Agreed. The matte is an improvement over the awful glossy back of the current iPhone. If it has a slightly rubberized texture, even better for gripping.
 
if it has a front facing camera you would think somewhere in the previously released screen shots of the camera/camcorder app there would be a spot to pic which camera you want to use (incase you are taking a self portrait which is quite hard on the current models)
 
Doesn't matter if these pics are fake or not. We all know most people in here will be either buying/upgrading the new iphone no matter what it is.
 
It could be the real deal, if not, it's the most believable mockup. The thing that gets me, it's in airplane mode so you can't see if it has 3.0 or not.


Don't even start that it has the mic icon, you can easily replace an icon on a jailbroken phone with any image you want.
 
It looks real to me but I'm just sad that it might look the same. Plus I don't like matte as it attracts fingerprints. But whatever, I'll get whatever iPhone Apple decides to present to us on Monday.:D
 
I hope not, that looks worse than the iPhone 3G. After that really good fake version, everything looks too much like the others. I also hope Apple at least puts a flash with the new camera.
 
Who even first came up with the possibility that the iPhone would have a front-facing camera? It's all been a mockup theme since it first came out!

Reminds me of this, when people were submitting supposed screenshots of Leopard:
Now it is time to open this picture in Photoshop and change it to your delight. Forgot to add a button? Want to add a menu icon? (the Boot Camp icon is popular up there) A transition? It's easy with Photoshop! Also, be sure to throw in the strangest things that no one has even thought of yet. This is sure to make your screenshot more authentic.

I think the current look is great and doesn't need much of a aesthetic update; just enough to differentiate between generations. Matte back and black bezel is fine in my book. Of course, the repositioned earpiece helps too.

I say real.

im with u on this. why do people always want something to look diff. the design is great. no need to change it now. maybe the next one will have to look diff. look at palm when they were doing good, same device form factor because it was a nice form. if it aint broke dont fix it.
 
Maybe a fake pic, but I do hope the black bezel and matte back are real (I'm thinking a material like what my Razer Mamba has, it feels very nice). Those would be the perfect updates to the appearance short of a more serious redesign. Could not care less about video chat — would be cool, sure, but there's no one I could use it with.
 
I hope it's shenanigans - I was hoping for more of an update to the iPhone chassis. Flatter, less rounded maybe even the choice of colors - like the iPod Nano.
