M.I.C Gadget has posted a video found on Vgooo that supposedly shows an 'iPhone 5' prototype booting up.

--
According to the Chinese tipster, he "accidentally" discovered an iPhone 5 prototype at Foxconn's factory in Jincheng, and when he got his hands-on with it, he could feel the phone is thinner, and it is indeed taller. He quickly took some photos, and a video. Well, is the boot up video real or fake? We are not sure, but it's still interesting to see the device in the video could not be activated, where it says,

"This device is not registered as part of the iPhone Developer Program. If you are a member of the program, please register your device in the @@url@@."

Fake! It appears to me that when the logo boots up, it created a reflection from the bottom of the LCD, and it appears that both LCDs are the same size 3.5, however the new phone shows like it has a black edge to make screen appear taller. What do you guys think?

Its the goophone i5 search it you'll see.

Will you apologize when you're 100% wrong?

Has anone noticed the nice glimmering effect of the apple logo fading into the boot screen? I never seen that on any current iOS release or handset itself. Nonetheless, what a fake!!!

Seeded 6.0 beta.

Still a fake. Here is the tip off that it's fake.....the screen of the so-called iPhone 5 (which, BTW, will not be its name) is NOT reflecting the environment like the screen of the iPhone 4 is reflecting. Conclusion.....it's a fake, and not a very good one at that. When your livelihood involves compositing 3D elements into live action video, you develop an eye for detail an the creator of this video missed an important detail......environmental mapping.

Quickly took a video with a camera and tripod he just happened to have with him so he could record with two hands? Come on now. And look at the home button and the hole next to the speaker/camera. Fake.

Fake: look at the side white bezel of the "iPhone 5", it's fairly uneven

Why am I smelling fakes from apple??? I think apple is doing all these fakes to let the people and other phones companies to think this is the iPhone5

Stephen A. Jobs - September 5, 2012 at 6:51pm

Why this might be fake. Look at the home button, and then that mysterious hole next to camera.

Awayze - September 5, 2012 at 7:27pm

Notification LED.

blah - September 5, 2012 at 6:31pm

Hah, love the phone's message. From Apple: "We're unable to complete you..."

wezz69 - September 5, 2012 at 6:17pm

i for 1 will not be forking out £600 for a stretched out iphone 4s, ill stick to my 4s until they radically redesign the iphone

Junaid - September 5, 2012 at 5:35pm

Apple is losing its secrecy more & more with every upcoming product, Steve Jobs must not be in peace.

SaSh72 - September 5, 2012 at 7:19pm

Yes this seems to be the most leaked phone since iPhone 4! So much for doubling down on secrecy!

Hihihihi - September 5, 2012 at 5:20pm

This is Real phone but it's nt iPhone 5 it's china iPhone 5 which came out 2 days ago u can check on eBay

Billfold - September 5, 2012 at 5:17pm

Looks real. The only surprise now would be a name. Sad that we all wait around all year for the next model and it's barely different and still manages to take 30 minutes talk boot up.

dark_destroyer - September 5, 2012 at 5:07pm

Looks the real deal to me

*cough* - September 5, 2012 at 5:11pm

Yeah, must be the real deal, as Apple are sure to use the header "We are unable to complete you..." Engrish much ?

*cough* - September 5, 2012 at 5:15pm

Never mind, I now can see it would be "unable to complete your activation".. So they've seemingly put IOS6 dev on a device.

Toshibo - September 5, 2012 at 11:37pm

I fake! Look the pic in the screen moving left right a little bit!
