But perhaps wisely, Apple have been testing iPhone 5 components in iPhone 4 casings, most likely in a bid to avoid a repeat of the stolen iPhone 4 debacle which has led to multiple rumors of an “iPhone 4S”
Simply put, as the iPhone 5 components are built for a smaller and lighter device, they can be easily fit into a casing which for all intents and purposes looks identical to an iPhone 4… and that’s exactly what Apple has been doing.
