little dots above the iPhone's proximity sensor

Heh, again, just to put my 5 cents.

If you say those pictures were rendered then take a look at these iPhone 4 unboxing videos on youtube:

Also look at this video it actualy shows both versions of the white color, notice that even the box has that picture.

So question solved, The dotted version was the first iPhones in white color that came out last year in April.

The rest of them if you still see them are the aftermarket old china digitizers that were made last year.

I already start to feel bad that i posted this on the apple official forum, are you guys really that "strange"? I am not asking for any parts I just gave you as many details about my problem as I could to show you what I mean.

You are telling me that i should take a look at ifixit and then you are telling me that the iPhone is not user servicable?? How is that?

Due to the fact that I added two lines of text and a link you are not going to help me anymore? You know what? I don't even need your reply,

How come the dots above the proximity sensor have anything with repairing an iphone? it is ***king sold like that!!!

the same thing goes with the iphone's lines on the metal bezel... it is sold like that, man!!!! come on seriosly.

I need and answer to know the differences bwteen the design of these freaking details not anything else in the first place.

thank you, for replying me brad and deggie, The little dots above the proximity(sieve looking) are only on the white model, i believe they are there to make that proximity hole not so prominent.

This doesn't have anything with repairing the iphone, i'm not trying to find an aswer of what to buy how to repair or any tutorials, i'm sorry if i didn't make clear my question.

The only thing that I would like to know is if i see an iPhone in my hands I can tell straight if that's a 4 or 4s based on the lines and proximity design.

Again, my question was not solved, yet.

brad, i think you misunderstood me, again I'm posting another picture from google images for "white iphone 4".

The sensor "hole" is not the same as the sensor "dots", in all your replies i see that you think i'm speaking about the sensor hole as (dots).

Again, please take a look at the pictures below:

Disregard the green and blue circles, i didn't upload this picture, but take a look at the proximity sensor, do you see how it is covered by little tiny dots ?????????

Do you see how the sensor is covered by little dots?

Now on this one the proximity sensor hole is clean without any dots.

You are telling that they all look identical, but they don't....

Thanks anyway....

I don't think so, take a look at this picture...or many other's from the web....this one was on the apple's website when the iphone 4 came out.

It has those tiny little dots....

Also, think about it, why would the aftermarket technicians add those little dots and make it visible that is not an original? also, i believe those dots are harder, more expensive to create (engineering) then having just the hole.

I'm not going to dig more as I really don't care that much. I really pay attention to detail to everything I am doing and everything I see.

As I told, my thoughts is that the earlier iPhone 4 models have those dots, the newer ones and the iphone 4s don't have them.

The black color has that "hole" you just can't see it so easy because the sensor is black. Any of the iphone black color aftermarket/ or new 4/ or 4s don't have those dots because by design there isn't any need to "fade" out that hole on the black model...
