Questionable Photos Depict iPhone 5S Packaging With Redesigned Home Button

[nnn1817]

I'm going to go with fake. Usually Apple shows off one of the new wallpaper backgrounds. In this photo it just has a black background.

I mean the leaked iPhone 5C boxes had the color of the phone as the background in the picture so...

and also this new alleged homebuton is exactly like the one that 9to5Mac decribed so I think it looks pretty legit to me

Cmon....Why do people say things like this? How the hell would you have any clue at all if this is real or not?

And you think this box looks just like the 5 box? Not even close bro.

If I were a betting man, i'd put my money on "FAKE". Looks more like China knockoff packaging to me. And if it is real (and maybe it is) this photo makes it look terribly cheesy.

And if it is a China knockoff, one thing i can take from it is that the home button will change and most likely look similar to this one. But in a nicer, more refined kinda way.

Just relax. All these rumors will be over before you know it. 3 days...Just 3 more days. Hang in there.

All I am saying is that it is real, because it is

Does anyone notice that this box shows the same similar chromeish circle around the new TouchID/home button as the white phone that was leaked last night?

I'm going with this is real....

No, none else noticed that, even though it is in the thread topic and 50% of the commenters already commented about just that........

Seeing as the last post here was on September 6th and the leaked white phone was last night, September 9th, I'd say No, no one made the comparison.

Chill dude. This is a friendly place.

Yes, we are all clowns - from your list of "innovations" above:

- New processor - nothing relevant, just slightly faster/speed bump;
- Camera/flash - part of the same slight "improvement", nothing substantial enough to make you ditch your SLR, or even beat other leading phones' cameras;
- Fingerprint sensor - is that all, folks?
- New colours - you must be joking;
- Battery life - we'll see on that.

Thread's open again, and I want an answer. This is bizarre behavior. In case you don't remember my reply, here it is:

Why did you put that word in quotes? Did I say it? Were we even arguing on that? As far as I know, whether they're innovative or not, they still make it different to the iPhone 5.

And you also said "we'll see on that" only for battery life. Aren't we also yet to see how the fingerprint sensor will be used? Or how good the camera will be? Or how much power will be added? Or how the power will be used? If you think it's irrelevant, ask an iPhone 4 user how they're doing with iOS 7. Why are you making such judgements?

Are you guys joking about this being "questionable?"

The only ones that don't believe the leaks so far are the ones who still grasps onto the mere fact iOS 7 is going to change the way it looks and it's still tacky, ugly, and pathetic compared to "being innovative". These are the same folks who yap out "it's a beta!" - when we are on the final release due in a few days.

This is the real iphone 5S - there are NO MORE SURPRISES. If there were anything out of the ordinary, you would've seen it leaked by now. Let me sum it up for you again, Tim Cook Style:

(in no particular order):

- "wooo-woooo-woooooo obnoxious crowd screaming when lights dim and some cheesy U2 song is playing in background"

- tim cook appears. Slow starting speech. Announces how successful iOS is yet again for the 7th time. Praising App Store success, apps being downloaded more than McDonald's being served. Compares to competitors and how iOS still dominates everything (but in reality, it is just not true). Begins to compliment how successful iBooks is and how it enables children to learn (while not being told the truth that more and more children have worse and worse vision staring at the LCD all day long). Talks about how great apple stores are and opening another one in vietnam. Blah blah blah, more slow un-titalating speeches about how great apple is. Trying to distort reality but his abilities are really not at the jedi master level yet.

- Of course you see mr. wart himself, Phil comes on stage. Bam, talks about improving iPhone 5. How great the iPhone 5 is (and it is a nice phone). Then talks about how crappy passwords are and how millions don't lock their devices. Introduces iPHone 5S - fingerprint sensor, talks on and on about how it's so great. How others failed and how apple succeeded. Goes on to introduce iPhone 5S itself and the new processors, updated camera, and the same old shhhhh as the iPhone 5. How great 4" screen is and how the new 5S camera can shoot 60fps 1080p video. Just that the iPhone 5 LCD can't even display 720p

- More features shown on iphone 5S camera, comparisons to other cameras, knocking on nokia 1020 faux 40+ MP camera. Then the biggest surprise, iPhone 5C colored iPhones. Crowd goes bezerk.

- Tons of the same old same old same old presentation with the same product but trickled improvements from previous because who will buy an iPhone when they do everything now, they will milk everything slowly so they can call it an iPhone 6 next year.

So there you have it, sums up everything - you have seen the real deal already and unless there is an AMOLED 4" screen, some kind of super processor, or a huge battery pack, it's already all seen and done before.

You people who are doubting the reality of this leak, come this tuesday, you will just clap away like a clown and smile then wait a week to order the SAME iPHONE 5 with an S at the end of the iPHone 5!

Haha, sorry but I had to dig this back up now that the keynote is done.

All I can say is, not bad... not bad at all...

Actually, he didn't talk about how well the App Store is doing. He didn't talk about how many apps were being dowloaded. He didn't talk about how iOS dominates everything. He didn't talk about iBooks. He didn't talk about opening a new store in Vietnam.

Titalating is not a word. Many were titillated anyway.

So yeah. Pretty bad.
