'Leaked' iPhone 5 Shown Booting Up to Developer Program Error Screen

Again how is no one saying anything about the boot animations.. That is new. My ios6 beta doesn't do that.
IF this is real, that button might not be fake. Apple could be changing it up to avoid the oil and dust issues that can make the button not work over time.
Could also be that there's nothing under the button pulling it into the right placement and the video is fake. If I had the time and inclination it would be child's play to film a current iPhone with iOS6 put on it (but not registered so it won't activate) then morph it a tad and map it into my plastic fake
Covering up the logos is also suspect. Feels like they are covering up a lack of logos instead
Seems like Samsung is selling a bunch of those new Galaxy S3 and Apple decided to leak some parts so people hold on a little more to buy the new iPhone.
Or maybe it's the Authentec fingerprint scanner
Just joking. Looks fake to me, too.
I almost never say this...that video is fake. What first tipped me off is the presence of a "pin" in the center of the dock. Same thing I noticed on the dummy's from IFA.

Nice opinion caveat
They'll tear you up like wolves if you express opinions too forcefully round here.
Oh god, I think I can hear them coming...
That appears to be the same knockoff that has been proven to be fake in another video. The other one was black though.
Here's the video:

Notice how both have the metal ring (external antenna) color matched with the color of the phone (unlike what we have seen in leaks, where the color was either gray or graphite), while the +, - and sleep buttons are silver whereas they should be the color of the ring.
Both are seen in a low-quality YouTube video in which the phone doesn't move during the animation, so it would have been easy to just edit the movie and add a video on the screen.
The other (fake) leak was later said to be a dummy gotten from that chinese website: http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.1&id=19623600390

I can't confirm if was actually gotten from this site, but in the other video it's a lot more obvious that the booting animation is fake and just a video pasted on top.
This one appears to be the same one as in the other video, except in white.

No doubt some nice camera improvements, internal changes etc. Remember at the end of the day it's just a phone.
I'm pretty sure it's in the iOS 6 beta. At least, the .png files for it are definitely there. The animation is only played when you boot up a freshly reset device for the first time, not on "normal" boots.
This has to be the iPhone 4GS... anything worthy of the "iPhone 5" name can't possibly be this mundane.
Still too long
I still do not like the LONG mess.
Man, as many rumors as I have seen with this design, I guess I am starting to think it is true.
But....ugh.
It is pretty, but just too long!

Ohhhh, new boot screen animation!
That's not a new boot screen animation, it has been available since iOS5 when you start up a clean install iOS device.
It sure looks the real thing to me! Home button does not actually look that suspicious (may also be covered with some plastic).
And if you ask me, it was just about time one of these next iPhones to be unveiled by Chinese, the people who actually build them (even as a small tribute to their long work days).
I was always watching an Apple event, just to see Jobs performing. The actual products, we know they're superb anyway

looks very good. Especially deeper/richer black is awesome! Can't wait to see it in person! Only thing that concerns me is battery life. I would like iphone 4 battery life (full day with moderate usage).
p.s.: And I'm gonna defiantly get black one. Much more nicer

"Several apparent features of the device do, however, call its authenticity into question, and so we are primarily posting this for interest and discussion at this point. "
Calm down people, it's obviously not real
