If its not from Apple, where is it from? Can you provide a precedent where we've had a factory fabricated iPhone part that turned out to be fake or from some false source?
It's defintetly an Apple part and it definitely has been seen and approved by J.Ives. The cost of making a fake part like thIs is too high.
The cost is maybe CNC work and aluminum - thats all (no big deal $ 50 maybe for prototype)
i have friend who work on CNC professionally and can make the same thing for 5 bucks just for fun if needed.
I know something about technology, as far my hobby are attached tight on alternative energy resources and research. Maybe you hear something about Nicola Tesla? i'm and my team almost 5~6 years trying to recreate US Government banned and secured technologies whos are hiden from public, maybe they are used somewhere in area 51. (we are close to new energy systems and this will boost up your mind more than some leaked iPhone part.

This is nothing compare to other things whats happening around us, there is more important things like kids in africa without normal life comfort, there are Rich guys and homeless - where is problem? In system and we need to fix this or try to do something (no matter, small or big you are, just do something to make this a better place for living)
But let's get back to story
Today technology are so progressed than making a prototype is easy and anybody can do it without a big cost.
look at inside at this part - it is bad CNC machinering, you can easely see drill traces:
as far i know Apple produce aluminum in extrusion and CNC laser cutting (especially hole drilling are going throught Laser CNC) this not looks any close.
This is cheap prototype and not represent final product at all!
But we never know this until release and as far for now, i don`t like the bottom of this prototype, phone or whatever you like to call it and this is my personal thoughts and no matter who designed it - everybody can take a mistake even proffesionals!
Remember: "The ark was built by amateurs, but professionals built the Titanic!"
...and why YOU paw on me i don't really understand!
i have free rights of speach? or you are the centre of planet who want's be important and that's way you sitting, eating some chemical burger from MacDonnalds and have fun - go do something, change the world.
If something - sorry, i try to be Just a human nd wanted to share my opinion, that's all, i didn't know that it is not allowed in your country!
