"&amp;lt;vc&amp;gt;&amp;lt;strong&amp;gt;Pictures that show a purported next-generation iPhone prototype feature a screen size and design that appears largely identical to the current iPhone 4.&amp;lt;/strong&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nThe details come from an LCD display and digitizer component &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.macpost.net/1084/more-iphone-n94-prototype-photos-leaked-%E2%80%93-is-this-iphone-4s-or-iphone-5/\"&amp;gt;obtained by&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;MacPost&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt;. The LCD component is labeled as \"N94 EVT 1,\" which indicates it is an iPhone prototype that was in the Engineering Verification Testing phase.\r\n\r\nThe component carries a manufacture date of March 3, 2011. That indicates the prototype is older than the \"EVT2\" handset that was pictured &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/26/purported_next_gen_iphone_parts_show_back_panel_battery_logicboard.html\"&amp;gt;last week&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;, which carried a manufacture date of June 7, 2011.\r\n\r\nBoth the components from last week, which featured a back panel, and this week, with the front LCD, show a design unchanged from the current iPhone 4. Reports have been conflicted as to whether Apple's fifth-generation iPhone will look similar to the iPhone 4, or if it will feature a new design.\r\n\r\nSome speculation has suggested Apple will update the iPhone 4 to a model dubbed the &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/25/images_of_modified_iphone_4_case_show_antenna_changes.html\"&amp;gt;iPhone 4S&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;. The new hardware could serve as an entry-level model, much like the 8GB iPhone 3GS sells alongside the current iPhone 4.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/iphone5-110829-1.jpg\" border=\"0 width=\"597\" height=\"298\" alt=\"iPhone 5 1\" /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nIf that's the case, the components revealed Monday could be from a new iPhone 4, rather than a full-fledged fifth-generation iPhone. One report from &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/29/apples_iphone_5_rumored_with_metal_chassis_less_than_4_inch_screen.html\"&amp;gt;earlier Monday&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; suggested Apple's so-called \"iPhone 5\" will sport a metal chassis that will replace the glass back of the iPhone 4.\r\n\r\n&amp;lt;div align=\"center\"&amp;gt;&amp;lt;img src=\"http://photos.appleinsider.com/iphone5-110829-2.jpg\" border=\"0 width=\"658\" height=\"340\" alt=\"iPhone 5 2\" /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;\r\n\r\nHowever, one report last week from &amp;lt;em&amp;gt;Reuters&amp;lt;/em&amp;gt; cited anonymous sources who indicated a fifth-generation iPhone will have a design &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/08/23/apples_cheaper_iphone_4_new_iphone_4s_with_larger_screen_to_debut_in_september.html\"&amp;gt;largely identical&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; to the current iPhone 4. Those sources reportedly said the handset will have a slightly bigger touchscreen, along with a better antenna and an 8-megapixel camera.\r\n\r\nFurther confusing matters, a number of &amp;lt;a href=\"http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/11/07/29/purported_iphone_5_cases_proliferate_in_china.html\"&amp;gt;third-party cases&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt; have appeared in China showing a fifth-generation iPhone with a new design. Those cases show a handset with angled sides and a flat back, similar to the structure of the iPad 2."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
