Full Screen iPod 4 Real? - March 5, 2006
A site called MacShrine has been posting image of full screen iPods for the last few weeks. Almost every image they have posted has been proven to be a FAKE. Most of these were photoshoped images of the current iPod (video). MacShrine had also claimed that Apple was supposed to release this unit on the Special Apple Event on February 28th. However, the only things that came out were the Intel-based Mac Mini & the iPod Hi-Fi.
The reason we are posting this, even though there is a pretty good chance this is fake, is because the images look more realistic than any of their previous ones. They have currently posted three pictures: iPod Nano besides the “new” iPod AV, iPod AV in someone’s hand, and the iPod AV in the iPod Hi-Fi dock. MacShrine currently claims that Apple plans to release this product on April 1st, 2006, which is Apple’s 30th “birthday”. (founded on April 1st, 1976) Anyways take a look the “possibly fake” images and decide whether they are real for yourself. Also click here for the 3rd image (next 2 ipod nano).
Update 1: As expected the first image has been proven to be completely fake. (Actually is a G5 iPod) MacShrine is offically “full of crap!”
Update 2: It turns out that the image we just linked to above which proved the iPod AV to be a fake is also fake! So pretty much everything here is photoshoped. More like these are sure to turn up soon :(
Update 3: We got bored so we made an iPod Nano AV!

proximity says
Has been proven fake: http://www.gregard.com/IMG_0752.jpg
mario says
i agree with proximity,the link that he posted, http://www.gregard.com/IMG_0752.jpg , prooved that the FIRST image was fake, you can tell by looking at the metal reflection, they are identical even to the smudges, and on the mock image, it shows too much white on the lower corner facing us. but i have fate taht the othere images might, just might, be real. i hope
ALX says
You guys take a REALLY close look at the picture that says it is a fake compared to the picture of the 6G iPod. The REAL fake is the one that “proves” it is a fake. The 6G iPod has a reflection of the finger on the left side of the ipod, which is gone on the ‘proof’ picture. On the right hand side of the ‘proof’ picture part of the girls finger is erased AND on the ‘proof’ picture all along the left side of the ipod, the shadows are inconsistant with the lighting of the picture. And the click wheel is so obviously flat looking.
I think this 6G iPod Video may be the real deal.
Dan says
The fake “real” photo is definately a fake. The focus near the top of the image is too sharp - the edges of the iPod are out of focus and the screen is perfectly sharp. Also, the song is playing - not paused at 3:41 on the Gorillaz song - exactly the same a the iPod in the gallery on Apple’s iPod site. You can see it linked from here: iPod page
Pip says
On the picture of the “6g ipod” in the hi-fi, the song elapsed time is 2.16, and the remaining is 2.09, making it 4.25 mins long, the song is about 2/3’s through on the duration bar when it should be about half way because 2.09/4.25 is almost half.
My version of FACK is 3.25 minutes long so would have 1.09 left at that point… Which would be about 2/3’s in, like the picture.
If that makes sence to everyone…
Mistake by the faker???

ya, the terrible edging around the models nail in the “real” photo is a dead giveaway…flick between the large screen ipod pic and current ipod model, and you can see the large screen ipod actually has better egdes between the models hand and the screen.
Michael Wells says
I have to agree that the “proof it’s fake” photo is itself fake. The nail edging and appearance are a giveaway, but the fact is that the screen on the iPod would not look like the one shown when flash photographed at an angle like that. The 6G version of photo has a more realistic image of a color screen. And, as Dan pointed out, the screen image on the “proof” photo is really a PhotoShopped image from the Apple iPod site. Just take a flash photo with a real 5G, trying to replicate the angle and composition, and I tell you, the screen would not look that way it does in the “proof” picture.

uh oh, it looks like we were all wrong: http://rusiriusradio.com/itcantbetrue.jpg
Adex says
Dude, that’s the Origami interface, that’s crazy! it MUST be real! [/sarcasm]
Louis says
if the controls are built into the screen, what happens if it freezes and you need to restart?
Adex says
Panic button anyone? Lol, I dunno, maybe they added a new like restart button like on cellphones and stuff liek that?
hkb26 says

That’s a fake, if you look at the original one and the one on this link you’ll notice that there’s no reflection of the finger on the screen. Someone simply photoshoped that photo over the original one.
Khan says
Uhmm Are you being serious hkb26?
mango says
You dud, at least the focus was correct in the original.
I think you all need to realise that with the current videos circulating, that the photos are legitimate, of a not so legitimate product. Can anyone say mockup? You can’t photoshop entire videos. Well, you can, but good luck not being picked up on it.
Eidon says
This post makes me wonder if this really is a fake, or not: http://crater.wordpress.com/2006/02/26/dagens-forsta-bild-apple/
Sure, it looks fake, but it culd be a shitty cam image.
Eidon says
BTW… Gregards (original(?)) iPod Video image looks more fake than the iPod AV image. :D
*bb* says
I know that the ipod is real because i have a friend who went to a convention on it. He even saw the ipod itself.
