iPhone 5 Is Made of Aluminum (Photos)

Alleged iPhone 5 parts obtained by a gadget repair shop yesterday show that Apple’s next-generation of smartphones will not only adopt a different look, but also different materials.

Sadly, for those who were keeping their fingers crossed to see the Liquidmetal iPhone finally unveiled this year, Apple’s next major iteration of the elusive iPhone is made from aluminum. Anodized aluminum, going by the pictures leaked by uBreakiFix.com.

Not a single media outlet is even trying to debunk these images, and for good reason too – they confirm every major rumor regarding the next-generation of iPhones. Including the metal back.

Some are surely disappointed that Apple hasn’t adopted a tapered design. Maybe next year [sigh].
