The iPhone 5 is due to be announced in the upcoming months. There is massive pent-up demand from existing iPhone users looking to upgrade their phones to the latest model, as well as people waiting for the new iPhone before they invest in a new phone. To keep up with demand their factories must surely have started manufacturing them. So .... is this a genuine photo of the iPhone 5? It sure ticks a lot of the boxes from what people were expecting.
Whilst this picture is very similar to the current iPhone shape and look it does have a number of features that have been rumoured about over the last 12 months. As you can see the screen is slightly bigger, moving to 4 inches to compete with the growing number of quality Android phones on the market. There is a smaller phone charger/dock connector to enable the iPhone to be slimmer. The bottom also shows that the headphone connector has been moved to the bottom of the phone, and it seems that there are external speakers at the bottom as well which would be a dramatic improvement on the current iPhones which have poor external speakers.
What you can't tell from this leaked photo is how good the iPhone 5 camera is going to be, and whether it will be 4G or not.
Do you think this photo is real? If so, do you like the style and design, or were you expecting something better from Apple?
Update
An image of the back of the rumoured iPhone 5 have now surfaced. It seems to have moved away from the glass back, and the camera also looks much more powerful than the current version.
It looks like the real deal and matches many of the new features that have been talked about re the iphone5.

What I'm really waiting to see is if there will be 3D camera features built in! Now that would be something special to help decide between an iPhone 5 of the latest Galaxy :)
cheers

Looks like an iPhone 4 with a HTC Desire backing. Screen size is about the size of the old Desires too. Time to update or fall behind Apple.
