Obviously Apple is trying to silence this video and working hard at it since they are only up for a very short time before taken down or forced down.
I don't think thats an iPhone 5. maybe thats just an old video? and the suspected iphone 5 is just the prototype of the iphone 4
yes...
Apple have people watching all the forums as they said last year...
And when a Tube link is posted, Apple request the You-Tubesters to remove it...

Yet the other videos remain, one for the iPhone 4 and another for 3gs, and have been up for a long while. Why are they so insistent on taking this one down, unless there's some validity?
Exactly. One of the main things that is different in this leaked version is the antenna. I think that's a little more than coincidence.
So do I...but I also wonder how many of these "leaks" are done by Apple? Leak a video, then have it removed "by Apple Inc." The fact that they had it removed adds more to it than if it just sat up there, then everyone would start to think it was fake.
I bet most you guys follow Gizmodo! But isn't funny that Gizmodo hasn't eaten this up yet? Maybe because of the past Apple and Gizmodo went though? Very suspicious...
Do you guys agree?

Oh yeah, cuz Apple is SO concerned about video's of iPhone 4 spare parts making it to the net. FAIL
This is what's got me perplexed. Definately adds something to the story.
Call me crazy, but i think this is an early iPhone 4 prototype, not an iPhone 5 casing. Notice how they mention in the video (If it's the same video i saw on another site) that there is no camera hole? Seems to me like that makes it more likely to be an early iPhone 4 prototype before they added a camera to it. Of course, they could be right. We'll see in June.
This also makes more sense of the "leaked" Verizon iPhone cases from a few days ago. These pictures show the mute button slightly shifted....hmmm.

A) Why pull down the video of a prototype?
B) Most likely prototype parts have been recalled/destroyed long ago
C) Camera hole only means camera is thinner, doesn't mean it's gone (this is the middle metal bracket, not an external part that requires a "view")

Could be, we'll have to see what comes up in June.
Plus, don't forget the video of the iPhone 4 teardown is still up, and has been for quite some time.
videos being pulled down is a definite confirmation that this is the real deal. Whether or not it's CDMA, I think we'll be seeing its unveiling very shortly because Apple usually doesn't start mass production until right before release (and many past leaks seemed to happen very close to release date).
I've been thinking long and hard on this. Since the sound is a voice over, It could very well be an old part that they are showing for whatever reason, with someone putting the voice to it. As in it could be a video from a while back right?
Another reason the videos could be getting pulled is so that Verizon can protect their products. The more talk about the iP"V' the less phones they sell until it releases. Just some random thoughts. I'm hoping it is in fact the iPhone 4s for both carriers. I'm dying to get my hands on one!

No. CDMA and GSM would never be used simultaneously, so a hybrid phone would tie both bands to the same antenna hardware. No need to waste space for two antenna structures. Even more importantly, how would Apple explain the decreased signal due to the fact that they chopped each of these antennas in half? They wouldn't.
Ha!
And even if the voice were in a live recording it could have been from a while back.
Incredibly unlikely. Occom's razer: the simplest answer is probably right.
Equally unlikely. They may sell less phones now, but when the phone finally comes they'll be selling phones with DATA PLANS like hot cakes.
Didn't even think of that! Makes sense, though. The more I look at this video, the more I'm convinced that I'll have my Verizon iPhone in hand in no time...
Two iPhone 4s at the beginning?
Someone mentioned this and I think it's important because it probably proves they dont have any "further information" as they say at the end.
At the beginning they act like theres an iPhone 4 and an iPhone 5 and then they're going to disassemble the iPhone 5 and show us the parts. It's just two iPhone 4s. There is no seem above the mute switch and the mute switch is still very high compared to the new case shown.
I think they only got these parts and there's nothing more to be seen from these guys.
