While there was, up until recently, at least one next-generation iPhone outside of Apple’s possession and in the wild, could there be another one still lurking out there… a golden ticket for one would-be “source” to sell to the highest bidding practitioner of checkbook journalism?

Apple Insider points out that back in February, another supposed fourth-generation iPhone was posted to a Chinese user’s Twitter account, and that phone’s design has some notable similarities to the one Gizmodo got their hands on. In fact, the designs are practically identical, except for the lack of Apple branding and the omission of a couple of screws.

At the time, no one thought much of these images, but in the wake of Gizmodo’s incredible scoop, this other iPhone 4G looks a lot more bonafide. What do you guys think?
