Leaked high resolution images of a taller iPhone casing reportedly match up to a prototype being tested internally at Apple, according to 9to5Mac.

Sources in position to know say that the structure of the shells do match up with what is being tested internally. Namely, the redesigned bottom portion of the iPhone with the moved headphone jack and smaller dock connector are present on at least one of the longer iPhones that Apple is testing internally.

Earlier today a schematic for a taller iPhone was also leaked online. Unfortunately, as compelling these leaks might be, last year showed us that there is really no way to determine with certainty what design Apple plans to release later this year.

Apple better comes out with some new crazy design for the so much expected iphone 5. Otherwise, if they just make the 4S larger to expand the screen and to make room for a new processor is not worth the agravation.

You mean every year people predict what the next iPhone is gonna look like and fail (except for the iPhone 4 which was leaked cause someone lost one of them).

What this means is APPLE is getting DESIGN IDEAS from around the world fro FREE. People play and design and do conceptual ideas on the next phone mean while Apple can take it claiming they made it. OR ITs one of many ideas and prototypes made. The main plan maybe or the backup plan. I image if this is REALLY the PLAN -- it will be taken as a HO HUM... The Phone is quite BAUHAUS in design and actually is looking very dated now too. Better Apple go nuts on the next Phone. OR maybe Apple will introduce two Phones.

What you deem as "ho hum" is merely the best selling smartphone there is. Why change something that everyone recognizes yet still wishes they had?!?
