The 16GB iPhone? Nope, don't be a fool

While we're pretty certain a 16GB iPhone is on the way given the recent emergence of the 16GB iPod touch -- this ain't it. Posted in the user forums at MacRumors and making its way around the interwebs is this supposed 16GB iPhone purported to have just arrived at an Apple store. The jockeys at MacRumors have already pretty much debunked:

• The box is using the old Calculator icon even though the firmware is supposedly version 1.1.2
• The iTunes WiFi icon on the box is warped
• Exif data shows a timestamp of 5 days ago (why sit on a scoop for 5 days before posting?)
• Noise is too uniform in the supposed cameraphone picture
  
• And finally, here's the original iPhone about page before being 'shopped!

'Nuff said, eh? More pics after the break in case you're interested.

saving and viewing the two pictures posted above (supposedly both taken by a cameraphone), i noticed several suspecting things that make this more likely fake. http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/8272/testud5.jpg
1) Both pictures from the file's properties is stated to be created by Adobe Photoshop CS2
2) Secondly, the screen picture has no camera information and only has the field "created with Adobe Photoshop CS2". The pictures should have been shot one after each other but how come one has camera information and the other one does not?
3) The picture of the screen of the supposed-to-be 16GB iphone has exactly the same lightning properties as the 8GB one.
4) The picture of the box is clearly EDITTED with Photoshop as the noise is totally uniform unlike that of a cameraphone
5) The picture of the box has clearly sufficient lightning and the box seems illuminated but how come it has so much noise? The Motorola V3X is not that bad of a cameraphone!
6) How come the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store seems overexposed on its upper part?
