A familiar rumor is back - the new confirmation coming from KGI
analyst Mingchi Kuo, who is said to have sources close to Apple's supply
chain. The next incarnation of the Apple iPhone could turn up with a
4.08-inch display of 1136 x 640 resolution, 16:9 aspect ratio and a
brightness of 500 nits (matching the iPhone 4S).
This, despite not technically being HD worthy, would result in a density of good 319 pixels per inch, preserving the Retina moniker, and moving away from the familiar 3:2 aspect.

Mingchi Kuo also has info on the cameras and thickness of the iPhone
5, saying that the front- facing camera will be HD- capable, making
those FaceTime calls all the sweeter, and that the camera will be moved
from the left side of the earpiece to the center (much like on the iPod
Touch).
The back camera will reportedly have 8 MP sensor and a 5 element lens similar to the 4S but with a larger aperture of f/2.2 (currently f/2.4). That would allow more light to reach the sensor and improve the low-light performance. As for the profile, Kuo claims that the next iPhone will measure the impressively thin 7.9 mm, which is a huge improvement over the iPhone 4S's 9.3 mm.

The bigger display bit is probably the most persistent of all iPhone 5 rumors, only this time the said screen size isn't 3.9" but 4.08". However, altering the screen aspect ratio might lead to poor backwards compatibility with apps, which have been developed for the 3:2 aspect ratio of all iPhones to date. Still the width of the screen, if this rumor turns out true, will remain 640 pixels, which is the same as the current iPhone 4S and iPhone 4, meaning apps could run just fine with blank bars on each side until their developers get round to adapting them.

The next iPhone, or iPhone 5, is rumored to arrive in the fall, in
either September, or as was the case last time, October. As always there
are a bunch of rumors surrounding it, one pointing at an aluminium back
and larger screen . We're less than a week away from finding out what
this year's WWDC conference in San Francisco and iOS 6 will bring. There
might be some clues for the specs of the upcoming iPhone 5.
PICS
We've already seen a similar back panel leak. Unfortunately that doesn't make these parts any more authentic. However, if we assume these are the real deal, this leak brings a few new facts to the table:
.
- The 3.5mm audio jack will be moved to the bottom of the device.
- The new panel is a unibody unit and includes both the back panel and the middle plate, which houses all the electronics components.
- The SIM tray on the new iPhone will actually be smaller, so Apple might be moving to a new SIM standard.
Furthermore, this new leak provides some hard evidence to backup previous rumors as well:
- The new iPhone will have a bigger screen but it's only taller than the current one, not wider.
- The new iPhone will have a smaller proprietary connector.
- The back piece is made out of metal, but there are patches of glass top and bottom.
- The new iPhone will be slimmer than the current 4S model.
