Which is what I've been arguing the entire time. If there is a front-facing camera, regardless of whether or not it's real - this is how it would work according to Apple's design in other circumstances.
Got a tip for us?

Is this making sense to everyone now? He got the perspective right but it's still a fake.
OMG you are holding BOTH a camera AND your phone WITH YOUR LEFT HAND. WTF!!!
FAKE!

yes it displays correctly when taking a photo with the iCamera, but if its on the front it flips the image. go into photobooth. try it. u move right, the picture(reversed) moves right.
The picture isn't reversed in Photo Booth. The image will ALWAYS move right because that's the way the camera look at it. But for the camera that isn't correct and it'll look like your left hand to someone else.
OK. So iSight flips the image instead of showing what the camera actually sees?
(I think my brain is about to explode.)
if its facing you, yes. this is so if u move right, the image will go right as well and not go left.
This is definitely more of an issue of people not understanding how a camera works when it's facing you than whether or not it's fake now. We all know it's fake.
Photobooth ALWAYS mirrors the image in live view and you have to change a setting for it to flip the saved image, although you can't unflip the image in live view. In photobooth, if I pick up my left hand, it appears as if my right hand is being lifted in live view because it's mirrored. One would think that apple would keep this as standard in all of their forward-facing cameras.
So yeah, you're wrong.
I agree, it is fake. However it think it's more of a issue of not understading how iSight displays an image versus how a normal camera displays an image.
Can't we just ignore the two left hand scenario that everyone is so tied up on and just focus on the other glaring issues at hand? First, it looks like an iPod Touch. Second, pics are of awful quality and NOT of the back of the device. UI pictures are everywhere for compass and video, but where is my back picture? If he had the freaking device he could post pics of the ENTIRE thing, INCLUDING Settings -> General -> About -> Model!
Agreed, everyone please ignore my useless banter about 2 left hands and magical gorilla dust and lets get some real NON-BLURRY proof.
That's what I'm saying! You're not understanding or I'm not explaining myself right. My picture says it all. I've been saying this from the start.
the only reason why the photos are flipped for the front cameras is to adjust to placement of objects/subjects. it is so much easier to have it fliped during live view, and then if u need to change it later.
I think this one nails it.
If its real, then the square in the bottom left should show the same image as whats on the main screen. But it doesnt.
Guys he's just holding a first gen iPod Touch, you can tell by the bezel and the size of the home button.
There is only 1 thing worse than people who tell you they own something that they really don't, and thats people who go online and try to post pictures acting like they own a device that isn't released yet trying to get the e-cred. You sir, fail.
Who cares if it's fake or not? Just let him have his fun, all will most likely be revealed in 3 days
