Techdy has gotten a hold of the unannounced iPhone’s exterior shell and display assembly from sources in the supply chain overseas. A gallery of photos and even an accompanying video takes a look at the device from multiple angles.
The budget iPhone will be made substantially from plastic (we can feel it’s actually polycarbonate material). It will have a 4†screen, like the iPhone 5, and interestingly, the budget iPhone actually has a shape that’s similar to Apple’s original iPod. When we hold the budget iPhone in our hands, the plastic chassis does not feel cheap at all. Unlike the plastic build quality of the Samsung Galaxy phones, the plastic material used on the budget iPhone feels more sturdy.
Just for kicks and giggles, Techdy has made an Android device based off of the plastic iPhone dimensions and materials. It’s called the “Basic Bear†and it features a 4-inch display, 1.7GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 CPU, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, 8 megapixel rear camera with LED flash, 2 megapixel camera with 1080p video recording, and a 2300 mAh battery. The Basic Bear runs Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, comes in five colors, and costs $199.
