Apple is planning a special event on September 12th, 2012 where they presumably will announce the new iPhone 5 and also the much anticipated and rumored iPad Mini. However we’ve already seen a couple of photos and even a video of the alleged next-generation Apple smartphone. The Chinese supplier iLab Factory is claiming to possess the real prototype, but we’re not sure. Check out out the pictures, as you can see the exterior hasn’t changed much. Only time can tell, we’ll keep you posted. Via here.
