For this personal project, I tasked myself with creating a vector reconstruction of an official Apple product shot of the iPhone 5S, pictured below. This project took a very long time to perfect and get everything exactly how it should be.
The reconstruction consists entirely of vector elements, with the exception of the raster grain raster effect for the flat gold surfaces, and the wallpaper, which is a screenshot of Space Engine (http://en.spaceengine.org/).
For the symbols of the camera, weather cloud, phone and music I used special text characters rather than retracing the original shapes.

To prove that this is indeed a vector reconstruction, below I have shuffled around many elements of the reconstruction to show the shapes it has been reconstructed out of. If you'd like to play around with this yourself to see how I did it, you may download the Illustrator CS6 file here:
