A video has surfaced on YouTube purporting to show off components for the iPhone 5.
The video, which was posted by ETrade Supply, showed off the back casing and antenna for what could be Apple's next smartphone.
The casing looks similar to the iPhone 4 and 4S except it has a strip across the back which could be some kind of metal or matt plastic.
The video shows the new casing is slightly longer than the iPhone 4S and could confirm rumours the end product will be four inches (10.16cm) long.
But don't feel discombobulated just yet. It's very possible the item is a fake. Or at least a mock-up prototype that's up for consideration.
“It’s entirely possible that what someone captures might indeed come from Apple or a supplier," Gartner analyst, Charles Golvin told Wired.
"But it might also just be a branch of design that’s going to be pruned rather than make it into an actual product. Apple does lots of different designs and mock-ups, most of which do not make it to the final product.”
So what do you think? Is the device real? Is this the beginning of Apple's viral web campaign for the iPhone 5?
