A real iPhone 6 smuggled out of the factory.

It might look on the outside like that one because we've all seen the leaks, but that in no way is an iPhone that came from Apple's factory. That's some counterfeit.
TMZ was very misleading in its article. The title claims it to be an iPhone, but the video clearly states otherwise. It's just clickbait.
Did you guys even read the article. Here's a quote:
"The owner of the phone says the smuggler is his friend -- an ex-employee -- who worked in Foxconn's hardware department designing the outer casing for the new model."
The guy who stole the phone is an ex-employee who somehow smuggled the phone from a company he no longer works for and oh by the way he worked on the design of the outer casing. That's interesting since I thought Apple Design was out of California. I didn't realize that Foxconn was now designing Apple products. FAKE.

OP, those of use that have been around the block awhile, with so called "Real" products from Apple shown, prior to the actual release are sometimes surprised that what we saw early on was not the actual iPhone, and have been mislead. We get these from time to time, so just wait until the actual product is released. Not too long now. You may believe it is, but still may not.
How do you know this is real? May be fake too for all we know.

Lock this thread because? Is this the only thread of iphone leaks ever? What rule am I breaking now? That you don't like the thread? Am I here to please you now?
I agree - that was the first thing that made me think "fake". The bezels look unbelievably big.
Again, the design maybe "similar" but that is obviously not an iPhone. The depth of the screen makes that apparent. No iPhone has been that bad and with the 5 onward it's even better. You can tell that's glass overlaid (not sapphire which is even thinner).
TMZ, lol this had fail written all over it from the start.

Agreed - I have no doubt that the overall design is right. Someone obviously took all the leaks and put together a knock off.
The real thing will be close, but much nicer and more polished.
I think this is probably correct. I would not be surprised if the iPhone 6 looks a lot like this. I like how thin it is. BUT, It's what's on the inside that counts, IF the iPhone 6 doesn't knock my socks off, I'm afraid I'm going to have to go to the dark side (Android).
