Did anyone read their excerpt?

As Apple fans around the globe patiently wait out the final days, our inside resources have the sought-after details on the iPhone 5 features, including the form factor and launch date.

The new iPhone 5 will feature a completely different form factor than its predecessor. Wider and thinner, the redesigned device features an extended home button. The screen size could see an increase to 4 inches.

Also included in the iPhone 5 will be an A5 dual-core processor, similar to the one used in the iPad 2. It will also be equipped with an 8 mega-pixel camera, wireless charging and iOS 5, which features iCloud portable storage capabilities.

Now, this can all be from speculation and rumors we all have heard, but they seem pretty confident from the way they have worded everything. It doesnt say we believe the iphone will have, etc etc.
 
I'm going to order this one in silver I think :) Edit: looks like Apple didn't implement the SIM card-less design this year either.

They just took them down which pretty much confirms they are legit.

We're getting a redesigned iPhone 5.

Taking them down doesn't confirm they are legit. If you made a product that was about to be released, and someone made an accessory for it...you see that accessory before your product is announced, you'll want no one to see that accessory. If it's wrong, and people like it, and your design is different...people will be disappointed when you show the actual product. And if they don't like it, they may decide to go buy something similar before your product is actually shown off. Many reasons to not want it shown, whether its correct design or not.

Case makers don't need to have a fully functioning phone... just a complete and final shell. ;)

Someone mentioned it, that they could just need the detailed specs of the phone, and not a "shell", to make the case. Which is what I've always heard the case makers use anyway. Also, if they do have a "shell", that doesn't mean the shell is made of the exact materials used on the final device.


I want some real info about the phone as much as anyone, but so many people on here see something and run with it like Jobs or Cook just called them up personally and told them what to expect.


And why on these cases, do some have the extra opening near the bottom, opposite side of the volume buttons, and some dont?
 
To the people who still don't believe this: cases leak for Apple products weeks/months in advance almost always. Happened with iPhones and iPads.

How can they say they have the "sought after details on the iPhone 5 features" and continue to say "the screen size COULD see an increase to 4 inches"???

That's one of the most "sought after" details about the phone, and that's what they have to say about it?

And more to about the material of the back of the phone, this excerpt mentions form factor, but nothing about what the phone is made of.
