A site that’s made a name for itself as a leaker of legitimate Apple prototypes and near-complete devices has done it again, leaking an iPhone 5 case that shows a bigger screen and a different flash location.
The leak, which appears to be a mock-up wrapped around a mocked-up iPhone “5,” arrives courtesy alibaba.com, and should be treated as the largely speculative, unconfirmed mockup that it is.
Nevertheless, it does fall in line with other rumours we’ve heard about the device so far this year. rumours added to other rumours make fact, right? [MacNN via AppleInsider]

Monday, May 16, 2011 at 5:43 PMBecause 16:9 ratio is a good thing? It should be slimmer, not fatter. Too bad this isn’t really possible if you need a bezel for microphone/speaker/button/cover the screen from accidental handling etc.
