Leaked photos show fully-assembled iPhone 5 vs iPhone 4 vs iPhone 3G

September 1, 2012 7 Email article | Print article

iPhone 5 will (supposedly) hit the world in roughly 20 days yet iPhone 5 rumors never cease. French blog NoWhereElse.fr has gotten hold of photos leaked by Chinese company iColorOS that appear to be of a fully-assembled iPhone 5 compared to iPhone 4/4S and iPhone 3G/3GS.

Looking at the photos, the iPhone 5 appears to have a larger screen and is taller and skinner than the predecessors. iPhone 5 appears to have its front-camera moved to the middle of the device above the front ear piece as opposed to iPhone 4′s left-of-ear-piece positioning. The back camera and flash on the iPhone 5 look to be of different quality than the one on iPhone 4/4S (hopefully better quality) with some unidentified circular shape sitting in between them. The back of the iPhone 5 is missing the traditional text printed on the bottom half of iPhones but it does have a black Apple logo and comes in a grayish steel and black color tone. Check it all out for yourself:

Maybe it is the affect of seeing the iPhone 5 next to an iPhone 4 but to me the iPhone 5 looks a bit weird — weirdly tall. Also, I hope the colors will change before iPhone 5 hits mass market otherwise this may be the ugliest iPhone to date. Feel free to share your thoughts on this matter in the comments below.

    It’s good to see that, based on the lack of comments, most people here could care less (and no offense intended) . . . .

    @Mike: Haha… I hope that is not an indication of people caring less about dotTech because lately lots of posts have gone without comments :-(

    I don’t remember an iPhone 4 with blue/white/gold combination. Did I miss something?

    Too had there are no images of the top/bottoms of the iPhone 5.

    IMAO the small hole between the flash and the camera could be a microphone for the camera. That would be better for videos.
