With theWall Street Journalhaving lent its aura of credibility to thebigger iPhone meme, it’s mockup time ladies and gentlemen.

Per Royo’s YouTube video description, he used Cinema 4D to create a 3D model of the handset along with textures. Video editing was done in Premiere Pro CS6 and After Effects CS6 and the obligatory Photoshop CS6 took care of image editing.
What’s with the weird bezel, by the way?
