Loads of crap…er, fake photos of the new iPhone leak out

We expected this to happen. With the anticipation, excitement and hype building up as the WWDC approaches, an iPhone fan leaked faked photos of the supposedly new iPhone. Actually, CrunchGear was the first to break the news, claiming it the images arrived in their e-mail inbox. They put a watermark on the photos, and, soon enough, it started hitting the blogsphere, including a hit in Techmeme.

So, what do we know about the new iPhone based on these leaked photos? 3G, red iPhone version, front facing camera for iChat feature, thinner than the older version. Basically, that’s it. Not too much detail, of course, as it would just give away the fact that those photos are fake and are all part of some iPhone fanboy’s desire to create a stir in the already stirred-up community of iPhone fanboys like us.

Incidentally, this is not the first time CrunchGear broke this kind of juicy item. Not so long ago, they posted images of a then unreleased photo of the 3rd gen iPod nano. That time, Apple’s legal office asked them to take down the images. We guess this won’t happen this time as certainly Apple will not take photos as fake as these seriously. And besides, it’s barely two days before big event on Monday, so all the Apple guys must be pretty busy right now preparing for Monday’s keynote.

Anyway, it’s all fun; a good way to end this pretty exciting week in “Apple-landia.”
