Hey guys,

My girlfriend just send me this picture of a friend of her who posted this on instagram. Do u think that he already has the new iphone, or is just a scam? In my opinion it's quiet impossible no?

Believe these have been uploaded before, a cheap but functional android mock up of the iPhone 6 if I remember correctly. Had an image of a stretched 5s running iOS 7 as the box image.

It's pretty evident its fake by the use of the thicker font for the 'iPhone' label on the back, starting with the 5s the font is a lighter thinner variant
 
Fairly certain that's fake. I mean I get the desire for pics before they're officially released, but I would personally rather wait for the official release and get hi-quality pics from the source itself rather than some filtered, instagrammed, low-res garbage from strangers. If someone legit had one, they'd be taking tons of pics... closeups, for-scale, etc. No one has one that's willing to risk uploading pics.

It's definitely fake, no true tone circular flash. The iPhone 6's true tone flash is half yellow on top and half orange on bottom.
 
That is not an actual iPhone 6, HOWEVER everyone is pretty certain that this is how the 6 will indeed look. It's basically the official mock up of the phone. So yes, this is supposedly how the 6 will appear, but no, this isn't an official Apple iPhone 6.
