Could someone take a picture of their iphone - lying in roughly the same position, similar angle - on their Macbook Pro.

Just so we can see the size of it. Personally, I think it's just a modded iPhone.
If it is a new product, the 8GB capacity would suggest it is a budget model.

It was already done a couple of pages back.

anyone noticed that the camera lense isn't entirely flat and seems to look off into an odd direction?

Fake. It says 8GB on the back and, I can almost bet, any 3G release will coincide with a 16GB/32GB 3G model, not an 8GB 3G model.
 
What is this? Look fake to me

Look, Apple would not let uneven borders like this on the Iphone, see the image, waht is your opinion about this?

It looks like they moved the text down to cover up their bad photoshopping skills. They might as well have just applied a gaussian blur or something...
 
I don't think it's real, but the best evidence it might be is this: everyone said Apple would NEVER make something as AWFUL as the current iPod Nano :rolleyes:

(Plastic casing would be a step back, but the price might take a step back too.)

This thread is too funny, regardless :)
 
It's fake end of story.

Besides it's ugly as ass.

Can't wait for the actual new one. It will look silky smooth like all apple products.
 
For the people saying that this couldn't be a seed from Apple, don't you remember that apple created prototypes of the current generation iPhone that it used to show Cingular? Even Cingular didn't TRULY know the real iPhone until a few weeks before the launch.

The lens isn't necessarily flush with the housing - the camera itself isn't necessarily aligned with the exposed port.
 
Does it have to be an iphone?

What about the possibility that this isn't an apple product at all? What if this is someone who took another phone of similar shape/size to the iphone and created a custom "iphone-esque" cover for it.

Alternatively, could this be a simple iphone knockoff?

The side is the rocker button for volume. The current iPhone has it too.

The bottom, I don't know. Looks like a connector on either side of the dock port.

I'm not going to blow this thing off so readily. I learned my lesson from the iPod Nano. And hell, if the casing is using that radio-transparent ceramic material which the Apple patents pointed to, it would be unbelievably sexy.
 
the roundness of the sides seems different too. hence the camera pointing outward.

I think since it's an 8GB there is a possibility that this is the rumored low end phone they were planning. It would make sense that it would be all plastic similar to the macbooks, etc.

Just my 2 cents.
