Koolslacker Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 I already know it's fake: "Media Centre". Apple, a US-based company, would never use british spelling on one of their products. Steve Jobs wouldn't allow it.Fun to dream though... 585251796[/snapback] second that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Jobs wouldn't allow it.Fun to dream though... 585251796[/snapback] like most companies, they'll cater to a foreign market. packaging isn't that hard to have print in different runs in different languages. do you think the ones they sell in china have nothing but american english on them? my canadian-bought powerbook and ipod boxes came in english (with british spelling) and french. this one's probably meant for the uk or other english markets that have adopted british spelling like bermuda or jamaica. also, some companies like to use british spelling in the american market to appear more sophisticated, for example, many repertory 'theatres'.

ike Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 it's really neat how you can print out completely flat ports on paper and still have them work. what else will apple think of? but seriously, the cardboard box with the strip of paper with aluminum ports glued on it is supposed to be the device? when i first looked at these pics i thought that smaller box was supposed to be another box holding the device...

DigitalFreedom Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 That looks like the same elevator or room that the fake pictures of the iMac G5 were shot in last year, and why would Apple use the British spelling of "Centre"? I'm calling this one a fake. 585251814[/snapback] Also if you notice its missing a D-Sub/DVI Port lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a_witko Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 In this picture, Clicky, you can clearly see that the top logo is on a piece of paper glued to the top. You can clearly see the edge of the paper. Also, the box lacks the apple logo. There is only one on the picture of the product on the box.. not good enough. Also, from where the handle on the box is, you'd be carrying the box UPSIDE DOWN! The iHome logo on the box is way too big for apple. And the name iHome is full of rubbish. Apple always comes up with a clever name. Product is clearly cardboard cut-out; and the iHome logo wouldn't be on the face of the product - only the apple logo.
