Supposed Next-Gen IPhone Cases Surface

Rumors have pretty much dominated the internet this week. First there were engineering samples of both the iPad “mini” and new iPhone and then there was a drawing/schematic of the iPad “mini.” Now, there is even more cases that are supposedly made to fit the next iPhone.

Macotakara shows how many next-gen iPhone cases have been appearing online for sale on Alibaba. Not only are these for sale and out there, but the vendors are buying large quantities of them.

However, Apple has stayed quiet, with no sort of action taken. Because of Apple’s strangely quiet behavior, this could end up being exactly like last year’s iPhone “5″ rumors, where many case makers began designing and ordering cases for a design that never materialized. This could just be the case again.

But then again, this year it isn’t just case “leaks” that the rumor is based on. We have seen multiple leaked components over the past few months, making this hard to not believe. It’s hard to decide what to believe at this point.

What do you think? Is the new iPhone rumor near guaranteed? Would you be disappointed if this isn’t real? Let us know in the comments.
