Unwire.hk offers the first look at a screen protector that has been designed for the iPhone 5. The screen protector shows off the elongated home button seen in the leaked design document:
A second shot shows how much bigger the screen protector is than the current generation iPhone 4:
While we've seen a number of purported iPhone 5 case designs in the past, none had shown the front of the device. The elongated home button area design, however, was shown in leaked design documents. The design documents only show areas that need to be exposed or open to the user, so it doesn't mean the physical home button will necessarily adopt the exact shape.
The hole for the front facing camera has been included in the elongated hole for the speaker as seen in this image.
There's been some doubts raised recently about what shape the iPhone 5 might actually take. Despite all these case designs emerging from China, we should remind our readers that all these cases have been sourced from a common leaked design document. So, there's been little additional confirmation that this is an accurate image of what the iPhone 5 will look like. We've also seen no actual part leaks related to this dramatic redesign. The only part leaks we've seen come from an iPhone 4-like N94 design.
Apple is widely expected to release the iPhone 5 in September/October.
Last week, we reported that iOS 26 introduces an opt-in Adaptive Power Mode on the iPhone, alongside the existing Low Power Mode.
Apple says that Adaptive Power Mode can make "small performance adjustments" when necessary to extend an iPhone's battery life, including slightly lowering the display brightness or allowing some activities to "take a little longer."

Apple is hiding a new ringtone within iOS 26.
The new ringtone is an alternative version of the existing Reflection ringtone, which has been the default ringtone since the iPhone X was released in 2017. It was discovered within the code for the first developer beta of iOS 26, but it remains hidden, so you will not find it in the list of ringtones available in the Settings app for now.

Apple has long been working towards an iPhone with an all-screen design, and it might finally achieve the feat in a few more years from now.

How many times do we have to say this: Leaks from case manufacturers ALWAYS prove that a new model is coming and show the form factor. Don't believe me? We knew the shape and thickness of the iPad 2 MONTHS before it shipped. We knew the shape of the current iPod nano long before it shipped. Same with the iPhone 4, 3Gs etc...
These case and accessory leaks for the purported iPhone 5 are the real deal.
You don't go and make expensive tooling and start manufacturing cases and accessories in advance for something that is not real.
The iPhone 5 is going to have a bigger screen and a bigger home button. My money is flat out on it looking just like this: (Watch and see. Just a few more weeks and you'll see what I'm talking about)
And another contradictory rumor to throw unto the pile. No seriously at this point it's just ridiculous. There isn't even a shred of logic anymore, it's just a bunch of guesses.
I think we should just chill on all these leaks, all it does is build hype and eventually will generate disappointment.
You really shouldn't read a 'rumour' site if you have that attitude...
