Fake for two reasons: 1. The screws are standard posi screws and Apple use their own secure screws, why would they go back to screws that people can easily remove. 2. The earphone jack on this phone is obviously made of plastic and Apple ALWAYS make the jacks out of metal so the headphones don't damage the port when inserting them. Would be a stupid design decision. Apple and other companies have been known to release fakes into the wild to throw people off the scent.

Siri don't work in the uk. Fast? Oh is it can you really tell its faster? We will get told how great the new iphone is and when you get it you will see that its just as bad as the others FA

the typeface on the back is not the same font used for the real iphones and the idevices in general. usually, when someone tried to knockoff an apple product, it's the area that they fail to copy.

Apple is a company who firstly invents something and then keeps selling long long time... like the macs there havent been huge new thing since Retina plus the designs of the products havent been changed for ages. Compare MBP, iMac and Mac PRO... when did you see dramaticly big change in theirs design? The thing they do is improve their products from year to another but Apple never updated their products looks like they did with iPhone from v1 to 4 but i guess now they happy with the result and will keep it for while now... only making small adjustment.

Probably is a fake... But if it is the real deal...apple didnt really make an effort to do squat with the design...if its just another upgrade in camera and processor chip like they did with the ipad...then that really sucks!!! Apple is a company which prides itself in killing the competition when it comes to unique products...but then again...those products were the result of steve jobs being around.....no steve jobs= a bunch of losers who do what every other company is doing and just keep mAking the same product with one or two upgrades... I will stay with my iphone 4 or maybe just upgrade to a sAmsung galaxy 3
