Here is a photo I found that seems to be real and could be iPhone 5.
That is just a cheap replacement back for the 4

Assuming this is real (which is highly unlikely) it would be to prevent light from the flash reflecting back into the lens, which it would if the rear was made of silver metal.
Many case makers have had to do this for some of their cases, usually the see-thru or translucent cases.
An iphone nano seems to me like a gimmick. I already get finger-claustraphobia or keyboard add when im typing on the 3gs sometimes (not that i want it to be any bigger, i think its perfect size). I can't even imagine typing on a touchscreen even smaller than that. Although I would prolly fall for the nano anyways... being sooo smalll and cute

Are you serious? Where did you get all your info from? First, you talk about Verizon iPhone as iPhone 5 .Now it's these cheap aluminum replacement backs for the iPhone4 as an iPhone 5? And in your previous post you quote that you lost 40 thousands dollars on iPhone Nano cases which cost no more than 25 cents to make(I think) which comes out to 160 thousands cases. Sorry ,but with all your posts, you seem to be CLUELESS about iPhones and I just don't believe what you said.

It you've done business inside of China you would not be asking these questions so I will fill you in. Every now and then comes what we call the gold mine. This happens when there is a new iPhone or iPod which will be released and buyers are hunting for product so that they can have it in stock the day the device is released giving them a 30 to 60 day head start. When this happens buyers will pay a big premium and buy up as much stock as they can. If you make $0.50 a case or if your lucky $1.00 plus a case profit it don't take long to make that type of profit. I know of a farmer who got into the business and hit one fo these gold mines and was driving a BMW and bought a condo with his winnings. That is way Chinese factories do anything to get their hands on parts for a new iPhone. If they luck out or buy right they can make 1,000 to 2,000 cases a day per machine and some factories have 40 machines on the floor and they too sell these at a premium. We are talking about BIG profits

OK, so you're talking about the profit that you could've made but not your own money that you've actually lost. But still,with all your previous post I still think you're clueless about iPhones.

I know as much about iPhone as I do about my Benz. I bought them both because of the brand and I expect them to work. I never looked under the hood. When we I need mechanical help for my iPhone I am all ears and respect what you have to tell me. I only know about China iPhone accessories because it was my bread and butter and years ago I used to eat a lot of buttered toast.
If the new iPhone 5 has a screen that goes to the edge it will make it very difficult for case companies to stick with their current designs. It wil bring on a whole new generation of case designs.
He got his iPhone 5 photo from the Insider site. They post day to day information about iPhone Nano and iPhone 5.
I also don't think it is a photo of the new iPhone 5 but I am still want to see it and any new photos of the new iPhone 5 and the smaller iPhone.
There is very little chance that a photo will show in the USA especially after Gizmodo had all those legal problems with Apple. Which site is crazy enough to take a chance and post a photo of the new iPhone 5 and go to court with Apple? Maybe China will be our only source of information.I think the solid rumors will come from China in the form of parts, photos or engineering drawing. If you don't live in China and want to stay in touch just google China iPhone 5 rummors, or China iPhone nano rumors, or go to one of the china search engines like Sina and do the same searches. I will depend on what I hear in the market place because from my experience the first signs of the size and shape of a new iPhone will come in the form of a case.
Some of the major companies will start to produce cases about 30 to 60 days before you see anything of a new iPhone. Right now they too are looking for the factories who have the information.

Me too. It would be too frustrating to use if it were smaller. Like the iPod Nano. That newest design is terrible.
We will all find out soon enough. These new iPhones are in production as I write, soon parts will find their way to case factories. Once this happens we will start to see some photos.

I received my iPad 2 case order this week
There are definitely plenty of avenues to take. I need to get more contacts on QQ though I received my iPad 2 case order this week
QQ ing iPhone 5 rumors could be the right thing to do
