Loads of fake Apple shots hit the web: 3G iPhone pre-WWDC edition

Loads of fake Apple shots hit the web: 3G iPhone pre-WWDC edition

It's a few days before a big Apple event, and you know what that means: a ridiculous amount of really bad fake Apple product shots. Actually, you have to hand it to this first guy, pictured above. It's mildly convincing and sites are starting to pick it up -- the story goes some dude grabbed these pics from a Photoshop template his friend was working on and then posted it to Flickr, a scenario reminiscent of those iPod nano phatty shots that turned .

  • Our source who played with the 3G iPhone told us explicitly there is no front-facing videoconferencing camera.
  • Even still, when we were ferreting around the new 3G iPhone firmware today, we were keeping an eye out for altered or additional camera drivers, something to indicate a front-facing camera. Nothing.
  • The text explanation for Exchange and iChat are so bad as to make the whole thing unbelievable. (Apple's doing video chat for Windows? Huh?) But that's not all!
  • Say, wouldn't that exchange logo be in the Apple banner that's up at the Moscone right now? All the other iPhone icons are.
  • No Apple design would be laid out the way this guy's got his page laid out here.
    Bottom line: looks pretty, but so very fake.
