What’s 4-foot tall with an embedded LCD display to mimic a 3.5-inch touch screen? You give up? It’s the largest iPhone in the world, silly.

Staffs at larger Apple retail stores have been working through the night to erect this massive iPhone replica and rearranging store planograms in preparation for next weeks launch – exactly one week from today!

Stores also got new iPhone tee shirts that were expected to be distributed to employees today. Poor iPod, it seems like they’re all getting consolidated to a single table, making room for the iPhone at the frontmost area of the store.
