EDIT: Read this wrong.Um i think its time to update your iphone
But yeah update your iPhone, OP.
Is this really legit, or was this sent via Find My iPhone? Can someone confirm?
nvm, it's fake. I don't use Find My iPhone, so i didn't have an idea.

Find my iPhone. It's obvious Apple wouldn't send this out, and the bold part says "Important Message" which is what FMI notifications say
You may have missed some of the above posts. It appears likely that the OP faked the messages using his Me.com account.
I am not a developer, but it seems weird that Apple would send a notification like this through the OS instead of say a Mass email? Also, wouldn't the new notifications have this on the lock screen as a single line entry and on the home screen on the bottom panel?
I'm requesting for some more useless threads to be closed in the iPhone forum. It's really annoying to see fake threads being bumped up regularly.
i think it's fake.Because he says he is running in iOS 5 Beta 5 so what this message means ? to update to ios 5 beta 6 ?lol .He just sent a fake message from me.com like others said.
that's what i think
that's what i think
Hm, interesting how they put iPhone 5 in there.
EDIT: OP, how are you on iOS 5 if the iPod icon is still there?? In iOS 5, the iPod icon was split into Music and Videos. This is a fake.
"not currently supported"? That's not even proper English so I don't think Apple would say that. It'd be "currently not supported".

It is proper English either way, but this is still obviously a fake.

Why the hell would Apple disclose "iPhone 5"
They wouldn't, which is why it's fake.
And why would it say not currently supported... currently... Like the iPhone 2G/3G will be receiving iOS 5.0 in the future?!? It should read not supported.
