iPhone 4G found in a bar; Apple isn't happy

Gizmodo reported today on a brand new iPhone found of all places in a bar in Redmond, WA. If this isn't a PR stunt by Apple (and we don't think it is, that's just not Apple's style) then someone is going to take the fire for this. Someone is going to have to walk into Steve Jobs' office and tell him how they got real drunk and lost the super secret prototype phone of the future and some schmuck found it and sold it as an exclusive story to Gizmodo. 

The phone seems legit. It even had a case around it that camouflaged it as a 3gs in case someone were to see it. Not only that, but Apple has asked for it back! 

Check out more photos after the break as well as a break down of the new hardware!

What's new
• Front-facing video chat camera
• Improved regular back-camera (the lens is quite noticeably larger than the iPhone 3GS)
• Camera flash
• Micro-SIM instead of standard SIM (like the iPad)
• Improved display. It's unclear if it's the 960x640 display thrown around before—it certainly looks like it, with the "Connect to iTunes" screen displaying much higher resolution than on a 3GS.
• What looks to be a secondary mic for noise cancellation, at the top, next to the headphone jack
• Split buttons for volume
• Power, mute, and volume buttons are all metallic

What's changed

• The back is entirely flat, made of either glass (more likely) or ceramic or shiny plastic in order for the cell signal to poke through. Tapping on the back makes a more hollow and higher pitched sound compared to tapping on the glass on the front/screen, but that could just be the orientation of components inside making for a different sound
• An aluminum border going completely around the outside
• Slightly smaller screen than the 3GS (but seemingly higher resolution)
• Everything is more squared off
• 3 grams heavier
• 16% Larger battery
• Internals components are shrunken, miniaturized and reduced to make room for the larger battery
