I propose to disprove that the image Engadget claims as proof actually depicts a slab-shaped iPhone. It is simply an optical artifact caused by the slow shutter speed of the camera used. I took a photo of an iPod Touch (using an iPhone, naturally) that shows the same smearing effect, visually extruding the iPod's chrome bezel into a slab (this one's too thick, but you get the idea):

As you can see from the other edges in the Engadget photo, the vertical motion blur follows the same direction and length as the purported 4G iPhone.
- dandelany 17y agoI propose to disprove your disproval, as the motion blur is actually at a slightly different angle than the angle of the slab/bevel. Also, the motion blur shows some unevenness - it slopes downward at the end of the blur - while the iphone slab is straight. http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7155/iphone4g.jpg http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/7155/iphone4g.jpg
