More Photos from Claimed Next-Generation iPhone Include Front Panel with Centered FaceTime Camera

I REALLY hope it has Near Field. We are so far behind in the US it's crazy.
 
Headphone socket moved to the bottom like the iPod touch too.

Unsure about this, could this be the new iPod touch and not the new iPhone?
 
It seems a little convenient that they managed to acquire both white and black parts.
 
Is the metal band around the black iPhone darker? The white phone overall looks a little akward but I'm loving the black iPhone. 4" screen or bigger and I'll hand over my credit card now.
 
I have a feeling they will announce this in WWDC. The part leaks are too early for an October launch.

And from the design it looks like an easier screen change in case of cracked screens.
 
This design + iPhone 5 = **** phone.
**** phone - steve jobs = ******** phone
apple - steve jobs = downhill

Don't underestimate Mark Furkman, he may be ugly but he's always located in China talking with sources. Oh wait he isn't.
 
I'll rather an all white one. That mismatch makes it look dirty.
 
Anyone else notice the black mark (hole??) on white iPhone between camera and LED flash?

I am guessing hole becuase Apple typically does not put decorative marks.

If a hole, for what?
Red LED focusing?
And why the huge gap between LED and camera?

EDIT:
Maybe it is a Mic as posted by

Hilarious how the flash, camera and mic are positioned like this: o_O

Old iPhones have sound canceling and recoding mic on top.

Maybe it's the camera angle but the front and back panels don't look the same length. Let's hope these are engineering prototypes and the real thing looks a lot better than this. I really don't like the idea of a longer screen rather than a bigger screen.

Again, I don't understand the mismatching colors at all. Why a rounded rectangle would be sliced in half by a blocky different color is beyond me.

Does anyone else think the large speaker holes and horrifying back plate screams "cheap"? There has to be someone else!

The mismatching colours are different materials. There's probably some antennas that don't fit into the band of the phone, you can't hide them behind aluminium. I'm betting that the holes aren't big, but that the phone is small...
 
I've got to say, I don't understand why people are going to the trouble of releasing these photos. Are they that desperate for some attention that they will do this to live vicariously through the photos they took? I mean, I find these things somewhat interesting, but I'm guessing these people are risking something by doing it. Is it really worth it?
 
I think it looks really good so far.

The white one I am sure will look much better in real life, let's not forget the lighting conditions of these photos everyone! Apple is serious about design and they wouldn't let a sub-par white version be sold (as we all know!).

I don't understand the placement of the FaceTime camera though, they wanted to make the screen taller right? So why would you place the camera on top of the speaker, that means the bezel needs to be bigger at the top :S
 
Actually I think the white is a fake. It has no FCC markings like the black one. And if you resize and zoom into the black one, part of the n and all of the e in "iPhone" are missing. Seems suspicious.
 
This design looks really weird. Hopefully they're just playing around with different prototype designs.

Also, isn't it strange that the headphone jack is on the bottom next to the microphone?

2 tone designs by Apple common on Mac's

Have fun

headphone jack at the bottom? i hate that. always annoyed me on the iPod. ull have to put it upside down in your pocket

glad the screen seems bigger tho

how hard would it be to place a 4S next to it? oh well at least its not some blurry crap for once

Maybe these are prototypes and not what the final product will look like? Or fakes all together?
