The picture you seeย aboveย is of aย supposedlyย iPhone 5, or just the next iPhone, that was caught on camera while an Appleย employeeย was testing it. This image was sent by a tipster to 9to5mac whoย believedย it was an iPhone 5 but the picture he tookย โdidnโt do it justiceโ.
What make this story moreย believableย is that the tipster is very familiar with Apple products, he is not just a noob who has never touch an iPhone 4 and owned an iPhone 2G. Theย tipsterย currentlyย owns an iPhone 4 and previously had an iPhone 3GS, so he knows the devices very well.
The tipsterย describedย the iPhone as similar to the Evo screen size, which means the iPhone 5 may have a bigger screen. ย He also said it’s thinner and wider than theย currentย iPhone 4. The edges of the device also appears to be rounded metalย and could function as anย antenna. And the back of the device is curved ย and mostย likelyย made out of glass.ย Unfortunately, the tipster was not able to see the home button and could not see if is still there or if it has been redesigned.
This another picture showing the man holding the iPhone 5, he was trying to cover the Apple logo andย expectingย nobody to see him using the iPhone 5.
