iPhone 5 Part Shows Larger Screen, Thinner Bezel?


The front bezel of what is claimed to be an "iPhone 5" part has reportedly been posted to by iDealsChina. The image was first discovered by 9to5Mac. iDealsChina writes:

China's 1st iPhone 5 photo has surfaced! From this photo it seems that the screen size will be larger than iPhone 4. There has been a lot of specualtion about a larger screen and maybe this will be one of the upgrades we will see when iPhone 5 is released this summer.

The screen could match up with claims that the iPhone 5 will have a larger 4 inch screen as well as a "edge to edge" screen which we mean to interpret as a smaller bezel (border). It's hard to tell for sure without a comparison with the current iPhone 4 next to it.

iDealsChina was one of the sources of the early (2008) iPhone Nano rumors based on some early cases from accessory makers. They had previously posted moldings for the then-unreleased iPhone 3G cases which turned out to be accurate. The iPhone 5 is rumored to be launching this summer.

Fake. Look at the screen you can clearly see by the black part where the camera is that it is slanted.

Either that is fake, or a the result of bad painting because that top section isn't even painted straight.

Great I guess, but am I the only one who thinks black looks horrible for an iPhone? White on the other hand looks pretty awesome.. Apple should either it brushed aluminum or white..

Like I said in the thread that was started before this one, there's no way I'm buying jeans with bigger pockets.

not sure why they'd go this way. bigger screen isn't an inherent advantage unless they keep the same resolution and add more pixels. They won't do that unless they add pixels for use by the OS but not apps (notification area, or virtual home button, etc.) I don't see them doing any of that.

How can you keep the resolution the same and add pixels???
