    Boxes like them can be taken from any where and still can claim "I took this picture from the back of the Apple Store"

    But the tape is crooked on the boxes, so it means the boxes were thrown together rapidly to get them to the stores on time...

    One small thing that is bothering me about the box pictures... there is no visable outer damage from shipping, no visable smudges from shipping, and no shipping label on the top (that I can tell) or a packing list for that matter (they may have opted to not put a packing list on the boxes of course). How many of us have sent anything airborne, fedex, USPS, or UPS and gotten it in pristine (clean and dent free) condition? Its a possibility the one out of four would reach the other end looking like a new box but 3+ boxes, I doubt it. Infact today I got a box of glassware for candle making and not one side was unmarred or dented in some fashion. I'd like to believe this picture is of the real apple store stockrooms and new machine's shipping boxes... but sometimes its the information that isn't there in a picture then what IS in the picture.



    Just my $.02

    No doubt. They are photoshopped

    Yeah the shading is all wrong on those boxes. Obviously rendered in a 3D program, than overexposed on a scanner after being printed out on a fiery printer. Fake *CONFIRMED*

    Wow, you people are twisted... I like it!



    These were shrink wrapped together and on a pallet, also there is 7 boxes shown (3 in frot and 4 behind those 3, as you can see one more stacked up) and there is 3 more boxes on the other side of the room.



    This picture was taken with my camera on my new cell phone (hence the size)





    k later.
