FunnyI just assumed that these were stretched app icons from the start. Guess I should have said something earlier. It seemed fairly obvious to me, but I have a background in visual communication and design. I didn't think to pop it into PS, however. Nice find guys. Kind of funny how people still can't see iteven in the edited version.
It would be great if Apple brought out the new iPhone, but the UI was just stretched vertically so that everything, such as icons, are elongated. They could pretend like everything is normal and it's the best thing ever to give all of us (especially designers) heart attacks.
