please stop...for the love of god make it stop...ok, we get it, everyone knows photoshop and can duplicate the screen to make it streatch across the iPod. I'm really find it sickening that everyone is grabbing for their 15 seconds of "could it be real?" fame.

I am sorry Mr. Donoforpyros. I did not realize anyone would get upset at my adding to the pool of ipod fakes. I will do my best next time to make it convince you its real so we don't have this happen again.

All this iPod AV/Video/whatever stuff is getting old. Maybe if people stop responding to all these pictures, then maybe the people will stop making so many fakes?

Talk about beating a horse to death...

This one is defietely fake. I did a mockup weeks ago (see my first posts on macrumors) and the screen content was stolen from my pic! Anyway, it was stolen by 4 mockups I've seen so far.

Stolen content??? hahahaha, so sue me!!! ...first, the images that I used are from the original iPod Video photos from the apple.com website, not yours.

I made this to demostrate how easy is make a "realistic" image, because I think that all are fakes!!!

You know, theres a real market for these photos, maybe we should make some kind of website where people pay us to show them all the ipods they want to see.

And and people could make requests for what they want in the next version, and magically it would be online within the hour! We could already have the leaked photos of the 24th gen ipod people!

that's actually not a bad idea, I don't know if people would pay but we could run google ads. We could call it iLeakedPics.com

That looks incredibly real, but I guess it would be easier to photoshop since there isn't much there besides metal and engravings. Still, it looks so real. Anyone agree/disagree?

I've not checked this thread for a while so I'm not up on the current discussion, but I don't think your image has the same complexity as the original three images, with the reflections, etc. So I suppose that makes this a discussion about irreducible complexity, that an image is so complex that it cannot be created by doing simple photoshop manipulations.

I don't know much about how apple does Model #'s and Serial #'s, but that one has the exact same area of numbers to my 5th Gen. i could be wrong but i think apple might change things up a little if it were a new product.

Yeah, I know that, but my image was done in 12 1/2 minutes, just imagine somebody with advanced PS abilities can do with more free time...

That pic would not be hard at all to make. I'm not very photo-editing proficient, but I estimate very little challenge in modifying a few letters on a pic of the back of a 40gig.

With all these pictures and vidos coming out and all of them being so similar , I think something like this has got to be coming, and if apple haddent planed on it, they have to have seen all the interest in this type of ipod.

unless there is some alien light absorbing force I've never seen a towel absord a camera flash that close to it. the metal backing shows the flash of the camera but someone forgot to include the effect into the background. the towel shows no light from the flash

its a so much a fake....

no, that's the real part. i think that semidisk of darkness on the bottom could just be the lens getting in the way of the flash (on a dSLR)
