The 'iPhone 5' has reportedly reached the manufacturing phase and will feature a different design for the back panel, according to Macotakara.

My reliable Chinese sources told that, new iPhone has started manufacture phase, then "iPhone 5 cases" are being leaked at Alibalba.com. This source told also, "iPhone 5" which had been leaked in May were prototype (via 9to5Mac) for design test, and producing new iPhone has several different design in detail.

The design, which were told by this source, blackface of this new iPhone has naked aluminum surface and partially glass covered part. And a small hole, which were seen in between LED flash and lens, was gone away or invisible, this source told.

A recent report from Know Your Mobile claims that Apple will announce the 'iPhone 5' on August 7th; however, this is earlier than the widely expected September/October timeframe.

Apple will more than use the same naming convention with the next iPhone that they used with the current iPad and call it The New iPhone. It's very doubtful that they will use the designation, iPhone 5 since it will not coincide with the iOS designation it will be using by the phone like with previous iPhone incarnations.........in this case iOS 6. Since calling the next iPhone the "iPhone 6" would be confusing to consumers, using the name, "The New iPhone" makes perfect sense. Of course, like the statements being made in this ridiculous articles about the materials being used in the next iPhone, what I've said is pure speculation and nothing more. However, I'd venture to say that my predictions are more likely to come true than Apple adopting the designs shown in those non-Apple endorsed mockup photos.

FACT: There willl not be iPhone 5 it will be called "The new iPhone". FACT 2': The iPhone will contain the same candy-iOS-for-dummies - which you can install to your Old iPhone... such a waste of time waiting for new Jesus Phone. I think going to jump of the wagon to Lumia side, at least its something NEW - Fresh - top to bottom.

iPhone 4 is not 16:10 nor 16:9. IPhone 4 is 960x480 which makes it 16:8.
