We've tried very hard not to jump the gun here, over at HEXUS, when it has come to rumours of Apple's iPhone 5 and its appearance, however, as the likely release-date of the device grows ever closer, a single design has shone through and appears increasingly likely to indeed be the new iPhone.

Most recently, Chinese website, iLab Factory, claims to have managed to obtain enough of the latest components to fully construct the shell of the iPhone 5, complete with buttons and their associated flex-cable sensors.

Certainly, the overall appearance of the case feels better polished than in earlier leaks and is very believable as a final product; though the joining of the black glass and metal along the back feels a little awkward, Apple has always had an odd sense of aesthetics when it comes to the inclusion of metal in its designs.

For more details and images, though strangely enough no measurements, head on over to the iLab Factory and please, let us know what you think to what is quite possibly the new iPhone 5.

Should imagine that if that is the real deal, certainly looks it must admit.

Wonder when it launches if Apple will patent the rectangular shape, thickness of the design and everything else to stop other manufacturers from creating candybar style phones!
You mean they don't have a patent on the square yet? ;)

Doubt I'll ever afford an iPhone, but I'm hoping they continue the iPod touch line.. albeit with some kind of converter as there's too much stuff designed around the old port these days..
I know people say if it aint broke dont fix it but… come on.

Looks like it's shaping like a brick alright. Was it Sony that in 2006 tried similar design and was booed by Apple? Anyways.. Got my Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday, couldn't be happier. Won't ever buy Apple products, no matter what they will be making.
Did they ask themselves what would Sony design, again? LOL
