“It looks like the iPhone 5 is getting closer to release, as we’ve seen a few tantalising images leak of the hotly anticipated next-gen handset,” William Judd reports for Mobile Fun.
“Today, we’ve got a few more fresh images that may confirm that the iPhone will indeed be a fairly drastic redesign from the iPhone 4 and 4S,” Judd reports. “One manufacturer we spoke to said that he was sure that the leaked images were accurate – so sure that he was already preparing to construct iPhone 5 cases and he’d be willing to ship replacements for free if they turned out not to be perfect.”
Judd reports, “The phone is much bigger, measuring 58.47 mm wide, 123.83 mm high and 7.6 mm thin. The screen is 4-inches.”

The “tantalizing images” must have been drawn by a 3 year old. Crudely drawn and unimaginative.
Yeah, but will it run Windows 8 RT? Does it have a keyboard in the cover? Is there an option to upgrade to the Pro version and have an Intel chip inside? If not, then “meh”.
But, but, but, what about FLASH?!
Didn’t you hear? It’s been panned.
Hee hee. I get it.
And when you upgrade to the Pro, you have to get all new software because what you have is incompatible.
“One manufacturer we spoke to said that he was sure that the leaked images were accurate – so sure that he was already preparing to construct iPhone 5 cases and he’d be willing to ship replacements for free if they turned out not to be perfect.”
Yes, because we didn’t see THAT happening leading up to the iPhone 4S release, with tapered cases for then then-rumoured iPhone 5:

(at least this guy’s promising to ship free replacements if he’s wrong, but watch out for escape clauses in that guarantee)
“DRASTIC redesign”? I don’t think that word means what he think it means…
i predict the thickness will be exactly 7.62 mm.
7.62 mm = .308″
Do I see it being featured as a target, sideways, on a marksmanship show like “Top Shots”, shot using an M-14 or .308 Winchester?
I think it’s safe to predict that it will blend.
Isn’t 7.62mm the size of the AK/47 (kalashnikov) bullet? This much I vaguely remember from my (compulsory) tour of duty in the military (some 30 years ago)…
Definite hoax, “so sure that he was already preparing to construct iPhone 5 cases and he’d be willing to ship replacements for free if they turned out not to be perfect.”. Who buys a case for a product that doesn’t exist? He’s willing to ship replacements because there will be nothing to replace.
Wow, the owner’s kid got himself a pirated copy of mac draw and Swivel 3D to bust out those awesome graphics. I’d stake my comany’s future on those.
Ridiculous.
