Nothing's legit until Apple announces it...

Spoken like someone that has no business browsing an Apple rumors site.

I believe this is a genuine iPhone 5 frame.

Nope, CDMA iPhone for China.
 
My friend's uncle's roommate's cousin frequents the same cafe as steve jobs and he snapped this picture the other day:

:D
 
I found it! I actually found a picture of the iPhone 5 while walking around the other day. If anyone asks, you didn't see these from me. We never met. Got it?

Nope, iPhone 5 - so just picture an iPhone 4 with that frame and there's your legitimate pics.

Nope, the iPhone 5 will be a redesign. Mark my word, you will see a CDMA iPhone released in China soon using that exact chassis. That alone will invalidate this having anything to do with the iPhone 5.

Legit pics of the iPhone 5 do not exist.

Thank you for understanding :)

Although the word "legit" is WAY too overused on a rumors site, I do agree. It's too soon for leaks of iPhone 5 parts. Based on the timing of past parts leaks similar to this, they show up around 1 MAYBE 2 months before release.


We didn't see any leaks for Verizon iPhone parts at all before release.

(But I do have to chuckle @ iphone3gs16gb....FAIL)
 
The Verizon iPhone doesn't have the slot for a Sim card, which is why many believe this to be of the next iPhone.

I believe I read somewhere that the verizon iphone DID have a sim card slot so that it could be used as a "world phone".

That would be intriguing, let's just hope you don't pull an iphone3gs16gb.

We already know 2 things:

1) Pegatron is making a CDMA iPhone for non-US countries
2) China requires R-UIM

It's easy to conclude that those pictures are of a CDMA iPhone for China.

That would be intriguing, let's just hope you don't pull an iphone3gs16gb.

LOL :D
 

If you watch the complete video you will notice a slot for some sort of SIM or R-UIM card....which the Verizon iPhone does not have. So what you just posted was not a leak of a Verizon iPhone part. It's a leak of a foreign (most likely Chinese) CDMA iPhone chassis.
 
AT&T's track record in June/July, but Verizon has no track record, so its hard to say if they will get a new iPhone in the summer, or have to wait until next February?

Everyone is on the same boat as you, we don't know yet.

If you don't buy now, you'll have to wait 6 months to find out, and if it doesn't, then you'll have decide wether to wait another 6 months again or just buy a 6 month old phone??

Wouldn't you just be able to purchase through Apple and activate it yourself regardless of which carrier you chose?

In the past they have required that you activate before leaving the store. Sometimes they have allowed people to leave without activating but signing a document agreeing to activate. And I think in a few cases some people have sweet-talked their way into walking out w/ no activation or promise to activate.

Either way the phones are locked to AT&T so until you unlock it you'd have to activate on AT&T anyway.

We have no idea at this point if a CDMA iPhone 5 will be released in the summer. I've been told the answer is no.
 
Legit Pics of iPhone 5

I also heard that iPhone 5 would be a completely new design. Also, it will be a lot thicker to accomodate the LTE hardware.
 
Engaget's sources said that the iPhone 5 would be completely redesigned. After the antenna and glass problems, I'll bet Apple went back to the drawing board. I also think that the metal band pictures posted earlier are a China CDMA phone. Lastly, knowing Apple, we wont see an LTE phone until 2012.
 
Thanks for calling me out there buddy, so what, I can't make a joke once in a while...this is a forum about rumors after all :)

"once in a while" ??????????????

You posted on EVERY SINGLE VERIZON iPHONE POST that there would be "NO VERIZON iPHONE"

BS You weren't just joking. YOU WERE WRONG. Now just admit it.

The same source that is claiming that the next version of the iPad will have a super high resolution screen?

Exactly. . . .

This was my favorite "Thats so un-Apple" "Fake" "Apple would never do that" "I call bs" reactions to what turned out to be the iPhone 3G (I believe like 2 months in advance)

LOL
No my favorite was the iPhone 4.

"Why are there black lines on the side?! PhotoShop fail"
"Wait it's screws at the bottom - - - Not Apple"
". .. Steve would never"
"The ugliest phone of the iPhone family"


::Steve:: This is the iPhone 4

::Macrumors:: Oh okay - I like it now. Dad - I mean Steve, is a genius.

The iphone 4 leaks killed me, Seriously. The best thing next to the Arrandale threads. But I concur nothing is official until Steve (and company -__- , Hopefully Steve gets better by June!) Announces it.
