I believe Chronic is a hacker dude that might be an intern at Apple.

comex is the one that got hired by Apple, but you're right, Chronic is connected with jailbreak community (I knew that I had heard that name somewhere before, I just wasn't sure where).
 
Ok it could be real. The guy would have had to crop it though.

I cropped a photo and here it is :

As far as Phil Schiller. Lots of people could have him as a contact. I have Jonny Ive's and I don't even know him :)

It's not difficult to change the name of any contact to Phil Schiller. I can change my mom's contact name to Cher- doesn't mean Cher is sending me a text.
 
This image has been altered. Zoom in really close in Preview and you can see the edges of the layer, which includes the 'S' in 4S, the 'Wh' in White, and the 'aliforni' in California.

Hope that was meant to be a joke. There's no such evidence. Why would they change parts of words that are already there?
 
Fake ........... the S after the 4 in the blurred pic looks distorted while the other letters don't look distorted but only faded.

Hell. Why not. It's getting close anyway..

people sell "genuine" bumpers on eBay with the same lettering on the back of the package as it would be on the real bumpers.

<-- thinks its a fake.
 
So what are you trying to tell us Peace?

I'm trying to tell you that anybody can have a contact from someone at Apple without actually knowing the person. Like I said I've never met Jonny Ive yet he invited me to be a friend. So who knows ?? :)

"Chronic" may have had Phil's email or phone number.

[edit] Oh. The why not. It's breaking my NDA again but it doesn't really matter because IOS 5 is getting close

[/edit]
 
I don't understand, even if the iPhone update was only a processor bump, why wouldn't they call it iPhone 5? They couldn't call the iPhone 3GS the iPhone 3 because that would have been confusing, so why mess it up again?

I think that's just because it's a crappy photo.

To extend the image to include the 'S'. And no, its not a joke - this image was altered.

Could you point out where the supposed layer edges are? I zoomed all the way in and it looks fine. Look at the sticker under your box, that's how they look, the're not neatly printed like the rest.

This could be real, if he is to be trusted. He just tweeted that SJ blocked him on iMessage... Hmm

It wasn't a processor bump, it was an everything-but-the-display-and-the-housing bump
 
Could someone explain to me what the word 'chronic' is doing in the thread title. I seem to be the only one confused by its weird usage.

It makes no lexical sense whatsoever.

Uh....because it's his pseudonym?

Well had you read the whole useless thread you would know two things.

A. Either the iMessage is used a lot by the person or
B. The person messaging was using the name Chronic. :)

I was talking about why they wouldn't call it the iPhone 5 even if it only had a processor bump.

\/\/\/ It's alright, I won't eat you today. :)
