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.]
Uh no. It’s a rendering, genius.
Yeah, but the SIMM card tray is LIQUID METAL!!!
Cult of Mac reported on the same video 6 hours ago and clearly state the name of the creator of this video and why it was created. Your title for this article is very misleading and so is your article in general. You deliberately bait the idiot gullible readers. If it ain’t on Apple official website it ain’t real people. Wake the f..k up people. I am no longer going to follow your bogus reporting. Why dont you do fact checks and report only the facts not the crap.
goodbye… don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya. We hope you enjoyed your stay.
I don’t think it’s a fake. I think it is a trade show video promo for use at a booth. That’s why it has all of the tech specs.
I don’t see the need for using physical items to make a demo video when
manipulating with software rendering system is much easier. think Pixar.
FAKE Ad!
If it’s not real, Apple should hire the guy/gal who made it.
This it the guy who knew nothing about designs and they let go… They will not hire him again and if they were going to it would have been before making this silly video which everyone is calling FAKE! You need a bit more talent and skills before you are considered to be an good contributor.
Fake. Clearly.

An interesting fake, but a fake non-the-less.
nonetheless is one word.
*none-the-less
its not apple’s. its a guy from youtube that put it all together. it was on http://www.gizmodo.com.au a few days ago
I say fake
It was done nicely, but seems too fast to read. Who ever made it did a great job.
The music was annoying by the end. The speed and music needed work; the rest was nicely done, even for a resumed fake.
Of course it isn’t. It does seem like a little spoiler for tomorrow though.
Not real. All those detailed specs like 1GB RAM. Apple don’t make a fuss about that stuff. And resolution of the fingerprint scanner! Who would even know to wonder? Ooh, fingerprint scanner, I wonder what resolution it has???
It looks great, includes everything we thought it would plus the fingerprint scanner to boot, if someone went through a lot of trouble to make a misleading video they are really good. I my opinion this is the real deal. I think all in all people will be happy after Monday’s initial disappointing stock reaction.
The old Apple BTC (before Tim Cook): Always looking forwards.
The new Apple ATC (after Tim Cook): Forever looking backwards.
Really? Taller & slimmer? Snorefest coming up on the 12th.
What about DTC (during Tim Cook)?
Were you looking for wider & fatter?
The left nut is always looking for wider and fatter!
The give away here is three fold:
First, the images look like renderings, not actual products.
Two, the copy is not refined. Apple would not include so much descriptive copy in a video; they use short concise phrases.
Last, there’s a lack of cutesy Apple names for features. For example, ‘Fingerprint Scan’ is too generic. “ScanShield” would be more Apple-esq.
In the end, it’s a great video put together by someone trying to demonstrate their graphic & animation skills.
By the way, the date and time on the phone were a nice touch.
So is the 3G notification.
I think it is a fake. Everything is obviously CGI, and Apple uses physical models for their videos. Plus, it only has info in it that has already been available for a while, or makes new claims already based on that existing info. Additionally, it has a lot of technical minutiae that Apple tends not to include in their promo videos. My guess is that someone with good CGI skills is having a bit of fun.
Apple would have used the now infamous lifeless hand to hold the iPhone, but this is pretty good. Seems like lots of work for nothing.
The mini connector is not correct.
Ah, fake. Way too many technical details, Apple would never do that.
seems fake to me.
Nonetheless, I would rather have the new iphone the same thickness as the 4S but make the battery larger.
Gay
so what you are saying is that if the video is real, you are first in line to buy one, right? It totally flipped up your Gaydar© alarm.
Bottom line is, you fail to see that gay is a positive term, not a negative. Always has been. Open a dictionary, see for yourself.
Take it easy… if Random has that type of mind let him be… he will fail so many time until he gets it but if you have the prejudgement that every time someone says “Gay” they mean anything negative then you are the problem… I would like to think he meant “Gay” as a good thing… don’t prejudge.
Apple pitches “The Lifestyle” aspects of their products, not the technical aspects. And the music was an obvious attempt at Apple’s whimsical and simple style but sounds like the product of a 14-year-old kid.
Yes, a fake but a nice job of fakery and rendering. Probably looking for a job at Apple and this is his application for employment. All points raised are nice but still not as good as what will be see tomorrow. Any BTW look for one more thing….
It looked too thick. Whoever did the rendering messed up with his measurements.
I’m gonna call ‘fake’… Apple isn’t going to be touting the port as a ‘feature’… only geeks care about that. If anything they’ll tout the USB3, etc, faster speeds.. not this
I don’t think it’s legit. Apple wouldn’t mix iPhone features with iOS 6 features.
MDN, you hit it on the head. It isn’t music Apple would use. It is available on AudioJungle.net for about $5. I know because I have used it before.
Obvious rendering. Way too much jargon and mention of features that people wouldn’t have a clue about. Poorly worded.
Absolutely true. I am holding the actual product in my hand. It’s made of green cheese, and inside it’s delicious.
It is posted on Cult of Mac, clearly attributed to a person who shared how he made it. Nice reporting MacDailyNews.
