If you follow all the Apple rumors you won�t be surprised to hear talk of the new iPhone 5. This device rumor has now been backed up with hardware �leaks� and looks set to become a little longer. The display which has always been 3.5 inches since the launch of the first iPhone in 2007 is expected to increase to nearer the 4 inch mark.
Besides the screen and apparent unibody design, there only looks to be slight changes from the current iPhone 4S form factor which has been around for almost two years now. To give readers a better idea of what could be on the horizon, GottaBeMobile seems to have stumbled across some images of what they describe as �iphone 5 engineering samples�. Unlock other hardware leaks these images look to be more of a metal mock up and whilst they do tie in with everything we have been hearing about the new iPhone 5, you do have to ask yourself where these mock-ups really came from.
There are so many people out there that could mold metal and whips these up. These could also be a basis for case makers which of course have been previously very reliable. If you remember last year the case-makers took a bit of hiding when rumors were flying about a new iPhone 5 and we had the launch of the iPhone 4S so it really is of no surprise that this report is being taken on board with some apprehension.
This report could of course be the real deal but like all rumors we do have to wait for more concrete evidence before we can really confirm that the iPhone 5 is definitely on its way.
