Ever since Apple revolutionized the smartphone industry with its first iPhone back in 2007, tech enthusiasts, leakers, and other media sources keep a close eye on the company’s unreleased products. So, to keep its products hidden from leakers, Apple sometimes relies on neat tricks to divert them from the actual product. Now, in a recent YouTube video, a rare “Death Star” iPhone 4 prototype has surfaced that the Cupertino giant developed to prevent details about the actual iPhone 4 from leaking online.
The volume rockers on the prototype are also different than the production model. They sit flush with the edges, lacking any volume indicators. Moreover, as there were not many cases available for iPhone devices, the engineers also developed a dedicated case for the prototype device, which also has the Death Star logo.
