Photos of what appears to be a Brazilian made 8GB iPhone 4 have surfaced on MacMagazine.com.br.

If this unit is really hot and has left the Jundiaí Foxconn certainly is one of the first to reach the hands of a consumer. What the reader has told us, however, is how he put his hands on it - probably through some contact in the factory or in a carrier. It is also curious to see the rear registration: chose "Brazilian Industry" only - no "Made in Brazil" or "Assembled in Brazil", as suspected.

In the photos below you can see that the back of the device has been marked with the logo for ANATEL the country's National Telecommunications Agency. Also, where most devices say 'Assembled in China', this phone says, 'Indústria Brasileira'. Finally, the model number of the device ends with a 'BR'.

Products made in Brazil never show "Made in" or "Manufactured in" as is the american standard, they have their own marking, "Industria Brasileira", a bit too ignorant and despotic to question why they didn't go for what ppl is used to in the US...guess not up to Mapple standards?....anyway, this "phone" is not supposed to be sold in the US so that's the other reason why it doesn't show FCC markings, this phone probably will supply the South/Central America market.

The ANATEL logo already appears in all iPhone models sold in Brasil even before it was manufactured here.

I don't see anything unusual about carrier- or country-specific model numbers. It was common Apple practice with Macs too eg LL/A vs LZ/A suffixes etc. I can see why producing a Brazil-specific phone would be justified: as I recall, they levy a horrific import duty on imported electronics.
