Rumor: iPhone 5 design leaked

A website named iDealsChina is claiming they have a copy of some engineering image of Apple’s next iPhone.

The artwork, shown above, shows a design very similar to the iPhone 4, but with an edge-to-edge screen. This would indicate a slightly wider screen, or a narrower body. Also, the home button is black, while images of the white iPhone 4 show a white home button.

Rumors have implied that the iPhone 5 would have less of a bezel around the screen, but with a redesigned case, to get away from the external antenna that gained lots of attention with the iPhone 4. If this image is accurate (and who knows if it is), Apple is sticking with the iPhone 4’s design at least one more time around.
