Apple Confirms 12-Inch MacBook Shown on '60 Minutes' as Fake 'iPhone 7' Video Surfaces

Isn't it possible it's the video, camera angle and aspect ratio making it look different? Again, no one at Apple is going to forget to remove a prototype from that conference room before CBS cameras start filming. Second, if it was some prototype that Apple intentionally wanted to slip in why would they come out and say it's the 12" MacBook? Why not say nothing and let the internet continue to speculate?

you are right about that. Apple's attention to details is well known

I would say it's far more than just possible,IMO. I can't believe people are really trying to judge bezel width from an out of focus picture. Bokeh tends to make dark objects or lines, that are surrounded by light objects, look smaller. And trying to judge screen size from this same picture that was clearly taken with a focal length far greater than 50mm? All the "recreations" I've seen on here didn't yet the angle, tilt, or focal length right, and they were all in focus o_O

Even if it was a new model what would that even tell us? It will have a keyboard, a screen and look like a laptop... Mind blown.

And if one uses it for anything more intensive than viewing webpages, expect it to get hot to the touch because that's how it's made to operate... :rolleyes: Unless the theory of "planned obsolescence" is working where premature failure due to excessive exposure to high temperatures (most Intel CPU forums have people advising to keep CPUs running as coolly as possible, not as hot as possible, even for general or light use...)
 
Yup that there is a leaked HTC device and apple still got the shine. These other manufacturers just can't catch a break.
 
I like how in the fake iPhone 7 leak they have a guy shout in English, "Hey!!", when most of the video has text that is in Chinese. The stupidity of these fools are just hilarious.
 
Maybe it is just me, but I think I might have spotted something. While I agree with many people here that the Keyboard is edge to edge and therefore wouldn't be 15" or bigger because the Keys would be too big, I have to say that if you look underneath the Bezel there is a silver strip that appears to be at the same angel as the Screen. If you look at the edge of the Screen and follow it down you can see that the edge of the silver strip is at the same angle as the Screen. I notice that the 12" Macbook does not have a Silver strip. Maybe it is just me but I can not figure this out so if anyone can then please explain.

What a poorly written headline! On my device the line break was after "Fake" ... which really gives a different meaning to the first part of it.
 
Google deep focus. This will show you how a seemingly normal-sized window that appears 12 feet away is actually 12 feet tall and much further away.

I'm guessing this was filmed in an Asian manufacturing facility. Why would someone yell out "Hey" in English?

Apple has confirmed to Tech Insider that the notebook pictured behind Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell during the 60 Minutes special Inside Apple is the 12-inch MacBook released in April, debunking some users on Reddit and social media who speculated the notebook could be an ultra-thin MacBook Pro.

The chances of Apple leaving an unreleased MacBook in plain sight for a national TV program were slim to begin with, especially in a room full of Apple's top executives. In a later segment, Apple even covered desks in its secretive design studio so that cameras could not capture what the company is working on next.

The rumor mill is also abuzz after a fake "iPhone 7" leaked video circulated on social media this week. The sketchy video, spotted by French website Nowhereelse.fr, falsely depicts an alleged Foxconn employee handling a purported next-generation iPhone prototype that seemingly lacks a home button.


The staged video from "ViralVideoLab" shows a metallic device with an Apple logo, but it is noticeably thicker than the iPhone 6s and includes regulatory markings that are questionable for such an early prototype. The prototype more closely resembles an HTC One M9 with thin bezels along the top and bottom of the screen.

Foxconn has been the source of iPhone leaks in the past, including the iPhone 6 rear shell and dimensions, but it is unlikely Apple has provided the supplier with an assembled "iPhone 7" prototype over nine months ahead of its expected release. No other physical components for the next-generation iPhone have leaked to date.
