This is a total fake, for a number of reasons: the date on the unlock screen isn’t the same as the one on the calendar, and the apps obviously activate themselves before the guy doing the supposed iPhone 4S actually touches them.
Got to say, though, this is still one of the better YouTube fakes we’ve seen, and we’re guessing the boys at ECA Games are responsible, given that their unreleased stunt motorcycle game Rock(s) Rider is prominently featured in the app. Well done, scoundrels!

Man you really think this is the best yet? You still believe that the new iPhone will look the same? Apple has never held a press conference for a device that only carries internal improvements..
“But Ed, they did for the 3Gs!” WWDC doesn’t count. The MBA; redesigned. The iPad; redesigned. Both had press conferences. iMac; spec bump. MBP; spec bump. Only got recognition on Apple’s website.
Apple doesn’t believe in performance enhances being “press conference-worthy”; only design. For claiming to be Apple enthuisiasts, you really don’t know much, do ya?
My gues is….that this is the 4S, and there should also be unveiling the 5 with the teardrop next tuesday! (i also hope they anounce a 240gb iPod classic)

You mean like the iPhone 3GS?
Can you read? The 3Gs was unveiled at a developer conference; a conference that was already taking place.. Never in history has Apple held a PRESS conference for spec bumps and that is exactly what CoM is suggesting.
“no significant evidence”. What about the Chinese case makers that bought an iPhone 5 prototype and were confident enough to make millions of cases?? If a company is willing to put millions of dollars of revenue on the line then it’s good enough for me to speculate that Apple will follow their own path by launching a redesigned iPhone. Mark my words.
This has to be the ugliest mock up ever put together for a so called iphone.
oh man forget the iphone, i’m in love with that bike game!
