What is the Actual Model Name for the Upcoming New iPhone ? (One More Thing)

[UPDATE] Ok, we have received a last minutes information from a reliable source, the new iPhone might not be calling the ‘iPhone 5′ after all. So what is the numerical 5 means in Apple’s invitation teaser ? The Cupertino might be revealing a total of five new products during the announcement event. First the iPod series, we are going to have a new iPod, new iPod Nano and iPod Shuffle. And not to forget, the most wanted new iPhone. 4 items, and the last one will be iOS 6. Apple already unveiled iOS 6 back at its spring event, but now it’s ready for prime time. The six-generation iPhone might be just calling ‘The New iPhone’, not the iPhone 5 where everybody are talking for almost two years. Few more hours left, we will wait and see what is the final name for the new iPhone. (Answer: iPhone 5 ! ) And one more thing, we think that the new iPhone will have a two color choice of the outer frame, we have some components to prove it after the break.

Back in August, there was a leak on the iPhone 5 Nano SIM tray, it is in black color, we have managed to get a silver color edition from the black components market in Shenzhen. It is made of really solid metallic material, not too sure whether is some sort of liquidmetal. We believe the siver Nano SIM tray is for the white color edition of the new iPhone, the original black one is of course for the black iPhone. Last week, we have got the dummy iPhone 5 mockup from the case makers, but the white color version has not provided a silver outer frame and the Nano SIM tray position is in white color. It might be a coloring mistake for a prototype version. We will wait and see whether the white color iPhone 5 (or the new iPhone ? ) will come in a classic iPhone 4 outer frame design.
