A case which has apparently been designed for use with the as yet unreleased and unannounced iPhone 5 has been spotted on a website called Alibaba (Gadgets DNA via MacRumors). The case appears to show a repositioned camera flash which has been moved to the other side of the device rather than being positioned next to the camera lens as is the current design. The image of the case also suggests that the iPhone 5 will have a bigger screen as has been previously rumored.
The site Alibaba has previously been a source of iPhone 5 case rumors as recently as March of this year when purported iPhone 5 cases appeared on the site. However, these cases did not show the same type of flash design as this current rumor so it’s therefore difficult to know if either are genuine or are completely false.
The increase in screen size to 3.7 inches has been a rumor that has been circulating now for a while and is actually relatively believable. Apple can increase the physical size of the screen whilst maintaining the pixel density and still have enough pixels per inch to maintain their famous ‘Retina Display’ (a display with a density in excess of 300 pixels per inch).
Sadly, given the quality of the image, it seems that this is just a poor effort using Photoshop.
