Red iPhone 3G is real like unicorns and world peace

Apple's corporate font isn't Arial, if you catch our drift.

"Apple's corporate font isn't Arial, if you catch our drift."

No...?

[Almo @ Jan 5th 2009 2:44AM]

They mean it's a fake but still don't realise you can get red/pink/green/blue/orange/purple iPhone cover for $10 off chinese eBayers. It's complicated to install but available nonetheless.

[wizzle @ Jan 5th 2009 2:45AM]

fake. he means it's a fake.

[MrNuclear @ Jan 5th 2009 4:49AM]

'iPhone' is in the font Arial. Apple's latest corporate font is Myriad, I believe.

[RUGRLN @ Jan 5th 2009 5:46AM]

I believe it is actually Myriad Pro.

[Poom @ Jan 5th 2009 6:00AM]

It's Myriad Apple.

[Meridimus @ Jan 5th 2009 6:03AM]

You can tell what happened here, they thought the Apple font was Helvetica and then remembered Arial is a blatent cheap rip-off of Helvetica — that's why they used it.

[Das Gluten @ Jan 5th 2009 6:15AM]

"Yeah, we would know"

Oh, Engadget, boy could I use a picture of an iPhone to wack off to right about now. WOW THANKS!

Ah, I get it now :)
Don't quite see why I was low-ranked though :|

[Ross @ Jan 5th 2009 1:45PM]

Myriad Pro Semibold i think

[elefant @ Jan 5th 2009 2:59PM]

looks like helvetica to me...

[elefant @ Jan 5th 2009 3:01PM]

(i mean the font in the image)

[joe @ Jan 5th 2009 5:14PM]

It's a mApple.

[angeL @ Feb 16th 2009 2:48PM]

Not the 3G iPhone... at least not the American ones.

[Jake Lyon @ Jan 5th 2009 2:29AM]

Is the pixelations around the Apple logo an effect of Jpeg-izing the image or a bad photochop?

[Jake Lyon @ Jan 5th 2009 2:29AM]

ARE*

[Code.Red @ Jan 5th 2009 2:32AM]

Jpeg compression has a really tough time reproducing colors (especially red, as you can see here.)

[nicmonson @ Jan 5th 2009 3:00AM]

I want my cover with a pineapple on the back!

[FuzzyCat @ Jan 5th 2009 3:22AM]

Surely the fact that there's no IMEI or serial number on the back is more of a give away

[BuddyBoy @ Jan 5th 2009 5:39AM]

@ fuzzycat

The real iPhone cover doesn't have the IMEI or serial number on the back.

[FuzzyCat @ Jan 5th 2009 5:38PM]

@BuddyBoy

Eh? Mine does!

[angeL @ Feb 16th 2009 2:50PM]

Not the 3G iPhone... at least not the American ones.

[Jonah @ Jan 5th 2009 2:32AM]

Gross....they...they found a way to make the iPhone WORSE...I didn't think that was possible...

[treats! @ Jan 5th 2009 2:36AM]

If you think the Iphone is terrible I can't imagine what turd you think is a good cell phone. My guess is a G1 fanboy.

[Jeremy K. @ Jan 5th 2009 2:50AM]

DFTT... Don't say you weren't warned.

[mac boy @ Jan 5th 2009 3:09AM]

He's a Microsoft fanboy who just gets kicks out of bashing apple

[JerseyBricklayer @ Jan 5th 2009 3:09AM]

Raise money for Aids research. Yeah .... much worse.

[koala72 @ Jan 5th 2009 5:51AM]

@ Mac-Boy

just like how you get a kick out of bashing Microsoft and bragging about how superior you are.
:)

[Meridimus @ Jan 5th 2009 6:06AM]

How can the iPhone look bad, it's so simple? It's like saying rounded rectangles are ugly, no their not, they're the most beautiful things in the world.

Don't get me started on the ugly as sin Rhombus.

[Meridimus @ Jan 5th 2009 6:07AM]

OMG THEY'RE not their. FLAMEBAIT

[ryan @ Jan 5th 2009 2:34AM]

been there, debunked this, no?

Whoosh!!!!

[Meridimus @ Jan 5th 2009 6:09AM]

My mystic balls predict tomorrow — Blue iPhone not real?

[Giga @ Jan 5th 2009 2:35AM]

Wait, what?

[tbracelin @ Jan 5th 2009 2:37AM]

colorwarepc.com?

[Patriks7 @ Jan 5th 2009 6:55AM]

Have you even seen a colorware iPhone before?

[tbracelin @ Jan 5th 2009 10:18AM]

no, hence the "?"

you're all dumb

[DirtyVegas @ Jan 5th 2009 2:39AM]

So... Unicorns aren't real? :(

[loocas @ Jan 5th 2009 9:39AM]

I too cried... :(

[o29 @ Jan 5th 2009 2:39AM]

Should've gone with Wingdings.

[Aaron @ Jan 5th 2009 2:40AM]

do you really think Apple would release a red iphone that wasn't a part of product (red)?

[patriotsn1 @ Jan 5th 2009 2:46AM]

Least interesting, informative, relevant article ever?

[Chris Ziegler @ Jan 5th 2009 3:00AM]

It's a debunk. Lots of sites today are passing this off as a viable spy shot of a red iPhone to be announced at Macworld this week.

[patriotsn1 @ Jan 5th 2009 3:02AM]

ahh, my mistake... This is the only site I go to for gadget info so this was the first I had heard about it.

[pika2000 @ Jan 5th 2009 2:47AM]

iPhone Air? Should this be in Keepin' it real fake section?

[katatonic @ Jan 5th 2009 3:16AM]

my girlfriend would rather like a red nokia e71.
