Apple product news draw so much attention, that publishers can not resist to take advantage of it. Being the first to release an image of Apples latest product guarantees visitors and links from other websites.
Not all product photos published in the internet are real. With graphic software like Adobe Photoshop it is easy to create fake product images based on existing material. This tempts publishers to use fake images for traffic generation and as link bait.
On the left, you can see an image of the iPod Touch 4, which is actually a fake. A product photo of the iPhone 4 has been modified to appear as the new iPod model:
1. The silence button has been removed and there is not top speaker. – Same differences as between iPhone and iPod Touch of the previous generation.
2. Since changes in the antenna design can be expected, the antenna gaps have been removed, also.
3. Video chat is expected to be a feature of the new iPod Touch. So the camera is still part of the device and the camera icon from the iPhone 4 has been added to the Screenshot of the latest iPod Touch.
