Over the weekend, UK newspaper The Mirror published a series of photos which they claim is a working unit of Apple’s 4.7-inch iPhone 6, complete with retail box.
“There’s no 100% proof that the photos are authentic, but the details on show line up with the dozens of details already seeping onto the web about the next generation Apple handset,” the paper said.
Saying that the photos may not be 100% authentic is quite the overstatement. In fact, considering the fact that iOS 8’s biggest new app — Healthbook — is entirely missing from the screen, we’re going to say we’re about 100% sure that The Mirror got had.
More photos after the jump. What do you think?

Did you read the article? Or the title for that matter?
There are fake china phones out there that boot with Apple logo.. we just last week had someone post a review on it… idiots.. Running android that is HEAVILY skinned with Apple iOS 8 look-alike UI
Well seeming as this has the same photo of the iPhone on the front of the box as last year’s, and this year’s phone is getting a new form factor, I highly doubt they wouldn’t have some kind of angled shot to show the new body and thinness.
A golden box with a silver iPhone in it?….Yeah right
the background wallpaper is white iphone 5c’s wallpaper, careful.
The box is absolutely fake, this is the box of Goophone i6! I saw a video of tldtoday, fake iphone 6 unboxing, it was same box as this photo. Every leak,rumour is fake, everthing will be real in September 9.
