Wow. Crazy if it ends up having earned more than James Gunns version of Superman. 

It would be crazy but not terribly likely. Superman has been out for a week and has already grossed more domestically and has made about three quarters of F1 when you look at total sales worldwide. That said, if Superman has a rapid fade then F1 could hold onto its lead. It does have a chance of being in the top ten for the year domestically.

I love a good rumor as much as the next person but can we not normalize this kind of behavior? While it isn't illegal to take someone's photo in public is still an invasion of privacy and promoting this kind of thing will only lead to more instances of this kind of thing. 

Sorry to say, but the law is quite clear, when in public, it is fair game. While I can't take a photo of someone and use it commercially, there's nothing stopping anyone from taking photos, recording video, or capturing audio of anyone in public.

Like I said in the piece, it's not something that's going to be a problem because these kinds of design changes are very rare. Nearly every other prototype iPhone has looked identical to its predecessor with the exception of iPhone X, which was prototyped in a literal brick-sized box IIRC.

I wouldn't worry about this becoming a common way to leak iPhone information.

Not sure if you missed the point or intentionally avoiding it. I clearly stated it wasn’t illegal but legality doesn’t make it right. People should be able to go out in public without someone photographing them. When you use the photos you are ultimately enabling the behavior. Cool that you didn’t break the law but did y’all make the right choice. This person now has their pictures splattered around the internet. The news value?  That there is a new phone and if you put in a giant case no one will see what it looks like? Stop the presses! 

Don't want to be photographed? Don't stand in broad daylight with a prototype iPhone in a public area. idk what to tell you.

 I'd like to refer you to the headline of your article as you seem to be hedging your bets on if it is actually a prototype or not. 

It's really about decency, we have become a culture that just tramples on people's privacy for clicks. Posting the pictures while maintaining the individuals privacy would have been really easy and taken nothing way from the story. What is even stranger is you are doubling down on this and acting like you have no agency. Yes, someone else took the picture but you decided to publish it as is. 

Want to be a respected new outlet? Don't act like a TMZ hack. idk what to tell you.
