Technology blog M.I.C. Gadget stumbled upon a prototype iPhone 4 with a whopping 64GB storage capacity. According to the website’s source, the device is a direct leak from Foxconn, Apple’s Shenzhen-based product manufacturer, and the supplier, whoever it may be, has a “small quantity” of the phones.

Similarities to the iPhone 4 purchased and leaked by Gizmodo last year seems to support that claim. Both devices are labeled with the same vague information: the model number is listed as “XXXXX”, the FCC ID is “BCG-AXXXXX”, and the size is listed as “XXGB”.  Also, both prototypes are missing “+” and “-” marks on the volume buttons and both feature a back-facing camera sans a silver ring that’s present on other models.

But likenesses aside, the odds of finding a 64GB iPhone 4 at your local Apple store are slim. Macrumors.com traced the the prototype’s serial number and found that it was produced in early 2010. It’s likely that Apple had a few 64GB iPhone 4 engineering samples whipped up as a trial run, but never intended them for release.
