According to information leakage, predictable from the English website, the more likely Apple will introduce the iPhone 4s (cheap version) and the iPhone 5 next month.
Some message board folks have opined that the photos below could just as well be shots of a jailbroken iPhone fitted with a white matte front panel – something which was marginally popular in the months before Apple got around to releasing an official white iPhone.
But Tinhte has a solid track record of obtaining photos of pre-release iOS devices and they claim that these are authentic and come from a reliable source. Further, you’ll note that the model number and other ID numbers are on the back panel are X’ed out, indicating that this is the real deal.
