The device has a rounded shape and almost bezel-less front with no home button.

I'm a graphic designer and I bet these is render. It's not that hard to make so simple scene in 3ds max. I'm sure of it because shadows lack realism, it's really hard to make realistic shadows same as here. But I must admit, these is really very nice piece of render.

      remember there were some renderings of the iphone 5 before they were released - they looked very real but not? this is probably that.

                  While it is too early to say if it is a real deal, i remember similar comments when iphone5 appeared for the first time in the rumourland.. 'Looks fake', 'ugly', 'apple will never go for such design with dual shades' etc etc .. Finally it all came true. Dont know what lies ahead but last one year Apple has been having tough time to keep secrets (remember ipad mini, ipad 4??) .. May be they knowingly leak the design to get feedback :)

                              i agree, its totaly fake. Look at the shadow vs light on the image of the back, the shadows are too strong on the right..its a awesome design i must say

                                  If this is what it is going to look like then they are really coping Nokia cos that looks too much like the 920 lumina

                                      I don't think apple would go for such a design, if it should go for a curved base design they will make the phone squarish and make the screen curved, making a full curved phone won't work with Aspects of Apple.
