Another Black Back iPhone Photo

I originally thought that the black and white backed iPhones would be made of a material similar to that of a Mighty Mouse, or Macbook. But this back is something different. It looks tougher and more durable to scratches. If this is actually the prototype of the new iPhone backside, I'll be very pleased.

I think that neither of the people in the reflections are bald. I think the skin seen above the camera is his finger. Also, if you look between the thumb and forefinger of the guy holding the camera (on the left of the camera), it looks like dark hair and the person at the very top may have a receeding hairline, but clearly has a dark edge around his or her head.

If the guy taking the picture has a tie on, then I don't think it is Jobs. Too conformist for his liking.
 
Befitting

If true, there is no greater evidence supporting the idea that Apple is aiming to mass produce this thing on a grandiose scale and reach every single nook 'n freakin' cranny in the known universe.

Also, if true, Apple has clearly made the unfortunate decision to abandon its loyal, faithful fanbase who demand and expect the finest in craftsmanship and materials (ahem ahem aluminum cough metal cough cough glass etc etc etc) and instead chose a material befitting of the masses: cheap-looking, crackable azz plastic!! Unfreakin'believable.

I can't speak for the rest of you Apple elitists out there but I, personally, won't let the precious, flawless, well-bred skin of my perfectly manicured hands and fingers and sensitive cute lil photogenic earlobes go anywhere near plastic...ugh...ewww...pfft...$&!@$!!!

No thank you, kind sirs, but I'll stick with my elegant-looking 8GB v.1 iPhone.

You don't have to be dead to have dental records. If you've gone to the dentist and had x-rays, you have dental records. That's just usually when they check when there's not much left to identify with.

They're all the same. It's just a case.

I agree with you,

the latest one doesnt even seem to be attached to the iPhone, as the silver camera is not visible...

i would be very disappointed if the G3 iPhone looked like this.
I love the idea of 100% glass!!

That hole though for the camera looks like a hole... funnily enough. My suspicions are that this is a casing.

Edit: Having zoomed in on the photo, we can deduct that the man who took the photo lives in somewhat of a modern house... with perhaps a bar in the reflection...? We can clearly see his type of digital camera... surely the company has a list of all owners of that camera...? And the man looks to have a bald head, perhaps wearing glasses (zoom really up close - look behind the back of the camera, top right of the 8GB sign.

With these details we must be able to track him down...? Somehow...?

Hmm... Bald head, glasses, nice house... Its Steve Jobs!! Ha ha
 
What a joke

Maybe this was one of those planted-to-be-misleading shots.

I mean, yeah, open it in CS3 and zoom way in. The jpg compression (easily spotted on all black) is way different on the "case" than on the apple logo and, as mentioned already, the pixelation (edges) of the apple logo are totally inconsistent as if it was added in to an other all black shell.

Thanks for the nice, big image...much easier to spot the "fake."
 
I get a kick out of how all these pictures never show the front of the device. :rolleyes:

This was proven to be a 3rd party case a month ago. It's not the new iPhone.
 
It's a case

You can tell this image is just the casing because the wood grain is visible in the camera hole. The text and Apple logo have NOT been added as the blue hue visible in the top right reflection of the case matches the colored distortion around the logo and text. The pixelation is also a match as are the reflections through the logo and bottom text (this includes the shadowing).

It's just that access to those dental records, many times the victim is dead or missing, with the exception being missing children of course. And yes, you're correct, it's kinda' the last resort for means of identification.
 
Something I found on the AT&T Site

This is the image for iPhone accessories on the AT&T site. Could be the new iPhone2.

iPhone2 Sorry about the link.
 
Another Black Back iPhone Photo

Some observations:

#1 There are two people in this photo, the one taking the photo and another person, perhaps on the other side of the table. You can see the second person’s reflection on the top of the phone near the camera hole. This person has no camera and the radius of the phone’s edges distorts their face.

#2 The person with the camera is not bald, the two skin colored lumps on the reflection are only the photo takers index fingers. If you look between their thumb and index finger next to the camera you will see their hair line on the right side of their face.
 
Recessed logo = FAKE

its just another picture of everyone's favorite rumor-inducing third party back case, and we've been through this before.

Click to expand...

And this is further supported by the fact that this Apple logo is slightly recessed into the surface. Apple has better quality production methods: they can make the logo perfectly flush with the surface (see current iPhone!).

I swear, I have never seen so many faked-photo rumors about an Apple product where the fakes look SO MUCH UGLIER than the current version of the product! C'mon, you fakers and Photoshoppers, if you're going to the trouble of faking a product, at least IMPRESS ME. I mean, give Apple a challenge at least, not a reason to double over in laughter.

Fatter, rounder iPhones?... HA!! Amateurs. :rolleyes:
 
Two Options:

This is either someone's case mockup or some such item, or it is a pic of a mockup that Apple slipped in to the media so that people would be surprised at what the *real* 3G will look like. Apple has done it in the past, why not do it with the 3G? I don't think it's the real thing though -This is what it comes down to:

Apple is *far too secure in how they handle their new products! Steve was the only one who saw the first complete iPhone, obviously the public would never see the 3G iPhone a week before release!?! Get Real.
