Incredibly sketchy, thin, and unverified next-generation larger iPhone frame photos surface

The latest iPhone model came out just a few months ago, so that means that rumors and speculation about the next model are already emerging. Sometimes reliable CTech posted the above snaps on Weibo. They and others believe that the above kit represents frames for the rumored larger-screened iPhone. While such a device is due out later this year, the above photos appear to be incredible sketchy in nature. They are also completely unverified by us. The frames also look particularly thin, but in the age of the iPad Air, maybe there is some truth behind the blur.

If this were to be based on this design, I think it would be easily bent as it is really thin. Maybe they are planning to create iPhone Air? :D

What's sketchy about it? It's a CNC'd aluminium prototype chassis, nothing should be expected of it.

That looks big or the guy's hand is too small...

Camera cutout and headphone jack. That's an iPhone, no doubt. Pretty sure he's got small hands, it's only a little bit larger, smaller than an S3 is my guess.

Am I the only one that isn't super interested in phones getting thinner/lighter? My iPhone 5 is length thin enough. I would much rather have longer battery life or a better camera.

I'm on the same boat. When I was laptop shopping, I disregarded size and weight entirely for specs.

I usually put bulky cases on my phones is another reason I don't care.

if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you.

That might be why I am content with current phone thickness. I have and prefer a very thin case. It's a bit of a trade-off in terms of safety, but I am usually careful with my devices.
