Look at the apple logo? The shadows? Pleeeeease. - ludwik, on 05/02/2008, -1/+128It's ugly - I really don't think Apple would release product looking like that. More likely it's just one of the Chinese fakes.
- spazzcat, on 05/02/2008, -1/+63Looks like a bad paint job to me...
- ucg1, on 05/02/2008, -4/+53True. Apple isn't capable of making a phone that ugly. At least I hope they aren't.
- joehassler, on 05/02/2008, -6/+37I don't believe these are legitimate pictures. My first reactions:
1. It looks boring and ugly. There's no way in hell Apple would release an iPhone that cosmetically looks bland compared to the previous model.
2. This could possibly be a test unit, using a bland design to avoid attracting attention if used in public. Or just a Chinese rip off.
3. I'll buy a first gen model if this is what the next iPhone looks like. The "iPhone" in these pictures looks terribly windows-ish. - Charlotte_Web, on 05/02/2008, -0/+30Is that supposed to be a real hand? Puh-leeeze.
- JeffMaster, on 05/02/2008, -1/+23no way... oh man, that's soo cheap looking. there's simply no way Apple would put out anything of that design. Elegant design is something Apple is known for.
- inactive, on 05/02/2008, -8/+28But if this were official you would say it's gorgeous.
- Jeffler, on 05/02/2008, -4/+23iPhon.fr Guy "Hey, this custom paint job sucks. I want my money back! But how?"
Ads + iPhone Rumor = Profit - TheWorm, on 05/02/2008, -1/+20Agreed. First off, they would never release a phone that is uglier than the current one, and the thing that stands out the most to me is how it is shorter on the top than on the bottom. I know that one of the things Apple intended in the design of the iPhone is for there to be symmetry when it is turned sideways. Afterall, this is the company that added a functionless screw to the left side of the Macbook so it would match up with the other side.
- uberamd, on 05/02/2008, -1/+18Clearly not real.... whats with everyone getting hard over potential new iPhone pics? Just wait until Apple reveals it, never trust a pic of a phone in some 13 year old nerds hands that he photoshopped to get 'internet cred'
- ophello, on 05/02/2008, -2/+19"Look at the apple logo? The shadows?"
Whats wrong with the shadows? There's a real phone there. Its the front and back of it that have been altered, not the shadow from the phone itself.
You idiot diggers always think you know what makes a photo fake. Most of you have no idea what you're talking about. - InorganicMatter, on 05/02/2008, -2/+17Absolutely no way. It is far too blocky, and doesn't have the excessive amount of curves required on any Apple product.
- xtraa, on 05/02/2008, -0/+151. Look at the scratches. This is a heavy used device. too heavy for a possible 2.gen iPhone time-frame.
2. Also the homebutton is not adjusted exactly parallel to the screen.
3. Applying any 'Edge-Filter' in Photoshop you will notice a heavy glow at the right side of the device.
= fake for me. - joeltth, on 05/02/2008, -1/+13it looks like someone stole after the scratch test
- HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -2/+14It's a bad photoshop.
- allemande, on 05/02/2008, -1/+11You're a bad photoshop.
- mpineiro, on 05/02/2008, -0/+10Looks like it could be a photoshopped LG Vu. In any case, it's far too ugly for Apple to release. Let's just relax, I'm sure it will look great when we finally see it. I'm excited enough by the prospect of 3G, GPS, and possible lower price.
- sharkd, on 05/02/2008, -0/+9It looks an awful lot like an LG Vu with some photoshop work.

(not a rick-roll) - CokeBear, on 05/02/2008, -2/+11Careful about including your fingers in the picture. Steve will zoom in, identify you by your fingerprints, and then you'll mysteriously disappear. Only your fingers will be left behind as a warning to others not to leak Apple products.
- TheKrillr, on 05/02/2008, -0/+9Your mom's a bad photoshop.
- TH3W1R3D, on 05/02/2008, -0/+9They should have taken the pics with the screen ON.
- placidified, on 05/02/2008, -0/+7i prefer the aluminum back...imagine the scratches on this.
- Cargo8, on 05/02/2008, -1/+8definitely fake. u can see all the noise near the logos and the screen looks photoshopped on.
- priegog, on 05/02/2008, -3/+10...And the pixels. I can also tell by the pixels.
- IHeartYourMom, on 05/02/2008, -0/+6But that would give away the fact that its not a real iPhone!!
- ascheinberg, on 05/02/2008, -3/+9I don't mind the look and feel, but it doesn't look as attractive as generation 1, and that's seems a little suspect. This does not look like current Apple products either, nor does it have the metal, silver inlay on the front that recent reports suggested it would.
- ascheinberg, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7Quick, edit your comment and add some more space between the first and second sentence!
- saltinekracka20, on 05/02/2008, -1/+7BUT WE CAN TELL BY SOME OF THE PIXELS
- IHeartYourMom, on 05/02/2008, -1/+6Your photoshop's a bad mom. OOOOOOHHHHH, BURN!!
- FecalHurler, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4No Ackbar ASCII? I'm dissapointed, Digg.
- debuggercll, on 05/02/2008, -5/+9If Steve Jobs was holding it, you'd be ready to get an image of phone tattooed on your forehead probably.
- Laxaloot, on 05/02/2008, -1/+5I still think the fat nano is uglier than the thin one.
- CJUNIT, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4Wasn't everybody saying the same for the "fat" nano before its release? I no longer here any complaints...
- TitaniumLizzard, on 05/03/2008, -0/+4or a good gimp
- HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -2/+6This is retarded.
- allemande, on 05/02/2008, -0/+4You're bad's a photoshop mom!
- VinceNoir, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Yeah... but running a whole LOAD ***** more crap isn't exactly something to brag about. I don't want choice, I want quality.
- migbike, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3i'm pretty sure apple would leave the logos off of a test unit...
- allemande, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3You're fake
- priegog, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4You know that by posting here... it makes you... yeah. I have a /. account too, but I don't particularly enjoy being labeled. But since you do... you're just meh.
- BadMammaJamma, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4FAKE. It is scratched to hell. My iphone is a 6 months old and it has not even 1/8 of the number of scratches on it.
- kreatre2007, on 05/02/2008, -1/+4It's fake.
- unconfirmed, on 05/02/2008, -2/+5Agreed. But only in hope. I think I'd give it a miss if that turns out to be true.
- benjhaisch, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Its a Chinese fake.
- airj1012, on 05/02/2008, -0/+3Sorry, obviously I don't own one, I was going off the one on the Apple site - http://www.apple.com/iphone/gallery/index3.html
But I still stand by it being ugly and the screen size. - ophello, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3um, its a photoshopped LG Vu. not pre-production, but fake. like it, hate it, you're just an idiot and we won't see anymore photos like this.
- uberamd, on 05/02/2008, -1/+3Yeah but think about the popularity that picture is getting now. Clearly he doesn't have the real thing, but by pretending to have it he gets his 15 minutes of fame.
- TheKrillr, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2The iPhone isn't a phone. It's a portable media device with PIM, telephony, and soon 3rd party applications.
Most people call that a PDA. - goodkidyo, on 05/02/2008, -0/+2mehhhhh seeeeeeeeeeeee?
