I looked and couldn't find a post for this topic...

I'm sure everyone's seen it already; the Chinese mock up of the iPhone 5 based on the cases a company released not too long ago. If not, then here:

If it was made of glass again, and had the same metal band material like on the iPhone 4, I'd probably consider the purchase but my contract runs up next year. This does remind me of the iPhone 3G/3GS a lot.

What do you guys think? Is it real? Would you buy? What would you change?
Sound off.

it looks just like a 3G/3GS! I thought it was going to get a bigger screen so maybe fake? not too sure as it does look a little different to my old 3GS...

Well keep in mind its just a mockup and doesn't actually mean that the iPhone will look like this. The screen looks smaller than the 3.5 inch they already supply us.

This phone is not real. Sorry, that statement is ambiguous, I'm sure that it is not imaginary but it is probably not an iPhone or genuine Apple product.

Some of the things that definitely give it away...

The screen has the incorrect aspect ratio and is too small
The mute switch is a button and not a toggle switch
the volume rockers are from the 3Gs and would probably not be used in the same exact form
there is a bezel around the headphone jack which is too large
the font that spells iPhone on the back of the device is different
Assembled in the USA? (wouldn't that be nice though)

Guys... we know its not real. Just post whether you would buy it or not, why you like it or why you dont like it. And try not to focus on the screen size or anything. Evaluate the case design. That's all.

Wow. Never mind. How do you lock / close threads? I can see we're not going to get anywhere with this...

I like the design. Hopefully they would make the screen a little bigger if this is a similar design to the iphone 5.
