Seen in a video by Krazy Ken (seriously, now’s the time to subscribe), several iPhone 4 prototypes.
The iPhones
The first one is a Death Star model, EVT. It features the distinctive prototype logo, the word Prototype on the back, unmarked buttons, and no ring around the camera. It also lacks the famous pentalobe screws that debuted with this model. The OS is a test version, and the display is different from the final versions. It also shows that the A4 chip does not have the Apple marking.

Test OS
The second one is an iPhone 4 XXGB, likely similar to the iPhone 4 prototype found in a bar. A case with markings could make it look like an iPhone 3GS from a distance. This prototype is a CDMA version of the iPhone, making it a rather unique model.
XXGB
The case
The third one is white. It features the old proximity sensor design, which had small holes at the time. Apparently, this sensor caused issues and was later replaced by a uniform sensor on the final white iPhone 4, which was released significantly later than the black version.
Both sensor types
The fourth one is black and does not display the storage capacity (like the final version). It is close to the final retail model but runs a development version of the OS with specific applications. I’ll let you watch the video for more details.
Lots of apps
Don’t do this.
The last one is a common type of prototype: it has cutouts in the casing to access the antennas.
