It has now become obvious that this is not the new iPhone. It is actually a photo of a case modification. It was originally hotly debated as to whether on not the picture was geniune, and with yesterday’s confirmation, it seemed all but positive that was it. It looks like it is back to we all get to know when Apple tells us. It is unknown whether the rumored features hold true.

From that photo, it is very clear that the glossy black photo of the supposed new iPhone was a fake. that case modification is touted as a protection case for the current iPhone. The picture we have been seeing, is just a picture of the current

iPhone with that case on it. The reason some one did not notice immediately what it was, is it is just now in sale, in Hong Kong.

The rumors that that was indeed the new 3G iPhone originated yesterday from Engadget, who said they had a trusted source that had confirmed the info. It is not known whether the source was pulling a fast one, and Engadget has not updated the post with more knowledge. We additionally do not know whether they leaked feature set that was presented will hold true. Aside from it having 3G, the feature set of the new iPhone is still unknown.
