    I may be just "hallucinating", or it may just be an "illusion", but did the iPhone shrink?

    This is the current image of the iPhone shown on Apple's webpage:

    This is the image of the iPhone that more people have become used to:

    It looks much smaller in the first picture than the second one. I don't think the hands can make that much of a difference in the size.

    The dimensions on Apple's webpage are still the same as when it was announced back in January, but it looks smaller in the current image.

    Maybe someone with small hands was holding the iPhone in the second picture? Lol IDK...

    Ahh, cool stuff. Why would they do that though? Wouldn't it confuse people thinking the iPhone turned smaller/used to be bigger?

    Let's hope it shrinks too. I wouldn't want to carry something big in my pockets.
