Obscure pic of iPhone 5?

Didn't see anything posted about this. Lock it up if so.

One thing about Apple I can say is that they release some really nice looking hardware and if Leo is right about what he saw we may be in for a treat. Thoughts?

Call me retarded but how could someone say this is a new iPhone with that pic? You really can't see much at all.

From what I'm gathering, the iPhone 5 will be a little wider, have an appx 4" screen and be slightly wedge shaped, tapering to the bottom, with a stainless steel body, and an oval home button.

Expect it to have the iPad's dual core processor and a retina display.

I may jump ship & get one for Verizon if it will allow data & voice at the same time. For day to day use and since tethering is essentially screwed forever now that everyone is or will throttle, I don't even care about 4G anymore...

Flipping carriers suck.

Sorry about that, the second pic shows (or seems to) an Apple logo.

Pretty much. Maybe other people see something different but it looks like a 3GS with a case to me

I keep serious track of the stupid rumors, (I make a ton of $ off Apple stock) and this render looks about right...

I expect this and a $299-$329 prepaid model to be released.

How do we know that it's not a KIRF or another phone in a fancy case?

Maybe this is just a perception thing but is the home button going "in" to the phone?

It's an admitted mock up...

How are they making cases if the phone isn't out yet?
Also, did anyone ever buy cases in bulk from China? Where did you buy/what website? How did you make sure it's not a scam?

Not trying to sound redundant if the links already mention this...
The home key will have gestures of it's own.

The volume rocker looks sad and chintzy.

The case manufacturers usually get the dimension before the release.
Apple wants to make sure there are plenty of accessories available for the release.
