3G iPhone to sport a black case?

3G iPhone?

We’re not sure whether to believe this or not, but apparently the image above represents the upcoming 3G iPhone. The bad thing we hear is that instead of using a metal, Apple may opt for the plastic case. That’s a plastic case with glossy black finish, but still, the material would make the iPhone less solid.

From what we know, the iPhone is “months away” but somehow we doubt Apple will reduce the built quality of one of its flagship products. The 8GB mark along with the rest of the text on the case indicates its not a ColorWare work. We’ll see where this goes…

    Maybe they used plastic instead of metal to reduce the weight? Still I liked best the metal casing.

    Well, if this is real, they’ll be using plastic for the added radios probably.

    Am I the only one who noticed what looks like scroll or volume control buttons on the upper right of this mock-up? These buttons are the only proof that it’s not a modded original iPhone.

    I’m not sure that’s a scroll wheel. It looks like regular iPhone buttons. They may be bit bigger, but that’s it.

    Can you say “fingerprint magnet”?

    Here’s the question guys,

    Will the new iPhone be the same with extra radio’s and a front facing cam.

    OR

    Will the new iPhone be completely new!

    If the new iphone will be a new model (iphone2 for example) then this is definitely not the real new iphone
