China Ontrade sells new piece of alleged fourth generation iPhone

These rumors are always very dubious: it is natural that Chinese suppliers end up having access, here and there, to information and components that will in fact be used in future Apple products, but the source of this has already precipitated in the past and, therefore, must be addressed. with caution.


When I received this tip on Sunday, sent by the reader Vinicius Azevedo, I didn't give it much importance, but readers' emails keep coming (stop !! :-P) and the Gizmodo he well remembered that it was not so long ago that China Ontrade International did it inside.

The one time ball “Midboard” (a kind of internal plate located between the iPhone screen and your motherboard, avoiding interference and making sure everything stays in place) of the fourth generation iPhone, sold on the website for around US $ 24. See s:

Again, according to China Ontrade, the component came from a Foxconn factory, one of Apple's major partners in the manufacture of its smartphone. For the company that a few days ago also put on the air a supposed chip tray for the same product, the new device will be launched in 2010, but I think it's kind of too early to be showing this kind of thing by now, right?

Images of the rear case of the iPhone 4G should be painted on China Ontrade soon. We must not forget, in the future, to calmly analyze which “leaks” were really hot, in order to determine a level of certain credibility for a company like this. Free advertising, in fact, they have already conquered in most of the specialized sites on the platform, all over the world.
