his Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims
PalmAddicts —
... [From Eric Mann] This Is a Next-Generation iPhone 4 Part, China Ontrade Claims according to the Gizmodo. "China Ontrade calls this the iPhone 4 Generation Midboard. Not very exciting, but the last time they announced a next-generation iPhone part, they were right. A month later, the iPhone 3GS appeared with exactly those parts. What could this mean?"

iPhone 4th-gen “midboard” on sale at Chinese retailer?

... iPhone 3GS.
Normally we’d be indecently sceptical about any leaked Apple parts – in fact we are now – but as Gizmodo points out, China Ontrade were spot on when it came to the iPhone 3G’s display assembly. They had access to that part a month ahead of Apple’s official launch; that raises the question of when this fourth-gen device might drop, considering a new iPhone handset isn’t expected on the market for another eight months.

... . What is a midboard? It’s literally the board that lays in the middle between the screen of the iPhone and the motherboard, preventing interference, and making sure everything stays screwed into place. The dimensions of the board given by China Ontrade indicate that the size of this new iPhone is going to be exactly the same as the models from the previous generation. What’s fishy about all of this, according to Gizmodo, is that China Ontrade leaked photos of parts from the iPhone 3GS in May, before the 3GS was announced in June. If that timing remains ...
4th Generation iPhone Midboard Leaked?
The iPhone Blog —
... iPhones get introduced in June/July, after all, according to the same Phil Schiller. That’s their product cycle, and that’s what Apple has done for the first three versions. Could they be planning an early surprise? Gizmodo thinks pressure from Android (technically Android hardware manufacturers like HTC and Motorola in this case, we suppose) might get them to ramp up faster. However, a great iPhone 3.2 (which we’ve still not seen beta nor screenshot of) could relieve pressure on the OS side. ...
iPhone 4 Hardware Rumor
EverythingiCafe —
... If China Ontrade is right again, this is a midboard for the iPhone 4G. A rather unexciting piece of hardware that doesn’t tell us very much, except that something new is in the works. This might account for all the travelling back and forth Apple’s engineers have been doing of late, though we’re still hoping for the Tablet.

OMG! A leaked backplate for some sort of upcoming Apple device!
CrunchGear —
... iPhone 3GS screens a few months before launch.
What does this prove? Not much. Maybe they’re trying to drum up excitement or maybe Apple, in all their wisdom, is releasing the 4G model for the holidays, a highly unlikely turn of events. iPhones come out in the summer time, just in time for back-to-school, and this might be a mislabeling.
But maybe – just maybe – China knows something we don’t. How would you like them apples?
