iPhone 5 rumor rollup for the week ending May 4

04.05.2012

It's obvious, really. If an internal part that is only present in CDMA iPhones hasn't changed, how can anything else change? In particular you can kiss goodbye the longstanding rumor of a "teardrop" design, which would have one end of the phone thicker than the other.

Lee isn't completely credulous, of course. "However given that there are probably just as many fake parts as there are real ones, until we actually see the device for ourselves we will be taking this with a grain of salt for now," he writes.

The only thing worse than all those fake Apple parts is the fact that Lee is only taking this with a single grain of salt instead of something approaching . 

Thank heavens for well-sourced rumors. Otherwise we'd be stuck with all those badly sourced ones.
