Does anyone else find it odd that we are getting pristine images of the front, back and sides leaked this far out?? I'm calling total BS on all of these. If the iPhone is coming in the fall, there is NO WAY in hell these are accurate. And if so, the Apple mystique and secrecy of product launches is out the window...Which I highly doubt. This is most likely the biggest, and most important lauch of an iDevice since 07. This thing is locked down tighter then a crabs a$$. No way we get leaked images of this quality 5 months out. NO WAY!!
Great (or even decent) remote controls have physical buttons. Touch screen only remote controls are lousy.
You mean like the Motorola Atrix or the Nexus S with their 4" screens that are taller, not wider than the iPhone's screen? The ones that have been doing 16:9 instead of 3:2 for how many years already?
Some people on here crack me up
THis is Fake! I don't think they would choose such an ugly grill for the speakers.
Plus Steve Jobs also hated painted black metals, Because of the reason that smudges show easily . I don't believe this is real at all.
First of all Steve doesn't run Apple anymore. Maybe this was a runner-up design that the new management liked more? We will never know.
Second how do smudges show worse on painted black metal with a texture then on smooth black glass? I'm curious about that.
Actually I could be wrong, it looks like the iPhone4 kept the Bluetooth antenna in the band, can't find the details on the 4S right now, but it still seems like the most plausible explanation to me.
Looks to me like the camera doesn't even match front image to back.
Where have you been for the last two years? We knew every little detail about every new Apple products for at least that long.
Hard to tell, but...
The back looks to be a mixture of metal at top, bottom and sides, with a plastic or ceramic or fiber middle for radio transparency.

Exactly. This has been in the works for 2+ years.
And it's coming in late June...early July. All these parts leaking mean it's coming back to a summer launch.
Look at the back of the black phone. You can barely see the logo or lettering. Does anyone really believe this would come out of Ive's design shop? I can see Jony and team laughing their asses off over the response to these prototypes.

The lighting is the problem.

Yes I can see that coming out..considering Steve helped design this years ago.
That color difference most likely is some sort of metal/texture that makes holding the phone easier instead of it possibly slipping, etc and not scratching if you lay it down.
Have to say, I'd go caseless if this is true. So tired of seeing people with iPhones with giant @$$ cases on them that look stupid.
Considering they probably came up with several different prototypes we will never know if the one that Steve wanted is the one that will be released.
I almost feel sorry for Tim Cook. It's like no one trusts him to make management decisions. All that is talked about is what Steve left in the pipeline for products. Well what happens when that pipeline is empty? Apple close up shop?
I disagree, considering we pretty much had the iPhone 4S in January 2011, except that no one noticed because they all thought it'd be some magic phone instead.
You need to learn to talk like an adult, and re-learn what the word 'gay' means. Grow up.
I like this design! Of course, I'm assuming that it will look better than it does in these 'leaked' pics in person.
