While we’re only five days away from finding out the true appearance of the next-generation iPhone, our good friends over at  BENM.AT  went ahead and crafted their very own unibody dummy using CAD drawings, CNC tools  and  a block of aluminum — seriously, that’s how they roll! Granted, this work’s only based on various data and rumor gathered across the web, but it’s still a pretty convincing presentation — the ultra slim teardrop design and elongated home button from previous reports are taken into account, and the mute switch has been relocated from the top left to the top right.  BENM.AT  told us that this dummy fits nicely into the supposed iPhone 5 cases that they obtained.

we may also have a tasty tidbit about the iPhone 5 ahead of schedule. So the story goes, China Unicom’s Deputy Director Huang Wenlian was making a presentation at Macworld Asia, and stated that the new iPhone would utilize the company’s HSPA+ 21Mbps network. Now, we aren’t saying it’s a sure thing, but it appears that Tim Cook could deliver a handset with thrice the data speeds of its predecessor next week. Fingers crossed, ya’ll.
