French Newspaper Pwned by Fake iPhone.

Thinking they got the scoop, a French newspaper called "20 Minutes" published a full photo of a new Apple product called iPhone that they said Apple would announce that day.

Oops, turns out the thing was only a mockup created by design firm MDI Digital!

anyway, fake or not, french medias did more funny : a xbox fansite wrote a prank news about 100 japanese kids suicides by swallowing silicon bags... a serious newspaper ('libération' i think but i'm not sure) backed up and they were followed by major tv-news who talked about that on their night editions :)

Fake, the iPhone ? Only the photo I presume ... Because a lot of people seems to disagree with you regarding the "fake" ..

Hello,

This was in my parisian edition (at least).
But the newspaper didn't affirmed that this was the future iPhone ! It has only use this fake to illustrate his article about the apple expo. The newspaper has made a mistake about the license, written "Apple", but has rectified it in his next edition.
