Another Day, Another iPhone 5 Case Rumor

Shown here next to an iPhone 4 case, the iPhone 5 case suggests a tapered rear, harkening more to the iPhone 3G and 3GS than the current flat iPhone 4.

style="text-align: left;">At this stage, there’s still a huge amount of rumor swirling about what the next iPhone will look like, with some reporting a thinner, lighter model like this case would suggest, and others saying it’ll be pretty similar to the iPhone 4.

style="text-align: left;">There’s also the possibility that both sets of rumors will be right, and we’ll see two iPhones launched at once — an iPhone 4s and an iPhone 5.
