I suppose this doesn't mean that it's not legit, but those cases—for lack of a better term—don't look like any kind of packaging that Apple has put out or would put out. Apple has moved towards a flat design—on a hardware level, but I guess also on a software level—with it's devices since the iPhone 4. Those boxes look more like an old iBook G4 than anything else.
Imagine if Apple didn't release an iPhone 5S- and just the lower cost C instead. The tech community might just explode in rage.
Seriously? There are leaked photos of the packaging and this makes it to the first page of HN?!
Maybe I am late to the game (this comment is 35 minutes old), but this has not made the front page of Hacker News as far as I can tell.
