If there’s one thing that sets every Apple product apart from the rest, it’s the bitten apple logo, usually found on the back of the device. The Apple logo is so iconic that we can even write it. And therefore, It’s really weird to see an iPhone without the Apple logo. Something that only happens in prototypes.

The images were shared by the @AppleDemoYT account, which also shared interesting information about this so-called iPhone prototype. Name the device as follows: iPhone “Vesica Fish” and it is unique because it does not have an Apple logo; instead, it has a symbol that looks like two circles coming together, with a transparent inner area. It’s a symbol we’ve seen on other occasions on prototypes of Apple devices.

Apparently, this iPhone was produced in May 2021, before the launch of the iPhone 13. However, the device Combines elements of the iPhone 13 Pro and 14 Pro. But it also has other completely unique elements that have never been seen before.

volume and power buttons not clicking Indicates what can happen when pressed A test unit for haptic technology. It has long been rumored that Apple would replace the physical buttons on the iPhone with tactile buttons, and this seems to be proof of that. Also, the volume buttons are continuous, not separate as they are now.

SIM tray has also been replaced as it is shorter than normal and fixed with screws. The engraving on the side of the volume button indicates that the device is in the “Ranger” prototype stage and is being used for different tests. The design of an iPhone goes through various stages and one of them is such prototypes.

This strange iPhone was purchased on the Chinese market Xianyu, and its seller explained that it came from a recycling facility, its true nature unknown. AppleDemoYT predicts: It is a test device with experimental features.and it is not a prototype of a specific iPhone model because it mixes components. The idea that it was designed to test tactile button technology makes a lot of sense.

HE iPhone doesn’t seem to be working normally. When turned on, a screen appears with a message informing you that microcontroller initialization is complete. And when you plug it into a Mac, the name “Bender” appears, which looks like a reference to Futurama.
