Prototype iPhone N94 back plate gets leaked?
MacPost has received what, if authentic, appears to be the back plate of Apple's iPhone N94 prototype. Whether N94 is iPhone 5 or an updated iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S is unknown.
The codename ‘N94′ marked on cover clearly indicates that it is a fifth-generation iPhone part. The front cover, however, is labeled “EVT2″ (Engineering Verification Testing) with date ’07-June-2011′, marking it as early development prototype.
Code references to N93 and N94 were discovered a while ago by 9to5Mac, and seen in the wild (and on T-Mobile) by BGR and while MacCast ascribes them to perhaps GSM and CDMA variants of iPhone 5, it might be too early to tell at this point. However, if these represent iPhone 5, they're a far more conservative update than recent case leaks, and renders commissioned by MacRumors would have suggested.
TiPb also heard previously that Apple has a lower-end budget iPhone or iPhone nano ready to go for this year, making the mix even harder to predict than usual.

Why do you constantly post pointless shit like that you fucking idiot.
Maybe somebody could scan the QR code?
I doubt that this is the iPhone 5. There's been rumors that Apple has been using iPhone 4 cases with the iPhone 5 internals to keep the hardware design a secret.

I love how Apple prototype names are real Nokia names
Do you people have lives?
Not to be a jerk... but isn't this just a CDMA iPhone 4 white back cover you can but off Cellular Nationwide Network, iphone4parts.com or any number of the HK distributers? It looks identical to the degree that I'm shocked anyone would believe it's anything but.
