I'm surprised nobody pointed out the three UX changes that appear to be the least Apple-like:

1) The white notification light located off-center on the home button looks like the biggest design flaw demonstrated in this video.

2) The phone's dimensions are no longer visually pleasing (same width, much longer.)

3) The centered camera is easily covered with fingers while typing or playing a game in landscape mode.

I agree with comments that the video is poor resolution, the build quality is pretty poor, and the phone boot-up sequence could have easily been added in post-production.

Regardless of it being fake (the bootup likely is), the rest of it will almost certainly be present. There's also no notification light, you're seeing a reflection.

What's it matter if the front camera is hidden while not being used? Though I imagine it's less likely to be hidden when in the center than when on the bottom left (if used in landscape).

For #2, we had this video made to show such a screen "in action"
