Wow I could film a better video when I was five. Looks like this guy needs to get hooked up with the lightbulb aisle at Home Depot :rolleyes:

But did anyone notice that the Apple logo was WAAAY of center when he was turning it on?
 
i love how at the end of the video, the shadow on going vertically against the screen doesnt move when he moves the screen. its a paper made phone.. haha
 
What are you talking about? every box looks the same.

I don't study box designs or anything, but I know some boxes do differ from country to country.

And the reason I claim it to be legit (I have no proof other than his two videos) is that when he twirls it around, you see the camera, the led flash, the antenna bands (and it shines) which means no cardboard around it.
 
When he zoomed into the back of it on the second video you could see it reflected light like cardboard.
 
hahaha man thats a terrible fake. It is also obviously a fake considering he didn't use a light because he knew if he did no one would even remotely believe it was real.

Even the led flash on the back was wrong haha
 
My vote is fake.

When he gets a closer look in the second video the back isn't even reflective. Looks more matte.

The video quality is bad along with terrible lighting. What's with the terrible camera angles too?

I really hope you are kidding. :rolleyes:

compare the led flash in the video to the pictures of the hands on phone
 
Stupid. I like how you dont actually see it start up. You see it off, then with the apple logo (terribly off-center), then with the home screen. You never once see the screen change. Except in video 2, where he obviously has an older phone covered with cardboard to look like an iP4. And the 'buttons' are flush with the sides, they dont stick out at all. As i said earlier, I CALL SHENANIGANS!
 
Sorry guys, this is clearly a fake. Skip to around the 3:40 second mark and look at the screen, notice how the diagonal line across the screen that separates the darker side from the lighter side doesnt move, even in the changing light.

I have seen that picture before and when i find it I will post it.

Best fake I have ever seen
 
Funny but I say fake. The box looks like a 3G model like others said.

The home screen shows a "7" for the calendar icon too. I guess it could be that if there's no SIM in there but I even question the home screen being real.
 
If it is fake, he did a good job on the actual hardware of the phone. Other than the apple logo it looks perfect. Hell it might actually be real. His demo of it is very responsive, fast processor. And who knows, maybe apple changed the box. None of us have seen anything come out of the box until now. That picture on the box on the tech specs could have changed. Every iphone to date has had the same similar box. Oh well, guess we will have to wait until thursday morning to find out for real. Im sure more videos will be surfacing soon. Lucky bastards that get there phones before everyone else!
 
That's 100% fake

1. The shadow on the front never changes and it's the exact same line that Apple uses on all their pictures.

2. It won't power on until he looks away from the phone for 20 seconds and then looks back down. Magically its on and the Apple logo isn't even close to being near the right spot.

3. The box like everyone else said.

4. You can see tape going around the top when he first takes it out of the box. Not the plastic covering thats on it, but tape. Also, when he takes it out of the box, there's no plastic screen cover thing that is on every phone.

5. Looks to me that he printed off photos and then places them on there as he went along to make it look like a real phone.
 
hey its possible it could be real. Box should be black but hey who knows really. That pic on apple could just be like that for show. And the software on it looked good. THe phone looked real good to be fake
