Macrumors has posted some pictures of an iPhone 5 mockup, which they believe will be the real deal. Personally i think it feels a little bit like a step back, (old iPhone style shapes). Ofcourse it looks really nice and really thin, it also will get a bigger screen and a bigger home button “which a lot of people need to get used to” and is nice polished. This design is based on iPhone 5 cases that show up in China. Macrumors measured the size of these cases, and gave ciccaresedesign a job to design a mockup from this data. This is what they came up with: » iPhone 5 Mockup That Could Be The Real Deal [Pictures]

A member of the macrumors forum claimed he created a photo of the iPhone 5. Personally i think it looks really fake, and Gizmodo agree with me. They actually showed some proof that it is a fake picture, by creating a similair iPhone in just 10 minutes using Photoshop… it even looks better then the one claimed to be taken in an office of a French operator. » First iPhone 5 Picture: Fake?

The last rumors claimed the iPhone 5 will be launched in “late” September, but the last rumor by allthingsd claims it will be launched in October instead. Earlier Gizmodo reported that the iPhone 5 will be launched at the end or September but according to allthings, a source familiar with Apples plans said “I do not know why AT&Ts calling for all hands on deck those weeks, but it is not for an iPhone launch”. “October” the source said, while declining to offer a hard-launch date. Other sources said it will be later in the month, rather than earlier. » Next Gen iPhone Will Be Launched In October, Not September!

9to5mac received some cases that claim to be the case for the next gen iPhone “iPhone 5”. This case is longer and wider then the iPhone 4 case, but is way thinner.

Check the pictures after the break and let us know if this is what you are looking for in the next gen iPhone design. » New iPhone 5 Case Indicate A Thinner But Wider & Longer Frame [Pictures]
