Pretty much all product shots of technology these days are 3D renderings. Go to HTC's website and take a look. It's just soooo much easier to get that 'perfect' product shot in a virtual studio than a real one.
Besides, they have to have an artist go in and 'simulate' the screen anyway (and create that fake reflection on the fake glossy white table it's sitting on), so why bother paying a professional photographer when you're already employing a graphic artist?
In addition, all of these devices are designed in the computer long before they go into production phase, so why not take it the step further and create an actual product shot? It wouldn't take that much more effort on the graphic artist's part.
So I guess my only point is, don't assume anything just because these are 3D renderings.
