3G iPhone with Glossy Black Back?
Apparently the new iPhone will also sport a glossy black back, replacing the satin nickel look found on the current model.
If iPodObserver.com's source is correct, the redesigned iPhone back also drops the black plastic end piece that covers the antenna, and it appears that Apple will continue to offer an 8GB model.
iPodObserver is not a typical rumor source, so we're uncertain about the reliability of their sources.
"Leaked" photos rarely turn out to be legitimate, but this one has already generated a lengthy debate in our forums. Due to the attention it has received, we are posting this for interest alone, and do not necessarily believe it represents a true leak. Some of the initial comments suggested it may have simply been a Colorware custom iPhone or a custom replacement back. Neither of these options, however, completely replace the bottom plastic portion of the iPhone as shown in the photo.

Yep, this is eather the first custom cover to also replace the bottom half of the back iPhone case, a normal custom cover picture thats been Photoshoped or just a normal Photoshoped iPhone pic. I think its one of the last 2... That seems most likley
Eather way, this is a obvious fake, Apple would never make this, it looks like the quality of a crappy Chinese knock-off.
Let me set this streight... If this was a real leaked photo, Apple would have pulled it from thr net. Period. They would NOT leak it themselves for any reason. Apple take leaks seriously, when they were doing the iPhone (before it was announced) the hardware and software departments worked completley sepratly, they didnt share any infomation or anything, all in the interest of secracy.
Thats because many people have just descovered the joy of messing with fake iPhone pictures in Photoshop! I would join in too but I am to poor to afford Photoshop :(
You know what that means!?!?!? iPhone Nano FTW!
And that makes you.......
:D
After reading through the entire thread i will have to agree with the majority that it is a fake!
I'm an idiot!
Pleaaaase no more glossy stuff to scratch. For the love of God.
This comming from GlossIrony? :cool:
That cartoony black/white combination seems too tacky for apple, even if I were to believe this was not a fake.
I understand where you are coming from. But this is cell phone territory, and they are tacky! ;)Looks nice to me.
Real or Fake? Hard to say. Probably fake.
Edit: With the new iPhone being 3G, maybe Apple will make a significant change to the case so it will be easy to see the difference.
Isn't it just a black Colorware iPhone?
no because the colorware ones still have 2 pieces on the back, there is no apparent seam on this one

The black Macbook sports that very look...
