BEWARE FAKE PHOTOS

The problem with reporting on a product that doesn't officially exist is working out which leaks are real and which ones are just made up. Sadly, the most recent iPhone 6 photos have proven to be fake.
Posted by a Twitter user, @mornray886, the photos purported to show the iPhone 6. However, closer inspection showed that things weren't quite as they appeared. For starters, the Twitter user was new and had only posted up these pictures.
Secondly, the phone was covered in protective plastic, but both the front and back had identical air bubbles. Finally, a Reddit user showed that the fingerprint smudges were lifted from an iPad render made by Martin Hajek. This proved that the iPhone 6 photos were just an artist's rendering.

Don't believe the hype, this isn't the iPhone 6

We're not against renders, as they can help visualise what a feature might look like. However, we are against renders being passed off as the real thing. As for the iPhone 6, we're going to have to wait a bit longer to find out what it will really look like.
