Just to say that that metal one on the Foxconn box has the same serial as the iPod nano 16GB Chromatic.
 
Ok, Mr. Intelligent. It's been 3 years since the original iPhone launched. Perhaps Apple found a way to make a phone out of aluminum or a similar material, without affecting performance? Also, the iPad is made out of aluminum, yet it uses 3G service. You're acting like you know for sure what will happen, and you don't. None of us do.


And saying that, I feel the plastic cover has design faults which Apple are surely going to try and iron out.

Who has a 3G or 3GS which has cracks/ed on the bottom where the plug goes in? A huge flaw... Big enough of a flaw for me to know people who have walked into the Apple store and Apple just exchanged it for a new one...

The iPad has a black strip if you hadn't noticed, much like the original iPhone.
 
Yes, if it's A1285. Hard to read...

Just looked up A1289, it's the 8-core Nehalem Mac Pro.

Either way, B.S.

I agree, although I like the design (I like metal things, the 3G and 3GS didn't appeal to me as it was plastic and that looks cheap to me - or maybe I'm a magpie and like shiny things :eek:)
 
Here's what I see.

its very Ugly

?

looks like a rendering

That's what I thought. Maxwell maybe. It produces that grainy look.

It can't be all metal. Otherwise it will have some serious signal issues.

Using aluminum would hinder the cellular reception wouldn't it ?

The plastic apple, plus using the new MBP strategy of putting antennas at the openings should do fine.

I call BS on this, Johnnie Ive wouldn't make a non rounded design like that, the lines are too harsh.

Looks *just* like the iPad - well except the bevels leading from the corners to the back look a little unrefined, leading me to think it could be a rendering. other than that, looks pretty spot-on. Personally, I think they are going back to Alu.


that's what i wish for....

That's even closer.


You have demonstrated you have no idea how perspective works.

Seems correct to me.

I don't see how they would go back to angles after touting the more curved and comfortable 3G / 3GS back. There was a big focus on how much more comfortable the new iPhone was to hold compared to the first.

The iPod touch is a different beast. The second generation has a nicer feel around the screen, but the smooth rounded back makes it harder to hold. Fortunately there are some really good cases out there to rectify the situation.
 
Hello everybody :),

I'm the autor of these pictures. I've made this with 3dsmax and Vray render. Photoshop has been just use to create the noise and resize the pictures.

For the perspective problem on the third pics, it's just a lens distortion of my camera.
Stop search, it's just a 3D render exercise.

I'm happy to see that my work unleashed passions but it's A FAKE.

Now we have just to wait June to see the real truth.

Thanks for clearing that up, and I have to say, it is quite nice :)

So, how about those metal ones on the Foxcon(s) (check the label, looks like an "n" has been ripped off)
 
The white looks good!

I was all for having an aluminum design, but not if it looks like that. That thing is just ugly. I like this concept the most, just without the circle around the Apple logo, and none of those ugly colors like the pink, blue, green, etc.
