There were rumors about new screen technology. I guess we'll have to wait for another 168 hours before we know for sure
NO screen technology gets blacker. Not possible.
What's so "amazing" about it? Just slightly taller for some insane reason?
What's so amazing about the S3? That it's wider?
Real parts or not, the "booting" of the phone has very obviously been faked in this video.
I was thinking the same thing and maybe it's just me but the screen (black) is not centered, it's abit askew. Maybe it's just my eyes.

It has that wonderful 1970's plastic feel, like it fell out of a christmas cracker.
Noooooo!
This seems legit... we are doomed! ... this is what the Mayans predicted for 2012...
Now seriously, why couldn't apple just deliver a logical 4.2" 1280x720 display? (aprox 2mm wider screen for more comfortable reading - specially calendar - and better keyboard).
Even the ********* phone by any other brand will have a better display than this.
Jobs' thing about ergonomics and 3.5" was just an excuse for loosing the display surface battle... C'mon! I'm not asking for a huge 4.7" or 4.8"!!
What do you think?

Startup animation is legit.
The same boot animation plays on a new iPad 3 when your first turn it on.

I'm not saying that boot animation is the wrong animation, I'm saying it's clearly not being played on THAT screen in the video. It's so obvious that it's superimposed.
You're saying there's no other screen technology that is able to achieve better blacks than LCD? Hmm... I suppose that's correct. *kuch* plasma *kuch kuch* OLED *kuch*
No, I never said or even hinted that. I'm saying there is no screen technology where the screen starts at one shade of "black" (when it's powered off) and then goes several shades darker. Pay attention.
I never considered any of these, very consistent, leaks to be fake. But gee, it would be so much fun if Tim just shows another, even more awesome, model on the 12th and is like "Gotcha! I said, we doubled down on secrecy."
I know its already been said 100 times but.. I hate the two tone back.
Oh well, I won't be able to afford one of these anyway. Still using my good old 3GS.

Bare in mind this is likely going to be the new design for the next two years, if Apple stays true to their 2nd year spec-bump format.
Yeah! an iPhone with plasma display! I can imagine the "definitely much better technology for watching movies in a subpar-4 in. screen" excuse.
Shouldn't the apple logo be more in the center of screen during the boot up? Seems higher. Usually they are in the center of the screen.
Not if someone mapped on a video of the current 4s booting up and just added some grey to the bottom.
Hmm so the fact that at 40s in the video you can see the bottom left of the screen of the iphone 5 has a overlay issue and then for the rest of the video the entire edge of the screen is razor sharp as appose to jaggered before its turned on?
Silly silly silly silly little boy hush your lips.
Definitely possible. And if it's fake, I don't put any stock in its authenticity. It does look like the stuff on-screen moves with the slight camera shake, although that could be easily faked. It also doesn't explain the strange URL string at the bottom of the error string. If it was a capture from a legit phone, I feel like it would just show the standard string.
There's also no reason it COULDN'T be done. After all, the screen, logic board, and batteries are out there. If they had access to those components, it wouldn't be difficult to put those together. After all, it's not like we're seeing everything working in this video.
But yeah, it could totally be fake. I suppose it doesn't matter one way or the other.
