Is this the iPhone 5 3D?

We’ve just been tipped by a tipster by the name of fishtoon that the next big iPhone iteration will not only be called iPhone 5, but that it’ll have two cameras on its back. This certainly isn’t the first time we’ve heard of the 3D functionality coming to Apple, as far back as July of 2010 when we heard that the company had hired Poly9 3D experts, inside December of 2010 when we saw Apple patent 3D glasses-free displays and Apple patenting 3D cameras as recently as March 31st, 2011. The most recent talk of 3D in Apple devices calls for a “paradigm shift from the known software-based approaches.” Is this the iPhone 5′s big surprise?

The photos we’re looking at here come from 175wan a site we’ve literally never spoken about or referenced before here on SlashGear, so take these photos with a glass of salt, but there’s a first time for everything, right? Are the photos above and below to be believed? Is a big 5 in a lovely swoop font ready to sit after the established iPhone brand name, and will there be two cameras instead of one on the back and of this new monster?

These photos come from someone in Shenzhen, Guangdong China, says the original release, and they’re photographed “by accident.” More than likely an accident in translation, these photos are quite obviously photographed with a purpose. Both to show off what the photographer hopes you’ll believe are a 4-inch display (with a lovely smaller bezel around the screen) and yes, behold, two camera lenses on the back! How easy would this be to fake, we musk ask ourselves, and is that shiny bump at the bottom of the back indicative of the entirety of the back of the device being a nicely printed sticker?

Additionally, the iPhone 4 box can be seen in the background – that large side-view of the device being only present in the newest series of devices, of course, and of course it’s important to note that these photos are blurry. Why on earth there can never be a decent photographer out there with the goods will continue to baffle us all into the future.

HahahahahahahahahahahabahBabahahahahahah
 
Not saying I believe this at all, but the bump at the bottom looks more like the plastic they stick on surfaces such as screens to protect them.
 
What really gives away that it's fake is the "iPhone 5" labeling on the back. That 5 is ugly, and Apple has kept it simple with just "iPhone" now on the back of the devices. Nice try though!

 
Well, the two cameras aren't even lined up for one.

Then, that 5...oh Buddha, that 5 is absolutely fake.


I can't even say that this was a nice try..
 
While obviously fake, the first tip off should have been that Apple has never put anything besides "iPhone" on the back of their phone. Not iPhone 3G, 3GS, or 4.
 
1. The two lens on the back look retarded.
2. The label is obviously PhotoShopped. I could do a better job at adding a "5".
3. From most reliable sources (esp. WSJ) the new iPhone is a new form factor. So it will not look like the current iPhone 4.
 
God I hope Apple never brings 3D to the phone. I can't believe whatever stupid company that is out there advertising a 3D phone. FAIL.
 
hhaha i laughes so hard!ofcourse it's fake.i can't even say it's a good photoshop.i'm sure i can make a better.. and this 5 is soooooo fake anyway

Yeah, because answering the Apple fanbase, and his loyal customers is SUCH a bad thing.

But anyways, the person who photoshopped this OBVIOUSLY has never used photoshop before. The second camera is lower than the second one and that 5 that they used would never be used on an Apple product.

Have you ever seen Apple use two different fonts in a logo in recent memory? I haven't, because they are all about simplicity and beauty, and that just screams cliche. Not to mention that 5 is totally the 5 from the FIVE GUM from Wrigleys.

Sorry [/graphic design rant]

It'd be easier to sell ice to an eskimo than pass this off as real

Not at all, this is actually one of the more convincing fakes. Not to anyone here, but to the average public it would be a more than adequate forgery.

Seriously, there would have to be HUGE advancements in 3D for apple to do this. I have a friend that always brags about his EVO 3D and it's screen and I literally look at the "3d" and laugh, it's awful.
