YouTuber “tony stew” has posted a video entitled, “Official iPhone 5 Promo Video September 12 2012.”
We’ve embedded it below.
The video claims certain design characteristics (unibody construction, glass cutouts, etc.), device measurements (4.6 ounces, 7.6 mm, etc.), specs (A6 processor, 1GB RAM, etc.) and often does so in Apple-esque ways (note how the width animates down to 7.6mm – it seems like something Apple would produce). In other places, however, the video doesn’t seem as kosher (The text “Antenna at top and bottom with glass cutout RF windows,” for one example, seems too wordy and clunky for Apple to have produced).
What do you think?
MacDailyNews Take: One glaring issue, among others, that we have with it is the music, it just doesn’t seem like a piece that Apple would use.
[Thanks to MacDailyNews readers too numerous to mention individually for the heads up.]
Who ever did this, did a good job. Kind of exciting. Apple usually has a voice over.
What really is the point of this video if it is not coming directly from Apple? I wish I had this persons free time to waste.
Why can’t everyone just wait until tomorrow’s announcements and get another hobby?
Don’t be stupid MDN.
It’s an edited version of a mockup video by iConcepts.

Apple uses it’s people to tout the new features…

Music to “Free Background”
This peopel sud keep patience till tomrow .company itself remove the curtain for next revolutionary design and upgraded features ..!! so crowd chill and just enjoy the show .. !!
Nice, cudos to the creator. I really wish I could make such videos. But it is way too technical to be true.
surely the giveaway is the google maps icon and we know that’s been dropped ! duh !
Entertaining but fake. lol
Also, the Clock App is wrong.
Here is where the music was purchased from…

Fake.
Just not classy and slick enough to be a bona fide Apple marketing release.
Too much info about dimensions etc.
Apple is much more about the experience than the specs.
No. This is not something Apple produced. Look at the terminology used – not Apple style. Look at the animation, not Apple at all. And it kind of sucks, which is unapple, but after the “Genius” commercials, that could happen.
The lack of common sense in this world has become far too common.
Not a chance in hell.
Well done but not an Apple video.
I’m saying fake. Fake but good.
Apple would never do a video with all that in it.
For a stat they wouldn’t mention the sim card as they don’t design those for a start.
Totally fake. To much information, not apples style at all, they keep their videos very simple and focus on 2 or 3 new features not everything and te kitchen sink.
This is a fanboys video wish list and no way official from apple.
This does not have the look of an apple ad, and finger print scanning from the home button yea sure. The graphics are CG and not the live look of the real product, plus they never slam people with that much technical minutiae.
No voice over, too many stats, poorly rendered iPhone, fingerprint reading home button, dodgy same size SIM tray, O2 logo on SIM. If you think this is real, you’re a moron.
