iPhone 5 screen protectors leaked – elongated home key

Even more evidence to support the most recent rumor regarding a larger iPhone has been unearthed by unwire.hk. The purported iPhone 5 screen protector in the images shows that it is much larger than the iPhone 4, but also has an elongated home key.

If the finished product does end up having this rumored new home key shape what would be the reason for it? Will we see some sort of touch sensitive gesture control implemented in to the iPhone’s solitary front button? One thing I do know is that it will look peculiar – but with webOS style gesture controls it could add a really great experience for the end user. Having become accustomed to the round key for the past few years a new design will take some getting used to.

Thanks to @IAmThatGuyG on twitter too, he pointed me towards the leak (even if it was after I spotted it, he still deserves credit for trying to help out.)

I dont think it's for an iPhone 5/4S. If the mic was that close to the top, would the proximity sensor be on the side? I don't think Apple would do that, it wouldn't look good. And also that cutout looks really small... And centered... For there to be a front facing camera.

Samsung is gonna have a reason to sue! Oohhhhhhhhhh!

So like where is the front facing camera whole?! Hmmm

In the same cutout as the earpiece, like on the iP4.

I like it a lot. I'd love the home key elongated

and exactly why couldn't this be a screen protector for ...say...a samsung for example?Â
