So, this is sort of fun. The leaked photo above appears to be of a new iPhone back -- in matte black. Sure, we have to be highly suspicious of all kinds of purported evidence of new products in general, and we've heard enough crazy Apple rumors over the years to fill an issue of US Weekly. Regardless, this one's worth at least considering: it's got a model number, A1303, that's previously unseen, but has all the other requisite data, including FCC ID numbers, that we've grown to know and love on the back of real, actual, undoctored iPhones. Look, it's probably fake. Discuss.
Update: Some more pics have surfaced -- check one after the break and the other at MacRumors. Seems a bit early for these sorts of leaks to us, but crazier things have happened.

I hope this is not the new iphone, because this one still does not have a flash for the 5 mp camera that should be on the next iphone. And it should be xenon. Yep. And of course, it should record video at 30 frames per second. And it should have a multi-color L.E.D. indicator light on the front, too. And, it should also have a dedicated real physical camera button on the side. And stereo speakers.
Aren't you optimistic...
You really think Apple would stake such big steps so soon? You must not know them so well...
iPhone 3G was "just" being released last year in July. You think Apple will throw in all those stuff (Although I would like that) for the customer like the N95. Wrong!
Apple is going to throw in a 3MP camera on the next one then 5MP the one after. Wait for the Xenon flash 2 years after that.
It is all business. If Apple throws in everything, most likely you are not going to buy the next one until it breaks. Ha ha.
Come on guys, did you really think that I really expect all of this on the next iPhone? Of course this isn't going to happen. I was just trying to tell Apple that this is what people want now on the iPhone and not have to wait several versions and years for this to come to fruition. What would be the harm in building a phone with all of these incredible, but easily doable specs? They could do it without a problem, you know it and I know that they can. And they should. Give the people what they really want and they will continue to dominate the cell phone market at an even faster rate!!
FCC ID Search turns up nothing...
Thats not metal, I think its made of frozen carbonite!
