Wow, just wow. Is that the quality of renders these days? it completely fooled me, it looks so real, there's even slight wear & tear around the earpiece. Amazing job.
Yes good 3D artists blow me away nowadays. I particularly like the worn edges around what looks like the screen protector (which ironically is a giveaway since who would put a screen protector on a leaked prototype).
I understand that this is probably a rendering (deferring to many of you who seem to know what you're talking about). Question, though...I don't see many, if any, posts regarding the black trim. Are "you guys" generally okay with that? I personally love the look of the iPhone4/4s, particularly the chrome trim. Even if this is just a rendering, I'm surprised I don't hear more comments on that. Did I miss a rumor suggesting the trim would change? I don't really like this look, but it wouldn't be a deal breaker. Thoughts?

There have been discussions about the trim in previous threads. I like the black, it's pretty nice. I don't know how many rumors addressed a change in color.
The wood is the dead giveaway. Based on the scale of the phone, those planks are like... thumb width (or less) and yet have so much grain detail. It makes no sense at all. Clearly way out of scale... unless the new iPhone had a 24" screen.
Yes, the article even states that it's a rendering.
However, the original Flickr rendering says that it's based on leaked photos (presumably, the photos of the case that we saw a week ago). So, if the leaked photos are real (that's a big 'if'), then this could be an accurate representation of how the phone would actually look. Rendering doesn't necessarily prove that it's wrong - look at the guy's rendering of the white iPhone. While not perfect in every detail, that gives a very fair representation of how the white iPhone appears. The same thing could apply here (and I hope it does - I like the appearance of this phone).
All the edges of the front glass look crappy to me. Even around the earpiece. Something's not right With these pictures. I don't think apple would leave The edges of the front glass looking like that. Unless What I'm seeing is just from the picture. But this is like the third different time in seeing The same metal back and frame. It does seem like thats The new phone.
What's with all of the "fake" posts? The article clearly says it's a rendering--I mean, it's the first word in the title and everything. Pretty impressive job, my compliments to the artist.

The original article didn't say it was a render, it was updated later, (hence the "").
Yes, the article was updated about six hours after the original posting. Interestingly enough, it looks like it was fixed about five minutes after I posted a link to one of those images from the guy's Flickr account, where he says what software he used.
If the photos are real, the phone is not running iOS 6.0. As you can see, the maps app is represented by the old maps icon. It is unlikely that a prototype phone would be running iOS 5 instead of a beta of iOS 6.
It's not a photo it's a 3d render, based off the rumors that this same group of sites have been spreading to get hits. Frankly I suspect that we are about to have another iPhone 5 game. Every site was pushing those rumors, making such renders etc but it was all false. And this is likely to be as well. In fact I wouldn't be shocked if the reason Apple hasn't bought the hammer on these folks is that they know it's all false and they want folks so business assuming this is true that they aren't trying to find the truth. Apple might have actually started these rumors for this purpose.
I find it suspicious that these purported leaked photos were posted to a Chinese website but feature a phone connected to AT&T's network (at 5 bars no less!)
To give the suggestion that the source was in the US, and thus very possible someone connected to Apple.
Looking closely at previous photos/videos, it seemed to me that the glass might stick out a bit in front (as it does on the current model) but NOT on the back. I thought that was odd. Why stick out at all—just make the metal larger. But that’s what is seen here. Either the render’s creator saw the same thing I did in the existing alleged leaks, or has a legitimate source all their own.
P.S. It amuses me that this is the BEST Apple fake ever, and yet we all know it’s fake (Still likely to be accurate, though.)

It's not totally clear that the back has any glass in it, which would explain why the glass doesn't stick out. The video from a few days ago didn't show any gasketing on the back, which might suggest it's not glass.
Is this fifth or sixth generation? Going by Apple's model identifier code the original iPhone and the iPhone 3G were the same generation, the iPhone 3GS was 2nd generation, the iPhone 4 was 3rd generation, and the iPhone 4S is fourth generation.

People don't care. What they care about is when people try to pass them off as photographs or the real thing.

The Appleinsider arcticle? Ahh. Good enough. It's been updated then since I read it.

Wow that is by far the most beautiful product render I have seen of all time. I wish Apple official product photography was like this.

The original article didn't say it was a render, it was updated later, (hence the "[u]").

The two-tone back reminds me of the first gen iPhone, a more sleek and modern interpretation of it - which is not a bad thing IMO.
