iPhone X With New Dynamic Wallpaper Appears in the Wild

[MacRumors]

There are still 26 days to go before Apple officially launches iPhone X, but at least one person has already gotten their hands on one of the sought-after 5.8-inch devices, if a video shared on Reddit is anything to go by.

The short clip, embedded below, shows someone swiveling in their hand what looks like a silver glass-backed iPhone X with a new, previously unseen dynamic wallpaper on the lock screen.

As the handset is rotated, the padlock above the time visibly shudders as Face ID refuses to unlock, suggesting the person holding the phone is not the owner.

Speculation is rife among Redditors as to who the owner could be and how they ever got hold of an iPhone X so far ahead of the official launch next month.

According to the original poster, the video was uploaded from the San Jose area, California, making it likely that the clip was recorded by someone who knows an Apple employee with early access to the device. The iPhone X in the clip is also displaying an AT&T logo in the upper left corner, adding further weight to the suggestion this was recorded in the U.S.

Another iPhone X in the wild from apple

For the rest of us, pre-orders for iPhone X begin on Friday, October 27, with the device's official launch date the following Friday, November 3.

Looks legit to me.

Cool. I'm guessing there are quite a few Apple engineers who have one right now for testing purposes.

Only 3 weeks left until we have one in hand.

It looks fake, look closely on back cameras

 

[Dormammu]

Cool to see how quick the FaceID seems to work!

It looks fake, look closely on back cameras

What about the back cameras makes it look fake?

 

[Avieshek]

Nowhere near how maturely Pixel XL 2 does, just random bubbles flying like a jellyfish since from iOS 7. Childish or Absurd?

What about the cameras? They look legit to me.

 

[macjunk(ie)]

So just looking at the phone qualifies as an attempt to unlock?

The interface is too fluid to be a fake.

Yes it is.

So it’s just like my iPhone 5S with iOS 7 dynamic wallpaper but different color. Must be a boring week to begin with.

Truly wonderful and breathtaking, great job Apple

Have not updated to iOS 11, though dynamic wallpapers will be available on earlier model right ? It's 2017

Still dont understand how this is considered a silver back. Looks like the old iPod / MacBook kind of white to me

Nope they took em all out besides the colored ones on older devices

It could slap some people here in the face and heys still say it’s fake. I don’t get it. Why does jealousy cause people to discredit authenticity? Happens every year when we see these posts. Baffles me. Sad.

 

[IKAR0S]

Looks exactly like one of the hidden dynamic wallpapers that have always existed on the iPhone, but for some reason, Apple never enabled.

There was a Cydia extension to enable those. Was called Hidden Wallpapers or something like that. One of them is just like this.

Does this mean they enabled those, or that the iPhone is jailbroken? :-\

 

[DNichter]

Looks awesome. Size seems to be just right and the silver is growing on me. Can’t wait for 11/3.

 

[Scottsoapbox]

Animated emoj, dynamic wallpaper... can't imagine how iDevices haven't replaced the "truck" computing devices yet.

 

[CarlosAve]

It’s real. I’m a Beta tester. I’m testing 11.1 on iPhone 7 64 bit and I it’s there. It’s lame though IMO.

It looks fake, look closely on back cameras

 

[skinuca]

Looks beautiful, and i'm looking forward to ordering mine.

One question i have is about the carrier logo. I thought that was removed from the status bar on the X. Was that just a rumor? I forget.

 

[borgqueenx]

I wish apple would allow more of these wallpapers.

 

[Labeno]

Someone is about to get fired for letting it in the wild

 

[DNichter]

And here is the Space Grey. Torn a bit, but this is the one I’m going for.

Looks great!

From what I heard, we should say thanks to Anurag who is taking the video of the X. (Hopefully he doesn’t get the owner fired though)

Why? Its not a secret anymore.

Sounds like an Indian.
