Not even close
A Photoshop job to be sure (just check out proportions of the Apple logo) but even if the execution were better, Ive and his team would never release something so pedestrian. Can't imagine Steve getting too excited about this. Quite the reverse. He'd probably sack anyone who brought in a prototype like that.
I believe (and hope) we'll get a somewhat streamlined version of the current minimalist design. Nothing fussy at all.

This one has the same line half way down the side... in between the pinky and ring finger.
Eh, maybe not.
Naaaa. Too big.

Fake - bottom left of the screen shows some incusion of the screen color into the area of the black case, like a touchup that went too far.
regardless of fake or not, above the iPhone word in the back looks like a screw or something metallic that was partially edited out, the words below iPhone are blurred as expected but then there is a second circular object that was also blurred out, like a second screw or something.

Fake
I am a bit surprised that no one is seeing the obvious... Look at the bottom where the flash lets alot of light in (Edit: the right image). You can clearly see the line of where the aluminum back stops and where the plastic on the current iPhone begins.
I will post the picture tonight when I get home from work.

As opposed to every other similar Apple product?
Personally, I want an iPhone that doesn't scream "iPhone." As a Mac user for the past 20 years, I'm sick of the posers who think they're cool because they have an iPhone.
Total Photoshop. Yes, the Apple logo is pixelated, the home button is not level with the screen , etc. as well as other factors. But what stood out to me was just plain bad retouching work with the hand. Look at the lower part of the hand . . . in the original left picture, they Photoshopped part of the phone out, so it it looks like the phone is half as think on one side compared to the other. The shadow on that phone should not be as dark or as sharp as it looks. The reflection on the phone in the right photo also does not look real. And if you look at both of these images, they appear to be of different thickness. As Elaine from Seinfeld would say, "Fake . . . Fake . . . Fake."
If only these pics were taken inside an elevator I might bite
I must be really bored at work today if I read all these posts when this thing is so obviously a fake. Couldn't be more fake if Bill Gates was holding the thing.
Seriously though, good job guys picking this thing apart.

What is with this MMS thing? Are we loving backward technology that much?
broken record but it is free and automatically setup on phones where as receiving emails is not free and requires setup. Why are people so against MMS, is it because apple told them that it is not needed because it really is, how does it affect you if it is included and you don't use it.
In reference to the nay sayers about this picture specifically because it is scratched we all know the original iPhone saw widespread testing before release and was even refined because of it. Therefore is it that much of a strectch to say that this picture phone has been subject to months of testing and is scratched because of it.
Probably not real but I still like the design.
Gosh I hope its not real, if it is , apple lost my two iPhone purchases for sure, not that it would hurt them at all.
Thats one FUGLY looking imitation iPhone

It would if a lot of people think like you.
I wouldn't worry though. What from the current line of Apple Products looks bad from a design standpoint? Nothing IMO, so I would bet the new iPhone will look nice too.
True.
I agree that it is something they should have included, since it seems like something pretty standard on most phones these days. (There has to be a good reason other than they just didn't want to...)
I'm just saying that I've never used it, so it isn't "needed". A numeric keypad is needed on a phone. An earpiece and microphone are needed. But something adds extra functionality that not everyone uses isn't necessarily "needed".
(Part of the reason I've never used it is the fact that I have an iPhone, but I never used it before that either.)

Did the iPhone scream iPhone before we first saw it? Not according to the myriads of mockups that completely missed the mark. Like a good movie ending or a novel, each new Apple product keeps us on our collective seats' edge. It's like Moore's law, except applied to design and function. I don't mind mass-acceptance of Apple products and the true poseurs will quickly move on to the next shiny toy because they will not or cannot appreciate the nuance.
European market is quite different to the American market MMS are used very frequently over here and have been for a long time. If this almost standard feature (I don't know of a phone in the last 3 years that hasn't supported MMS except the iPhone in the UK) isn't in the phone then it is major point. For example someone actually laughed that my phone couldn;t do MMS. Also there are loads of people who are using SwirleyMMS to get around it. There is no logical/technical reason for apple to not include it.
I have never used exchange support or stocks so why is this included, because it benefits some. MMS will benefit lots of people and so it is rather confusing as to why it wasn't included.
I wasn't going to buy an iPhone until it supported MMS (I got given one in the end)
I am against it because it is yet another way for the wireless companies to premium charge for what should be priced as a commodity. AT&T charges $0.30 per MMS.

By not including it, perhaps Apple is forcing the issue, I don't know.
