A French 3D modeler called Jpog has admitted to making the iPhone 4G back cover images with 3DS Max, reveals MobileCrunch.

It’s likely he used Photoshop to add the grainy spy shot feel to the photos.

This will come as a disappointment to our international readers, but it seems that Apple has pushed the international iPad release back an entire month.
