Whilst prowling the web, something rather amazing, not to mention alarming, just caught our eye. Apparently, a not-that-well-known website has put up pictures of what it claims to be a 3D capable iPhone 5. What are the odds that its actually true? We'll be discussing that, after the jump.
A rather poor Google Translation of the source, reveals the following information:
It really is iphone5 real machine? A friend sent the picture from Shenzhen, is inadvertently photographed, from the picture, really like iphone5, the front and iphone4 iphone5 seems not much difference, I can not see the outside world is not rumors 4-inch screen, but looks like the back and 4 on behalf of a relatively large difference: look at the camera! The current popular 3D photography, strong, look at the picture below.
So according to the translation, the pictures have come in from some guy in Shenzhen. There's not much to see here, and if these leaked iPhone 5 pictures are anything to go by, then it may very well said for sure that the next generation iPhone will be similar in design to the iPhone 4.
The major difference noticeable here is the presence of two cameras on the back. Previously, we have heard rumours that the iPhone 5 may boast a dual-LED flash. This dual-camera thing is a first. There's a possibility that Apple may be going to introduce a 3D capable iPhone 5, considering the fact that rivals in the market already have devices out, such as the LG Optimus 3D.
However, there's also a huge probability that these images are just of some cheap iPhone 4 replica, as one should not forget the fact that these images do come from China, which is know for its exquisitely manufactured replicas. If you look closely at the second image, notice how several iPhone 4 boxes are littered underneath the table. Now either this person really got his hands on quite a number of iPhone 5 units, or maybe he's just snapping pictures of replicas and sending them around the web, making iPhone lovers fantasize about a possible 3D iPhone 5. Hey, you never know who's telling the truth on the internet.
That aside, there still hasn't been much said, officially or from credible sources with a good track record, about the iPhone 5. We're really anxious about it, and will let you know as soon as we hear anything about it.
