Apple Insider posted a story that a set of photos that may depict a fully-assembled leak of Apple's 2012 iPhone has surfaced

If accurate, the photos, which were published by Chinese site iPhone中文网 (Google Translation, via MacOtakara), would appear to corroborate separate rumors that have suggested the next iPhone will have a smaller dock, larger speakers and a metal back.

Though the report noted that the photos did not seem to have a "trace" of editing in Adobe Photoshop, it did, however, hedge the veracity of the photos by labeling the images as unconfirmed. The publication acknowledged the photos were "really incredible," while calling them the "most-possible" leak of the next-generation iPhone.
