According to the guys over at Macpost, the photo below is of a white back cover for the iPhone 5. The casing is marked with the codename N94, which is something that has been found inside the iOS 5.0 SDK before.
It looks like this may actually be a prototype version of the back casing of the iPhone 5, so it may or may not look like this when it finally goes on sale later this year.
As you can see from the photo above, the camera flash position is in exactly the same place as the iPhone 4. There had been rumors previously that it would be moved to another position in the iPhone 5.
Design and Features Speculation
The design of the iPhone 5 has been a topic of much speculation and excitement. While the prototype casing shown in the photo suggests a design similar to the iPhone 4, there are several potential changes that could be introduced. For instance, Apple might opt for a thinner and lighter design, incorporating new materials such as Liquidmetal, which is known for its durability and lightweight properties. Additionally, there have been discussions about a larger screen size, possibly moving from the 3.5-inch display of the iPhone 4 to a 4-inch or even larger display. This would align with the trend of larger screens seen in competing smartphones.
Another area of interest is the internal hardware. The iPhone 5 is expected to feature a more powerful processor, possibly the A5 chip that was introduced with the iPad 2. This would provide a significant boost in performance, making the device faster and more efficient. Improved battery life is also a key consideration, as users increasingly rely on their smartphones for a wide range of activities throughout the day.
Camera and Connectivity Improvements
The camera system is another aspect where the iPhone 5 could see significant improvements. While the prototype casing shows the camera flash in the same position as the iPhone 4, there is potential for enhancements in camera quality. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 5 could feature an 8-megapixel camera, up from the 5-megapixel camera in the iPhone 4. This would allow for higher resolution photos and better low-light performance. Additionally, improvements in video recording capabilities, such as 1080p HD recording, could be introduced.
Connectivity options are also likely to be upgraded. The iPhone 5 may support faster data speeds with the inclusion of 4G LTE technology. This would enable quicker downloads and smoother streaming of content, enhancing the overall user experience. NFC (Near Field Communication) technology is another possibility, allowing for new features such as mobile payments and easier sharing of information between devices.
We are expecting to hear something official from Apple either sometime in September or at the start of October on the iPhone 5. I guess we will just have to wait until then to find out if this is what the iPhone 5 will look like.
