More images of the Apple iPhone 5 surface
Update, June 14: Ok, that dude Martin has talent. We give him that. Not only did he manage to fool us, but these are some of the best photo-realistic fakes we've seen for a while.
Four images of what are reportedly two Phone 5 units just surfaced, showing the new design with aluminum back panel to all of us once again. The pictures also confirm a smaller dock connector, a 3.5 mm headphone jack placed at the bottom, a front-facing camera above the earpiece as well as a different camera and LED flash module.
The devices go all "the Dark Knight Rises" with an all-round black design, going as deep as the external antenna of the device. Even the Apple logo on the back is colored black.
But here's what we find unusual about this, assumed, iPhone 5. It's running on iOS 5, not iOS 6, which we gather from the Maps icon. The antenna has reflective surface and doesn't look like the steel one used on the iPhone 4S. There doesn't appear to be a secondary microphone at the top either, but it could be the tiny slit between the camera lens and the LED flash.
The iPhone 5 should arrive in the fall so this could very well be a working developer's device. It does back up most of the rumors about the next iPhone, save for the display, which can't be seen very well on the photos. Still, we would recommend taking a healthy pinch of salt with all of these rumors.
