Earlier today, a photo was sent to both MacRumors and 9to5Mac showing an instructional image included in the latest iPhoto 9.2 beta that includes an unusual looking iPhone-like device. The image has naturally led to speculation that it could represent the iPhone 5.
German site Appdated.de has also posted some actual screenshots showing the image in question.

Aside from the extremely low likelihood of anyone involved in iPhoto design work having details on the iPhone 5, the image in question certainly appears to merely be an artist's representation of a generic iOS device to accompany the text referring to iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Consequently, we have no reason to believe that this image represents anything related to the iPhone 5 and post it here solely for interest and discussion.

i have NEVER seen apple do this anywhere. i don't buy the explanation, thats the iPhone 5.
While I'd hate to think of apple changing the screen dimensions, this had to be based on something.
This practically seals the deal for my prediction:
Prediction: Apple will release 2 new iPhones and discontinue both the iPhone 3GS and the iPhone 4. The 2 new phones will be iPhone 4S, (The low end entry level model which will have a speed boost over the iPhone 4) and the iPhone 5, which will have a completely new design and screen size. As the company transitions to the new screen size, look to the iPad 3 to have an HD screen that is basically "pixel doubling" based on the larger iPhone 5 screen.
Count it!
The pic on the left is a dream come true. However it looks like a htc ^^
