Questionable Photos Depict iPhone 5S Packaging With Redesigned Home Button

People care about better battery life, which IGZO and GRAM would do. Sapphire would help with scratches.
Always a blurry, pixelated, small picture.
**If real** someone taking a picture would likely have to do so from a distance and discreetly as to not get caught. Then they zoom and crop the photo making it small and pixilated
Seems like they're doing a throwback thing with the new iPhones. First a leak of a graphite iPhone 5S, which looks suspiciously similar to the 2G iPhone, then the iPod-style box for the iPhone 5C, and now we see a throwback box design that is not unsimilar to the iPhone 2G box design.
Makes sense, because it fits in with Jony Ive's "a new beginning" theme for iOS 7.

Umm..really? Jusy curious as to what prompts someone to post something like this? and use words like "never"? And when google is only a few clicks away.
Where do people get the potatoes they take these photos on? In other news, this is interesting. There was chatter on here that the blank circles on the event invite could represent the finger print sensor. If these product photos are accurate, that would appear to be the case. Not sure these photos represent the product very well though, I had to double take to see if it was illustrating iOS 6 with a black background. Doesn't seem to show off iOS 7. Although we have seen 5Cs in their packaging depicting iOS 7 with a block colour background, maybe it's to do with them pushing lots of different iPhone colours.
I guess we'll just have two wait. Only three days now.
Edit: On second take, this definitely looks like it could be genuine. It definitely makes people notice the different icons and home buttons. Keeps the "hurr durr Apple releasing the same phone again" lot at bay.

One day I'm going to become someone who leaks apple stuff. And I'll make sure to use a Canon EOS 5D Mk3 when I take them. You'll be able to see every last detail.
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!

I'm not quite sure what you see as an image of a phone? I seem to recall every iPhone box having a photo of the device on the top in some manner. Which leads me to believe you've never seen an iPhone box before. Which is odd.
