So many things wrong with this fake it's not even funny. How anyone thought it was legit is beyond me.

May not be 100% accurate but I bet it's not far off.

LOL @ the grammatical mistakes:

"GRÖSSERER DISPLAY" is not right. :rolleyes:
There is no direct translation of the mistake to english, since english lacks that part of grammar, but the closest you could get to would be:
"Biggerer Display" :rolleyes:

Actually, größerer is a correct Deutsch word. Thanks for playing.
Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass es ein falsches Wort ist, sondern das es grammatisch falsch ist (in diesem Zusammenhang). Richtig wäre "größerES Display"
Deutsch ist meine Erstsprache also streite nicht mit mir.

I didn't say it's not a correct word, i said its grammatically wrong (when used in that context). Correct would be "größerES Display".
I am a native german speaker, so don't try to argue with me.

+1 for Appleseed, "größerer Display" is totally wrong. Its "größeres"
 
What bothers me most about this is that the font is CLEARLY different. They put so much time and effort into this and couldnt even match the font. It looks like a different version of myriad than the one that Apple uses...and its really visible on the back of the unit. To go THIS far and not have that detail perfect is just a massive fail. I didnt see the URL or the comments yesterday and knew it was fake because of that alone.
 
Clearly a fake. Kind of hard to believe someone would bother putting this much effort into it. Apple pays attention to detail. Too many little things wrong with this. Time on iPhone is wrong, No Service (FAIL). Font on back of iPhone is utter FAIL.

Apple just needs to announce their new phone already so we can get on with it!!

LOL. Can't get over the embarrassment of someone with probably a single year of high school German saying "Thanks for playing" to a native speaker :)

not only that, he doesn't seem to know English very well, either...

"since english lacks that part of grammatics,

...as there is no such word in English
 
lol@German

Nice fake, but the "hidden link" thing really is totally unrealistic (especially for :apple: :D )

PS:
Ich habe nicht gesagt das es ein falsches Wort ist, [...]
I am a native german speaker, so don't try to argue with me.

Actually it has to be "Ich habe nicht gesagt, dass es ein falsches Wort ist [...]" ;)
 
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH^^^


But true, took german, got you there Appleseed, aber est ist also sehr gut :)

Booyah Appleseed! Deine mutter ist sehr preiswert! Sorry, that's the only thing I remember from German class 15 years ago :eek:

Edit: I really should clarify I this was meant to be amusing and in no way a jab or directed at Appleseed. It's just fun to say.

You seem to misunderstand something here. I am the native german speaker, but i agree that i made a mistake with the word "grammar" lol...that one always gets me.

Da hast du recht, peinlich peinlich...ich sollte mir mehr Zeit zum Schreiben nehmen. Ich hab mir nach dem Schreiben schon so gedacht das sich da was nicht richtig anhört. Aber zu meiner Verteidigung, Beistrich-Fehler/Komma-Fehler sind weniger schlimm....

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHH^^^

"aber es ist auch sehr gut" ;)

Yeah he got me with that one :D

But I guess we can agree on the fact that when someone wants to make a "good fake", he should at least get the grammar right, especially when it is in the headline of the page. "GRÖSSERER DISPLAY" lol :rolleyes:


lol, iphone and german in one thread. wunderbar! :D
WUNDERBAR!!!

...and only when you thought you really have no life, . . .

Watching this video two times made me realize how sad it is that I'm sitting here working my tail off to 'give back to society' and that there's actually people out there who have that much free time on their hands to go thru making this, only to publish it, have it immediately disproven, and above all, get absolutely no credit for their work.

:confused:

What a bunch of dumb $h*ts.
 
Ich denke dass wir nur auf Deutsch schreiben sollen. Es macht mehr Spaß :) Obwohl mein Deutsch ist nicht so gut :eek:
