Nowhereelse.fr shares [Google translation] a pair of photos of what may be the rear shell of Apple’s rumored lower-cost plastic iPhone. The site does acknowledges that it could simply be a part of a Chinese iPhone 5 clone, but some features such as a round rear microphone hole and rounded rear edges are consistent with previous claims for the lower-cost iPhone.

It has been said that Apple will release the lower-cost iPhone later this year in an array of colors, using essentially the same colors as found in the company’s line of iPhone 4/4S bumpers.
