Rumour: iPhone 5 to get larger screen, metal back, similar shape to iPhone 4?

An alleged source at hardware manufacturer Foxconn has leaked some new titbits of iPhone 5 news today.

According to 9to5Mac, the source can confirm a few of the many rumours regarding Apple's latest smartphone.

First up, the iPhone 5 will have a larger display than iPhone 4, though it's not clear how much larger.

Second, it appears that the iPhone 5 will have a metal-backed casing, as opposed to the glass enclosure of the iPhone 4. Rumours of a curved metal back have been circulating, but the source has only seen flat-backed prototypes so far.

The final, and slightly less exciting, piece of info is that the iPhone 5 appears to be roughly the same shape and dimensions as the current iPhone.

Of course, these are only rumours.
