Google Search Widget

Does anyone know what Google search widget is in this picture?

Some launchers, I think Nova is one, allow you to place a permanent Google Search widget on predetermined places on the screen. These aren't placed like we normally would place a widget, but placed by a setting in the browser's settings menu.
 
This doesn't look like the image of a real phone. It looks like someone made a mock up of an iPhone with a large, edge to edge display, but with Android screen objects. The phone speaker and front camera resemble an iPhone. The port on the bottom looks like an Apple Lightning port. That widget may or may not be a real widget.
 
Thanks for the replies, Stuntman you may be right. I've searched Zooper and UCCW and can't find anything like that but that doesn't mean it's not out there. Just wondered if anyone had seen it.
 
I can confirm that Apex launcher in tablet mode does look like this. Notice that there is no dock, which also matches up. If you weren't looking to use the full theme, you could just use the launcher.

I tried it on my phone. I also use Nova Prime launcher. The Google widget with the mic icon looks exactly like my Google search widget minus the box that surrounds the word Google and the mic icon. My App Drawer icon also looks exactly like the 6-dots icon except my icon is the 6 dots inside a grey, transparant circle.

I still think that someone just did a cut and paste job. It isn't hard to cut and paste an image of the Google search widget onto the image of an iPhone and then remove the box.
 
Uccw has that skin. It's probably buried deep. I used to have that look on my phone. If that picture you got is off mycolorscreen, open the page and check out the 'widgets and skins used' area.
