Apple CEO Tim Cook said the company would increase secrecy of the
products in its pipeline, a speech that occurred on the same day alleged
designs of the iPhone 5 were leaked online. Speaking at the D10: All Things Digital conference, Cook said:
“We’re going to double down on secrecy on products.” Meanwhile, online
photos of what appear to be parts of the next-generation iPhone were
published by 9To5Mac.
Could it be a coincidence that Cook gave his speech on the same day
the photos were leaked? Absolutely. After all, it wouldn’t be the first
time we have seen alleged parts of a future iPhone that turn out to be wildly off-base when the real product arrives.
It’s just that the photos of the purported iPhone 5 casings obtained
by 9To5Mac match many of the tipped changes for the next-generation
Apple smartphone, expected later this year. They show a greatly reduced
dock connector at the bottom, redesigned speaker grills and the
headphone jack relocated to the bottom left of the phone — a first for
Apple’s phones.
