Fake iPhone 7 used in Apple Music Ad?

[Appleaker]

The new Apple Music video starring James Corden appears to be using a fake iPhone 7 or an iPhone 7 prototype.

It's possible that it's simply an altered 6s, but nevertheless it is very interesting.

Is this from the smaller camera? If so, I think it's just a 6s with the two horizontal antenna lines edited over.

Yeah the camera is smaller and in a different position, so it looks to me like a 6S either altered before or after filming.

I can understand possible reasons for doing it, but I don't understand why they didn't use a 7. At the time of filming the design was final, so maybe it was to avoid leaks... although it doesn't seem like that would have done anything.

BUSTED!! Lol good eye OP.

Good catch!

I'd bet it's a prototype.

Definitely looks like the antenna lines were covered over. The camera is also a giveaway, looks more like an edited iPhone 6. Nice catch!

Think it was shot long before iPhone event. Maybe even at a short time after WWDC.

Looks like 9to5Mac have now caught onto this...
although they seem to think there is no camera bump (there is evidently a camera bump - just a 6/6S one).
