There are no sightings of the actual case as of yet, but leaked photographs of the packaging have let out some tidbits. The new cases which have started to appear are not drastically different from earlier ones which were seen. Although, there are some minor yet noteworthy changes including the rear camera opening which has been widened a little, reports BGR. This certainly fuels rumors about an improved camera with sensor in the next iPhone, probably even an 8MP one.
According to other speculations, these cases are nothing but a refreshed batch to compensate for the prior lot meant for the iPhone 4, which had to be returned due to complaints from customers regarding the LED Flash and button alignments. Hopefully, there will be a final answer to all assumptions from the company’s side soon, if the allegedOctober 4 event sees a release of a host of new devices by the new CEO Tim Cook.
Whatever the case, these new accessories easily diminish the chances of a brand new iPhone 5, or even a highly revised iPhone 4S.
