Lately there have been many rumors about the iPhone 5 and while it’s hard to know what to believe the following concept is something we liked and I think you deserve to see it.

The mockup above was recently publish and incorporated the rumors of repositioning the flash, implementing a larger screen, and of course the widgets implementation of solving the problems with signal loss. I like how he made this concept and I think this is one of the best mockup for an iPhone 4 with a 3.7-inch screen (this is actually the original screen).

Of all the changes above I believe the repositioned flash will be the only rumor found in the iPhone that will be launched this year.  The image above though shows what could be possible in the future.

Also, let me talk about the interview with Digital AllThings, where Stephane Richard (CEO of France Telecom) left to assume that the next iPhone will be small and thin.  In our opinion this would be for the best. So, we have to wait a bit a bit longer to see if the rumors are getting closer to the truth.

This is a guest post by Costea, a writer on Next iPhone News. Visit his website for the latest iPhone 5 news, rumors and leaks!
