Well, I hate to disagree with the above observations, but the grout that you
say is rendered, if you look more closely, is a reflection, and the lens
flare, is obviously because the camera was too close. Look at the
overexposure of the top part of the device. That would be difficult to fake,
in my opinion, oh, and the screen looks color to me. That silver-look would
be difficult to reproduce in greyscale. If you convert your screen to
greyscale with iTunes open, you will see the result. :-) Not that I trust
this thing, but the place and the hardware seem to be physical. It's the
content of the screen that makes me suspicious. :-)
