Forget Minor iPhone 5 Leaks, These 4 Pictures Just Burst The PipeWhat a week it has been for the iPhone 5 rumor mill. Only days after the new MacBook Air refresh made its official debut did the media turn their sights solely to the iPhone 5.
Given the pace of iPhone 5 leaks we had been seeing since the start of the year, what happened just in the last 7 days was an explosion. If you weren't following this week's iPhone 5 happenings, check out the recap below and hit the titles for the full story with pictures of each of the leaks.
iPhone 5 rumors roundup for the week
iPhone 5 cases leak in China
iPhone 5 cases reportedly showed up in China only a couple days ago and since then they have pretty much taken over mainland China, with new leaks popping up just about everywhere. The iPhone 5 cases were supposedly based on blueprints sent to a third party case manufacturer so they could prep accessories for the upcoming launch of the phone. As expected, we saw what appeared to be a larger display (approximately 4-inches).
iPhone 4S lands in Vietnam
From the team that brought us leaked pictures of the iPhone 4 before its release comes the iPhone 4S. Tinhte.vn showed us photos a a white iPhone that resembled the iPhone 4 but seemed to have its glass replaced with plastic. According to the source, what we were looking at was the less expensive iPhone 4S that is expected to accompany the iPhone 5 when it launches in September.
iPhone 5 takes the train in San Francisco
The team over at 9to5Mac had received pictures from a tipster claiming to have seen the iPhone 5 on a train in San Francisco. The blurry pictures didn't reveal much but the source said the iPhone 5 was "almost EVO-like in screen size, this iPhone also appears thinner than the current iPhone 4 but also wider. The edges are rounded metal like the edges of a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 but could still function as an antenna. The back is a curved/tapered glass or plastic. He couldn’t tell but if he had to guess he’d say glass. He said it looked too amazing to be built by anyone besides Apple."
iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S pictured side by side
The last leak we leave is the most questionable of the bunch as it apparently shows both an iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S pictured next to each other. The iPhone 5 appeared to have a 4-inch display while the 4S went with a 3-inch.
Now what is amazing is that before last week, we only had speculations based on parts suppliers to go on. However this week, just about every media outlet somehow managed to get their hands on the iPhone 5 and 4S (or so they say).
Have a good weekend folks.
