What you see above is just a fake rendering of the next iPhone. In fact, the next iPhone is such a super-hot topic that almost everyone with some photoshop skills is trying their best to make some name on the net. In my opinion, that rendering above fits more towards the next iPod Touch 3G, but some groups are taking it more seriously.

Chinese manufacturers seem to be fairly confident with a set of recently leaked Apple iPhone 5 designs, as they’ve already started producing cases based on that document. In turn, Mac Rumors commissioned CiccareseDesign to create high quality iPhone 5 renderings made as closely as possible to the leaked case designs.

Speculation lead to a more oval shaped home button, a 4 inch screen, tapered edges on the back in aluminum (rather than glass as on the iPhone 4). “The final dimensions of the new design are calculated to be: 4.33″ x 2.36″ and .27″ thickness at the top and .21″ at the bottom In comparison, the iPhone 4 dimensions are: 4.5″ x 2.31″ x .37″. So the new design is actually shorter than the existing iPhone 4, but slightly wider and thinner.”

The iPhone 5 is expected to be released in September or October of this year.
