to suggest it will look something like this.
Essentially, it's a standard-looking iPhone 3G with a slick, matte black back cover instead of one made from glossy plastic. Blurry images of a matte-back iPhone have circulated before, but today the generally reliable site Mac Rumors got their hands on the most convincing photo yet, comparing the old glossy iPhone with a new one.
Not sure what the back is actually made of (my fingers are crossed for matte aluminum) or whether rumors of a faster processor and boosted 3G speeds will come true, but if Apple's recent history of almost mandatory pre-announcement leaks are any indication, this could very likely be what gets announced on Monday, the 8th. Hold off on buying a new phone for one more week!

if you google "iphone g4" a bunch of pictures will pop up of prototype ideas for the new iphone....i personally like the one that looks like a macbook (the brushed aluminum finish)...the matte finish on this one looks great..it kinda looks like the ruberized plastic u get on the lenovo thinkpads
I hope that the iPhone "4G" has more processing power, because I have the 3G and the connection is good but it lacks in processing power. I hope it improves before I even think about upgrading!
The "prototype" seems fake; the camera is covered over by the "finish". It looks like someone put a skin or finish on it and etched the designs.
oh yeah this totally makes me wanna go out and buy one. it's a different color, that must mean i should waste hundreds of dollars on it.
I am litte bit disappointed about the iPhone 3G S presantation.The new iPhone 3G S is faster, but all other featers you can use with the iPhone 3G and the new OS.

Now iPhone 3G S had come out, I just bought one, I like the apple's design and UI, I think it better then any other cell phone companies.
The most disappoint for iPhone 3G S is its battery, I just can't stand it.
Wish the next generation of iPhone. I guess Jobs can make better !
