What is not to get? The phone is made in China (hence the leaks). The phone then gets shipped world wide. The only place that gets the FCC info is the US. Moreover, if these are test units not for sale they need no label in the US. Further, who knows at what stage the labels go on. I am guessing last.

Those look dreadful. While Apple does use a similar (though brighter) pallet for the iPod, it's difficult to imagine them using something like this for the iPhone. I just can't see them offering a regular iPhone, a cheap iPhone, and possibly a large iPhone all together. Is anyone not buying iPhone because of cost at this point? If so, will these be cheap enough to capture those users?
I seriously doubt they put it on separately. Why would they run through the process for the logo/name and then run the product through the system again? That is the definition of inefficient.
Also, even if there is no FCC stuff I would think there would have to be some of that other info.
I'm starting to thinks its legit to. Have u noticed how these 'citrus' style colours match up pretty well with the new ios7 colour scheme.....
Outside of the US, it seems so, since an unsubsidized iPhone 4 is still what, $300? These should be cheaper for Apple to build than manufacturing the iPhone 4 or 4S while offering similar capabilities.
Apple's cheapest product, the iPod Shuffle is also aluminium.
Somebody tell me why they'll use some ugly plastic for an iPhone???
The use of plastic is two-fold:
1. Help reduce the CoGS of the budget iPhone (let's call it the iPhone Color) to maintain a decent margin while targeting the mid-low end of the market.
2. Differentiation across the iPhone portfolio to avoid too much cannibalisation.
That bright plastic is going to appeal to a younger budget/style concious demographic and Apple will sell these by bucket load. By contrast, the aluminium iPhone will retain its premium look (and margins) and still sell bucket loads to an on average slightly older better-off consumer.
Win-win for Apple.
Apple wouldn't submit the device till last minute with request to hold publication till a certain date. They can't then print certification on an untested device.
No camera filtering on A5 devices? What about the 5th gen iPod touch? It has filters.

Don't forget about a special guest appreance by Holograph Steve Jobs!
Pretty much every high end phone and tablet has 2GB RAM or more. Except the iPhone and iPad. So I predict the 5S and iPad 5 get 2GB RAM.
I figure they were talking about ketchup/catsup (aka in some parts as tomato sauce).
It's a good question: pantry means it's not cold when you put it on your food, and our containers (Heinz of course...) say "for best results, refrigerate after opening", not like a warning, like a suggestion. I don't think it can go bad over a reasonable use cycle, same with mustard, and I don't think restaurants chill their ketchup either.
I agree, I think Apple would prefer better economy of scale for the A6, and it means OS feature parity (UI effects, etc) on their newest three devices, heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see the iPod Touch get an A6, the [eventual] iPad Mini retina go A6 variant (i.e., A6X) like the 4th gen iPad. I'm also not convinced the 5th gen iPad will get a brand new series SOC, I think maybe a die shrunk, tweaked A6 again that results in a small bump in performance and battery life.
Actually, iPhone 4 is $450 unsubsidized, and that's for the lame 8GB version that is currently sold as the low-end iPhone. Something comparable to the iPhone 5 going for anything near $300 is obscenely optimistic, but we'll see soon enough.

I was actually thinking Cook batting leadoff, with Schiller in the 2 hole, Ive batting 3rd and Federighi batting cleanup.....Ive can do it all and Federighi is the big hitter lately.
Pretty solid lineup if you ask me

I see what you did there
The internals you have are just wrong. They're going either going to keep the 4S around for selling, or drop it completely. The 4 will be dropped completely. So the line up will be either 3 iphones (5, 5S, el-cheapo), or the same plus the 4S. My thinking is they'll drop the 4S because it's still a 3.5 inch screen, and has less than a gig of ram. The cheap iPhone will have 1gig of ram, and an A6 chip. The reason for this is because almost the entire reason for the cheap iPhone is to have a phone spec'd to be able to run iOS7. the iPhone 4 can barely run iOS7. 0.5 gigs of ram doesn't sit well with iOS7's transitions and animations. Plus new background tasks. What the cheap iPhone lacks will be in camera (versus the 5S which will have a 12mp) and potentially might not be retina, but not certain about that yet. I doubt they would not put retina in it. A5 chip is trash though, and you're stupid if you think they're going to launch a phone that is supposed to be for iOS7, with only 0.5 gigs of ram, and can hardly run iOS7.
What about these below?
iPhone 5 - 4" screen, 16gb - ($499) - A6 - 512MB RAM - Black/white - 8MP back camera
iPhone 5s - 4.5" screen, 16gb -($599) - A6x - 1GB RAM - colors - 8MP dual LED flash back camera - same form factor
iPhone 6 - 5" screen, 32gb/64gb/128gb - ($699/$799/$899) - A7 - 2GB RAM - black/white - 13MP back camera - dual LED FLash - 135mm x 65mm x 8mm
With US iPhone 2-year contract pricing will be: $49, $149, $249/349/$449

Well, if you're saying, that's good enough for me.
Generally I don't comment on stuff like this, but I was so moved by the photos, I just had to say...gracious, how awful!
Agreed. Ugly colors IMHO.
