2010年6月7日，在正式推出iPhone 4之前，兩部手機[[原型 (工程)|原型]]引起了媒體的注意，這突破了蘋果公司慣常保密的開發過程。許多關於技術規範的猜測都被證實是準確的。

==== Engadget洩露 ====
2010年1月27日，小工具網站《[[Engadget]]》收到未發布之iPad的洩露圖片<ref name="engadget leak 1">{{cite web|last=Patel|first=Nilay|title=Is this the Apple tablet?|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/is-this-the-apple-tablet/|publisher=[[Engadget]]|work=[[Engadget]]|accessdate=2016-03-20|date=2010-01-27|archive-date=2019-05-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190501162825/https://www.engadget.com/2010/01/27/is-this-the-apple-tablet/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。對於不知情的編輯和讀者而言，這些圖片包含著兩款未發行的iPhone<ref name="engadget leak 2">{{cite web|last=Patel|first=Nilay|title=iPhone-iTablet Size Comparison|url=http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/iphone-itablet-size-comparison-600.jpg|publisher=[[Engadget]]|work=[[Engadget]]|accessdate=2016-03-20|date=2010-01-27|archive-date=2019-04-25|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190425035408/http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2010/01/iphone-itablet-size-comparison-600.jpg|dead-url=no}}</ref>。直到隨後的[[網誌]]《[[Gizmodo]]》的發布才得知圖片的完整內容<ref name="engadget leak 3">{{cite web|last=Topolsky|first=Joshua|title=iPhone 4G: proof|url=https://www.engadget.com/2010/04/18/iphone-4g-proof/|publisher=[[Engadget]]|work=[[Engadget]]|accessdate=2016-03-20|date=2010-04-18|archive-date=2019-10-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191008064818/https://www.engadget.com/2010/04/18/iphone-4g-proof/|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

==== Gizmodo洩露 ====
2010年4月19日，小工具網站《[[Gizmodo]]》報導他們以5,000美元的價格購買到iPhone的原型，並進行了該裝置進行產品拆解。據報導，該原型裝置已被[[紅木城|加州紅木城]]的蘋果公司員工格雷·鮑威爾（Gray Powell）丟失了<ref name="gizmodo leak 1">{{cite web|last=Golijan|first=Rosa|title=The Tale of Apple's Next iPhone|url=https://gizmodo.com/5520471/the-tale-of-apples-next-iphone|publisher=[[Gawker Media]]|work=[[Gizmodo]]|accessdate=2010-06-18|date=2010-04-23|archive-date=2012-08-26|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6ADKTHQxJ?url=http://gizmodo.com/5520471/the-tale-of-apples-next-iphone|dead-url=no}}</ref>。在《Gizmodo》發布有關原型的詳細信息後不久，蘋果公司的法律相關部門正式要求將手機退還蘋果公司，而《Gizmodo》回應其合作意向<ref name="gizmodo leak 2">{{cite web|url=https://gizmodo.com/5520479/a-letter-apple-wants-its-secret-iphone-back|title=A Letter: Apple Wants Its Secret iPhone Back|first=Brian|last=Lam|date=2010-04-19|publisher=[[Gawker Media]]|work=[[Gizmodo]]|accessdate=2010-06-18|archive-date=2012-08-26|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6ADKTxdD6?url=http://gizmodo.com/5520479/a-letter-apple-wants-its-secret-iphone-back|dead-url=no}}</ref>。

同年4月23日，來自高科技盜竊逮捕和起訴計劃（HTTAP）的電腦快速執法盟軍的特遣部隊（REACT）突襲了《Gizmodo》負責檢視iPhone原型的編輯陳傑森（Jason Chen）的家，繳獲其所有的電腦和硬碟<ref name="cnet gizmodo reaction 1">{{cite web|url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20003446-37.html|title=Police seize Gizmodo's computers in iPhone probe|author1=Sandoval, Greg|author2=McCullagh, Declan|date=2010-04-26|publisher=[[Gawker Media]]|work=[[Gizmodo]]|accessdate=2010-06-18|archive-date=2012-08-26|archive-url=https://www.webcitation.org/6ADKUZo28?url=http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20003446-37.html|dead-url=no}}</ref>。[[電子前哨基金會]]批評這次突襲違反了新聞記者的來源保護法，禁止查封記者的電腦以及懷疑蘋果公司作為指導委員會成員並使用其影響力，負責指導和監督加州REACT特遣部隊以某種方式推動警方採取行動，以讓這類事件通常不會發生。在突襲之前，蘋果公司經已收到《Gizmodo》歸還的iPhone原型<ref name="eff gizmodo warrant 1">{{cite web| url = https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/gizmodo-search-warrant-illegal| title = OverREACTing: Dissecting the Gizmodo Warrant| first = Matt| last = Zimmerman| date = 2010-04-27| publisher = [[Electronic Frontier Foundation]]| accessdate = 2010-06-18| archive-date = 2017-12-15| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20171215193916/https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/04/gizmodo-search-warrant-illegal| dead-url = no}}</ref>。[[地方檢察官]]指調查已被暫停，並停止檢索《Gizmodo》編輯的隨身物品，因為他們需要確定盾牌法是否適用，並警告指出此時尚未發出任何指控<ref name="wired finder regret 1">{{cite news|url=https://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/04/iphone-finder|title=iPhone Finder Regrets His 'Mistake'|author1=Chen, Brian|author2=Kim Zetter|date=2010-04-29|publisher=[[Wired (magazine)|Wired]]|accessdate=2010-06-18|archive-date=2014-03-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140329165827/http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2010/04/iphone-finder/|dead-url=no}}</ref><ref name="NYT apple's response 1">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/business/media/03carr.html|title=A Lost iPhone Shows Apple's Churlish Side|first=David|last=Carr|date=2010-05-02|work=[[The New York Times]]|accessdate=2010-06-18|archive-date=2019-08-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190829081249/https://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/03/business/media/03carr.html|dead-url=no}}</ref>。
