Engineering images of iPhone 5 leaked?
IdealsChina claims to have received production diagrams of the iPhone 5. On the picture you see a device that looks very similar to the current iPhone 4, the device looks to have a larger screen in a similar housing. These images correspond with a display panel that appeared a few days ago, but it is also possible that these served as inspiration for these new images. Rumors about a curved aluminum back do not reflect to these models.
IdealsChina has now got hold of engineering diagrams of the new iPhone 5 which shows that it has larger screen.
“We just got what appears to be mold engineering drawings for iPhone 5. These would be used by case designers to create plastic, TPU, aluminum, silicone and leather cases. A while back we hear rumors that iPhone 5 would have a curved back but these images show iPhone 5 with the same form factor as iPhone 4 but with an edge to edge screen.
Interestingly enough, these images depict an iPhone 4-like design – with the same wrap-around antenna – but with a larger display and a thinner bezel. This larger display and thinner bezel goes hand in hand with reports from Digitimes and the Wall Street Journal, respectively.”

It is possible that these drawings are made for accessory designers. Asian accessory creators are often involved in the early production process. Sometimes they are completely wrong, but they are regularly spot on. With the iPad 2 there also appeared several photographs and diagrams of covers, which were quite close to the original. So expect some more ‘leaked’ covers in the coming weeks.
