“A never before seen image of what looks to be a QR code generated after some type of test was found in the camera roll of a straight-from-the-factory iPhone 5, possibly offering a rare glimpse at one of the final steps an Apple device passes through before being shipped out to consumers,” Mikey Campbell reports for AppleInsider.

This is so easy to fake my grandma could have done it. In fact, gramma is that you?

Oh well, there’s always the iPhone 6.
That’s going to be bugging that owner for a long time, just waiting for that possible 65% test failure to surface.
AFAIK, the QR code was invented by Toyota in Japan to enable things like better QC and parts tracking, thus this is not that far fetched.
Cool, when I scan the barcode I get the message “Death to Samsung”
