“Even the guy who sent them in couldn't swear by their authenticity”

Images showing a potential next-generation iPhone prototype are doing the rounds, suggesting Apple may be taking seriously at least one patented design discussed in the media as of late.

“We received some interesting pictures of what is allegedly a prototype of the next Apple iPhone,” reports GSMArena.

Handed to the mobile phones site with a caution sign (“even the guy who sent them in couldn't swear by their authenticity,” says the site) the images displayed above show a potential iPhone 6 prototype, not likely the iPhone 5S, as the site speculates.

A patented design by Apple Inc. reported in the media earlier this week shows a striking resemblance to the hardware depicted in these images. We’re calling fake on this one (seems photoshopped), but we had to share the juiciness nonetheless. What do you guys think?
