Here’s the Apple-branded chip, which is a reduced version of the A4.
After enhancing the image, the chip is tagged:
339S0084
K4X2G643GE
YN6024Z3
APL0398
The same as the processor in the iPad:
Externally, it seems like a sightly more polished version of the one lost in California. This one doesn’t have the screws on its bottom, and the silkscreening seems final, showing 16GB. The screen looks really good, really sharp. Definitely higher resolution than the current generation, with a quality and viewing angle comparable to the iPad.
Knowing this, and since this lost iPhone 4 is located in Vietnam, it may very well be the final model. [Taoviet via MacRumors]

Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 9:57 AMApple execs will be publically saying …
” Oops..gee…we lost another..wow..fancy that!! We never loose anything and now all of a sudden two super secret iPhones!! Gee we are getting careless. And this one in Vietnam of all places??..wow, has to be a case of misplacement, our marketing people would never be so ‘out of ideas as to plant devices in various parts of the world to whet the appetites of our loyal customers , now would they?”
Privately…Apple execs just think that they’ve created the perfect scam. Set up a cult who’s followers will unquestioningly buy Apple’s new products as they are released, regardless of quality, features or need.
Steve Jobs…fire your marketing people, they’ve got nuthin. Then fire yourself for being a deceitful prick.

Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 8:41 PMi just realise it says 16GB on the back of one of the photos compared to the original leak which said XX. i was subtly hoping for a bump up in flash memory, with 32 being the starting model and 64 being the pricey version

Thursday, May 13, 2010 at 9:51 PMnote: it having the A4 is actually kinda a downer, it means there is no new tech from the 3GS!
apparently the A4 just houses the exact same processor and GPU and the iphone 3GS! the good news is, that these parts are pretty big overkill for the 3GS! and they are clocked no where near as high as they can be. the primary difference between the 3GS and the ipad is that everything is just clocked higher in the ipad.
so, as far as performance goes? the magic number will be the clock speed. presumably somewhere between the 3gs and the ipad. it serves to confirm a bit what I have though for a while, the performance diff between the 3GS and 4G will be only slight (especially with it now having to power a higher res screen). definitely compared to the massive increase between the 3G and 3GS, the performance jump this time will be subdued. but thats ok! the general consensus is, the 3G is just too slow, and the 3GS is fast enough! so 3G users, look forward to your contract ending and jumping forward a few light years in performance increase, 3GS owners, don’t fret, unless there is a new FEATURE they add that you desperately want, I don’t think you will be too jealous of your friend with a 4G.
but then again, who knows… we STILL don’t know the actual technical specifications and capabilities of ANY of the devices. certainly Apple has never let us know, not even developers.
