Well, we can be sure that no site will pick it up after Gizmodo was ostracised for the last one

but nothing came of it?

Yeah nothing really happened to Gizmodo, I think they even got off with no fine. The person who picked it up was another story though.

Just a speculation on the future iPhones and maybe 5.

Looking at this image

This kind of design invites a much thinner design than the iPhone 4 and you wonder if its possible. I believe the answer could be yes if the case/entire chassis is machined from a single piece of aluminium. This would allow them to use as much of the enclosure as possible for internals. When you look at the size of the glass on the iPhone 4 you can see theres huge room for space gain.
Seeing as this is the current trend for Macbook Pros then it could entirely be possible.

^ Something along the lines of that would be absolutely great.

Sorry but whoop de do

, I think they didnt lose all to much from that. The events are so publicised that I can’t see them crying over that.

Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is said to have lost another iPhone field-test unit in a bar. And so the Web goes into "iPhone 5 release date" overdrive. This time, the portable prototype was left in a San Francisco watering-hole by an errant employee, who is presumably seeking a new position as we speak. However, there do seem to be some holes in the story. In IT*Blogwatch, bloggers smell a rat.

It has to be a stunt, haven't they left all iPhone betas in pubs.

When it is effectively your job to "publicise events" don't you think it impacts them just a little?

If it did indeed look end up looking like that I'd probably get one myself. Have a feeling it's just going to look like the 4 though

Same, the bottom of mine where you plug the charger in has just snapped off

Loads of pictures comparing the iPod touch and iPhone 4 to what is supposedly an iPhone 5 case, looks very thin.

Two minor issues with that...

1. Where is the phone and WiFi antenna? There is a reason phones are made of plastic or have plastic lugs. That wouldn't work with apples current design either as that depends on separation between the metal bits (and hence the problem with the grip of death).

2. The screen rubbing to the edge of the chassis. Unfortunately that will make using that screen a major pain as holding it will cause contact points on the screen and impossible navigation, unless there is some kind of patented tech to stop it registering....

Ah ha ha ha, to be honest this doesn't surprise me. I think Apple are capable of this.

It seems not...
