its funny how people say fake
and we've been through this before
these parts turn out real and then everyone falls in love
so it's real - nobody is going to take their time making these dumb fake photos. nothing says photoshop
stop complaining accept it.

I still think that the iphone 5 revision is going to be more major than this. What else would take them so long to get this thing out if it's just a revamped iPhone 4?
if you pay attention to the phone that was used to take the picture you can tell that it has the same back that is used to take the pic. if you see the camera hole there is no flash next to it and it has the flash on the opposite side.
If you pay attention to the thread, you'll see that this was mentioned in posts 10, 27 and 33
This to me suggests it's fake, if you had the whole phone why would you only show photo's of the back cover?
Who cares about the back? Some previous "leaks" have already shown that the iPhone 5's camera flash is on the other side of the back. What we do care is whether there will be a larger edge to edge screen or any curved glass on the FRONT!
Who cares about the back? I want to know the pixel count for the super secret back display. Will the back display require glasses for 3d or will it use eye tracking like the front display?
That's what I'm wondering too.
Apple was able to go from the iPhone 3GS to the iPhone 4 in just one year... and the iPhone 4 was a completely redesigned phone.
Why would it take so long to move the flash to the other side of the case... especially if it's the same case?
Why do you think it took one year to design the 4? I do agree that the delay of the next iPhone doesn't make sense to me in the context of it having the same basic design.
I don't know how long it takes Apple to design anything. You're right... the iPhone 4 was probably in development well before the iPhone 3GS was even released.
All I'm saying is that Apple was able to have the iPhone 3GS on store shelves in June 2009... and the iPhone 4 in June 2010.
Each iPhone has had a summer launch consistently for 4 years... but there are rumors that this next iPhone will launch in September.
If that's true... what's the hold up? Is an extra 3 months really needed if the phone looks basically the same?
I dunno... I'm still thinking the iPhone 4S will come out this summer... but it will have its own small event after WWDC. If the changes are simply a faster processor and a relocated flash... there's no reason to take up stagetime at WWDC.
Apple already caught flack for the delay in the White iPhone... and people have come to expect a new iPhone each summer.
Unless Apple is really trying to move iPhones to the Fall...
Jeez guys its a white 3gs taking the picture.
People still use these you know
Hellooooo, anybody with any sense reading this thread??
I feel like you're right. With the leak of the actual phone last year, Apple has to be super secretive this year. I expect a "...one more thing" at WWDC.
If you pay attention to the thread, you'll see that this was mentioned in posts 10, 27 and 33

Controlled leaks, this is nothing new. Since Apple never releases vapor ware they do it this way.
It has to be fake - there is no "transparent mode" available for the case. Maybe I missed it.

Reasons it's not the 3GS:
- The 3GS is curved, this one is flat
- If it was a 3GS, we would see the sleep/power button on the top
- Not sure about the 3GS, but my 3G (it is dying ) has a metal ring around the lens, this one doesn't have that. We know other prototypes have lacked the metal ring before.

How could you possibly see the sleep/powerbutton from that image
And its got more of a chance being the 3gs than the "New" iPhone. Reasons why:
Why would you take a shiity photo of the back of the new phone when you have a fully working one in your hand?

I agree... plus, Apple tends to keep fully working pre-release equipment in-house (or in local bars)... not with part suppliers.

He didn't say it was a 3GS. He said a 3GS was used to take the picture.
