Apple has a process in the design of the packaging in which high quality prototypes are made - lots and lots of iterations - and they are handled and put through the paces of what consumers will do with them over and over and over. Cool job I think.

Nope. It's on apple.com under the "What's In The Box" section on the tech specs page.
Yes, I like that too.So they need to dig a hole in the box for the protruding camera...

I'm always afraid I'll be electrocuted when I use one of those UK plugs. Thankfully, most of the outlets I encountered had a switch right on the outlet.
Those giant plugs do seem like a relic of the past.
Wasn't that the "likely fake" box insert that was reported on a few weeks ago?

What, and your US plugs with their tiny wobbly breakable blade key prongs and no earth never mind outlet switches, are so much more reassuring?!
The only annoying "relic" aspect of the UK 3-pronger is how bulky it is when carrying it in a bag. Was hoping Apple would license or buy this very elegant solution...

I know. It looks odd to me too.

Actually I was thinking more of the elegant looking plugs they use in Switzerland.
But the UK has the opportunity to leapfrog the rest of us by adopting wireless transmission of power.
With its limited land mass, the transition to a power system of the future would be easier than most (especially if Scotland is out of the picture).
I laugh at myself for watching that. And now feel ashamed for having shared that lil' tidbit...
Unboxing of Apple products is the third greatest cause of endorphin rushes, after sex and chocolate.

Only when you pay for an off-contract model.

They've unboxed it beforehand and removed the plastic screen protector. Or maybe this time there isn't one. That's actually the new packaging. It's controversial.
That is UK's style plug. The rest of Europe has the two rods and North America has the venerable two blade style. I guess to answer the question - Yes, you're the only one that's shocked (pun).
No. If you look carefully when he shows it, the slide to unlock is not capitalized like the leak. Maybe the leak was just a test card?
I know it's just a box in the end, but that looks one of the worst Apple packaging they've ever done. This isn't simplicity, it's just lazy design and saving the tiniest of costs. With this box, Apple can now use the same box for all color options. It also doesn't say if it's the iPhone 6 or 6 Plus on front (yes I know it says on the back sticker), but it'll be confusing for some people nonetheless.
Personally, my favorite box was the iPhone 5:
the iPhone 5c packaging isn't too bad either:
