iHome?

Hahahah that is soooooooo fake man.... Why did they even bother about making it though, that really does stump me. I know i wouldn't be bothered to go that far with making a hoax. You can soo tell that it is made out of cardboard, but i dont think i have to go any further because i think everyone does know that it is fake.

I hope apple do not bring out a mac that connects to your tv like those media centre edition pc's. I think Apple should be alittle more creative than that, and i know they will be because i dont think those pc's will last very long. Like honestly who wants to buy a brand new pc and have it in your lounge room.
 
Okay, if it's not blindingly to anyone obvious that this is a cardboard box with paper taped to it in a rebranded Windows Media Center box (Apple doesn't put "PR shots" on their packaging), then they need to get glasses. For the rest of us, I think we can all agree that it's a fake and call it a day. :)
 
to add to the thoughts of this being a fake...

if this was a real concept / product and is aimed at sitting in the living room as the media hub of the home - then surely there would be at least one each of a usb / firewire port on the front of the box? everytime a user wants to plug in a camera etc (which could potentially be every few days) they'd have to struggle to get the cables in around the back.

the g5 has a couple of 'easy access' ports - and the new imac has the same ease of plugging in due to its design / slimness.

and wouldn't there also be a docking area for an ipod?
 
What I want to know is why the iHome box is sitting next to $10,000 worth of other computer equipment.
 
Knowing the design of Apple's boxes, Apple will never put 4 pictures asymmetrical on the side of the box. This fake _does_ have such a asymmetrical design. Which can be seen here. Also the margins of the top and the bottom space are too thight.

Then, Apple's boxes usually (read: always) have a life-sized picture of the hardware printed on the box. In this case too, but there's a difference. Example: the side of the box of the iMac G5 has a picture of the side of the iMac G5, the front of the box has a frontview of the iMac. (other examples: iBook, iPod, Powermac G5, Powerbook) In this fake, the top of the box has a frontview of the iHome and not a topview, which never occures in any other hardware box Apple has ever made.

For me, these fakies haven't look good enough to Apple's way of designing.

There's probably not equipment in those boxes at all, you know... just cardboard mock-ups!

Reminds me of a classmate years ago.

I'd go round his house and he'd have a few boxes of high spec machines, PC's, and I never saw the actual product lol. Come to think of it, this is similar.
