Which of These Concepts Might Be the iPhone 5? [PICS]

The real iPhone 5 might resemble one of these lovely designs, but which one will it be? With speculation about the design of the upcoming iPhone 5 running rampant, there’s one thing we’re fairly confident will happen: Apple is expected to release the latest and greatest iPhone sometime later this year.

The announcement of the next iPhone was expected at the WWDC keynote on June 11, but that came and went without any news of Apple’s upcoming iPhone. At this point, we don’t even know if it’ll be called “iPhone 5″ (the “new iPhone,” anyone?).

Those in the mobile phone space and Apple fans have attempted to figure out what direction Apple might take with the iPhone 5. Will the homescreen go retro? Maybe it will be made with LiquidMetal? Or perhaps it will have a transparent screen (highly unlikely)?

Apple is notoriously secretive surrounding the announcement of a new product, so it’s anyone’s guess as to what the iPhone 5 will look like exactly. But for now we can have fun debating which features would truly make a groundbreaking fifth-generation iPhone.
