Apparently, someone else has leaked a few live shots of Apple’s upcoming 3G iPhone, showing off its curves and sleek case design. Click here for first picture in gallery.

You’ll notice that they show a device nearly identical to the one in the last set of images we saw, with a white back and three dots inside the earpiece. Of course, that’s not to state some aspiring Photoshoppers haven’t just been copying each other.
