The Interwebs rejoiced when concepts and would-be renders were tossed in the trash and replaced by seemingly legit iPhone 6 prototype photos, but as rock-solid their sources appeared, it looks like the images may have been doctored. Needless to say that we’d have probably been better off if we didn’t get so worked up in the first place about, well, gossip.

Sounds like genuine CSI business, so let’s not get further into details. Bottom line, there’s a good chance these images originated from Martin Hajek and his rich imagination. Exhibit #2 – fishy fonts. If you thought the smudge proof was thin, wait until you hear this theory. Or better yet, read it in full here as it needs quite a lot of explaining. Essentially, the iPhone logo is outdated. Again, thin, but it makes sense when you think about it.

No way could it have happened unless someone tampered with the “photos”. Case closed? You tell us, in the comments section below. Continue reading
