It's not a hideous design... it's just (pretty obviously) not something that J. Ive had been involved with. Anyone who thinks that "not Apple's house style" automatically makes something "hideous" doesn't have much of a sense of design themselves; they're just parroting that they like what they've been told to like.I'm more surprised that serious mac news sites published the photos in the first place when they were so hideous to begin with.
Put down the crack pipe.That pic is fake.
See how the lower corner of that phone look ?
Its liner perspective ain't right AT ALL.
It's obviously a photoshop mokup of one of the previous images to make it look like the guy's holding it.
FAKE,
This is no counterfeit phone.
This might actually be the iPhone HD...
Man, looking at those pictures from the last post, I don't know how ANYONE who owns Apple products made in the last 5 years could ever believe this was an Apple design. Blech.
All this fuss over nothing...
No doubt! Can't get mad because these sites do their job.This kind of thing is pretty much why this site exists![]()
I really doubt it's a Japanese fake, more likely a Chinese produced knockoff that was purchased in Japan. Japan isn't really known for producing counterfeit items any more, they still have problems with stores selling them though. I've seen a few news reports about stores selling fake Louis Vitton items and stuff.
Ok people lets please not pretend that if Apple actually did release that phone you wouldn't think it was the best looking phone in the history of mankind and be hanging off Ives nutsack saying how you love it and its so magical
99% of the time I respect opinions I disagree with.
You are the rare 1% that I feel comfortable telling "you are wrong" without any qualifications.

the iPhone-type connector instead of the generic USB is what made this rumor a little bit believable.
