More Alleged Next-Gen iPhone Components Surface

As we get closer to September, which is purportedly when the next-gen iPhone will be announced, images of alleged leaked components are starting to become more commonplace.

The purported leak, from site iColorOS (via Nowhereelse.fr), shows a number of components already seen in previous reports, including the protective glass cover, internal sensors and external buttons like the volume rocker, but the most interesting piece is a thin sheet of metal seemingly intended to be a protective shielding for the 4-inch screen’s back.

We are expecting Apple to officially announced the new iPhone 5 some time next month, and we previously heard that Apple may announce the iPhone 5 on the 12th of September.

What we know so far if the rumors are correct is that the iPhone 5 will feature a slimmer design, plus a larger 4 inch touchscreen display and will use Apple’s new Nano SIM card.
