Strangeley, everything else in the picture is not stretched.  And that speaker looks like it wouldn't be stretched....what do you think?

Haven't you guys heard of the iSquare yet?

It looks to me that the iphone here is a separate poster, judging from the shadows around its edges and its clear distance from the rest of the larger poster.

You've heard of foreshortening right guys?

It will probably be removed or flipped over to reveal the new iphone design.

It looks like the same poster to me, and the fact that it is right in front of a MacBook Air but WAY bigger than an iPhone is interesting. Hmmm.

You understand how perspective makes that happen, right?

Probably just the angle... I'm betting iphone, not tablet.

Looks normal to me.
Folks really reaching here.

someone is getting paranoid about new apple products! the banner is simply
trying to increase the importance of iphone by showing it bigger. It is normal
to do that in advertising.

it's a crop from the larger banner photo of the ipod poster. DUH!!!

Did you post that three times because it's normal to say things three times in advertising?

Man, look at how tall is the screen of the macbook air on the background, it's easy to guess with proportions that it's an iPhone, not bigger than that :)

I think is a grill, like the one from George Foreman.

If you compare the size with the MBA (???) in the backgroud, it could be a tablet, yes.

But: if it is not scaled correctly, it's simply an iphone. And why should Apple design a new tablet like the "old" iphone???

I wonder more about the (bigger???) lower lcd frame of that MBA (???) and the bottom seems to be with more height.

BTW: such a big home button will be absolutely useless...
