New iBook leak or Photoshop fake?

ibook leak
Well, some time in the wee hours of the night, supposedly, the image appearing with this post appeared briefly on Apple.com. The original link to the pic has been dugg, but the original pic has succumbed to the power of the digg. Fortunately, someone was able to mirror the image. Make sure you read the comments on the digg for everyone's votes on whether it's Photoshopped or real. I think it's a fake. The car on the screen of the "widescreen" iBook doesn't look properly centered to me. What do you think?

The dual USB design is running on it's fourth year... The G3 > G4 changes (slot loadin') were really subtle. My bets are that Apple has a whole new design coming up for the widescreens, not just streched 01 plastiq. However, I don't think the widescreens are coming this time around... I'm guessing CPU & GPU upgrades, possibly 512Mb ram.

Though I am 100% sure this is a fake, one thing seems to be forgotten. Apple always Photoshop their marketing materials anyway. Virtually all shots of their kit has being Photoshopped for their website.

Well, the most obvious photoshop mess up is that the bottom right edge of the Subaru image on the display of the widescreen iBook in the back has a crooked edge to it (looks like a thin blue sliver more easily visible on the larger screenshot).

it's fake. the image center is different on each iBook. there is more ground in the front iBook and less sky than there is in the rear iBook. 100% fake.

Look at how awesome our new product is! What? We put something almost entirely in front of it! You don't need to see the new product whose feature is based entirely on visuals. Seriously, it's awesome, but there's no reason to see it. Also, it's bright pink instead of white now, but it's white in the picture because you don't need to see that either. Just take our word for it.

jake, if this was true, it would mean that it's a new 12" iBook and a new, widescreen, 14" iBook. But you're right that Apple would be pretty dense if they had a widescreen iBook before PowerBook. -Chase
