First iPhone 5 Unboxing Photos Reveal Packaging Layout and EarPods Travel Case

[Zunjine]

You'd think they'd have taken off the plastic film before taking these shots.

My word. If I was taking pictures of the very first iPhone 5 received, I'd at least make sure there were no fingerprints....

Makes me wonder if it is one that slipped through, as I don't see any of the legal logos on the back. Maybe some countries don't require it?

I'm really not liking the longer size.

The more I look at it the more my 4 seems short and stubby. I think its funny that people are groaning about the length....its the same ratio (screen wise) as every other smartphone out there today (16:9). And I for one am glad they didn't add more bezel.

 

[bhattsan]

i was thinking that too. also both the logo and "iPhone" wording have a weird bubble effect around them

The plastic is still on the back of the new iPhone. EDIT: Already answered

 

[tbobmccoy]

definitely the camera, although I don't really see what you're talking about anyway.

It could also be my crappy old MacBook 2006 at work

Gonna be a long queue

The unboxing Yoda is disappointed.

 

[HarryKeogh]

I like that travel case. I only hope I can put them back there that neat.

You'll try, fail, and never try again.

Sort of like that map in your dad's Buick.

Where it says apple on the back is silver on apples website not black, the plastic wouldnt make the lettering black.

 

[iapplelove]

Nice this is what I want to see.

Tim Cook: Someone got their iPhone 5 early? <over the phone> Send in the ninjas.

 

[tbobmccoy]

Wait a second, is that a black apple, or is that also just an illusion of the light? A black apple would be pretty sweet, I must admit...

Why does "iPhone" have a stroke bubble border on it????!

It looks like the plastic is on to me.

Where it says apple on the back is silver on apples website not black, the plastic wouldnt make the lettering black.

Could be reflection. A dark reflection off the almost mirrored Apple logo could make it appear black.

Cross-posted. Why aren't there any FCC Markings?

 

[lamerica80]

Fake unboxing.

FAKE.

They wouldnt give you no "travel case" for the pods. Makes no sense.

I wondered that.

I don't want to be a downer, but am I the only one who thinks the phone looks.. well not as nice as expected, I have to admit, I think the 4S actually looks slicker.

And also (first time iPhone owner to be here) doesn't it come with a plug? That thingy in the middle of the box, is that the plug? The pinks look so thin..

they came all over their hands so they didn't want to mess it up!

 

[ineedamac]

Awesome! Can't wait to do my own!!

Hopefully I'll have it soon.

 

[Wuiffi]

I call fake! (again)

EDIT: also note the "shiny effect" of the Apple logo on the fake

I ordered mine in less than 20 minutes after preorders started (as soon as i could finish the order successfully) and mine hasn't even shipped yet.

It probably did ship. Go to ups.com and TRACK BY REFERENCE (as opposed to track by number), and input your 10-digit phone number as the reference number, with your country and zip code.
If that doesn't work, then try the same thing as fedex.com

By now, I bet it will be on there.

 

[machestnut]

It will probably land in kentucky soon, and because it says Friday by end of day, there's virtually no shot at early delivery. Others have dates of Thursday by end of day, but may or may not be held back. I checked mine and it says friday by end of day as well.

I checked mine, but had to goto the UPS website. It says it will deliver by noon on Friday

What's the point in increasing the price for European customers? Went up by £20 for the 16GB here.

I'm starting to think we're subsidising you US customers for the new included EarPods.

 

[xionxiox]

It looks like they colored the accessories with a tannish color hue. Is that accurate, or an illusion of the camera?

no.

 

[shartypants]

The guy probably works for FedEx.
