Sorry, Jon, but those photos are quite obviously rendered. I could
tell at first glace. They just aren't that well done. Heck, if
nothing else, the image on the screen is too good for a photo.
And quite frankly, even if it were real, the object pictured is not
that well designed. I strongly doubt it's an Apple product.
And they ARE right about some of the grout showing through and NOT
being reflections. Some could be, you're right...but some is obviously
not.
It's a fake.
