Leaked iPhone 4G linked to Foxconn employee suicide?

Apparently a misplaced / lost / stolen iPhone 4th Gen prototype has found its way to the hands of folks over at Gizmodo. This is the same device that I doubted to be original some time back, but it seems that investigation by Gizmodo reveals otherwise. They have claimed that the device boots to a iTunes screen and several other details have emerged.

  • 3gms more weight than the 3GS
  • 16% larger battery
  • ceramic / plastic type flat bed back cover
  • micro sim like in iPad
  • larger camera lens with Flash
  • smaller screen but better resolution suspected

While I would let go my personal opinion on this for now, the missing link that we are not considering here is the fact that last year a Foxconn employee had  committed suicide after misplacing a prototype of the next-gen iPhone. So is Gizmodo playing around with an iPhone 4G linked to this foxconn suicide?
