This Hand-Built iPhone 5 Isn't Real, But It Is Gorgeous

A life-size glass and aluminum prototype from the Germans.

It's one thing to string together an iPhone 5 mockup in Photoshop, but engineering one from real-world glass and aluminum? Now that's impressive.

The folks at the German website BENM.AT built the above prototype based on all the best rumors and leaked data that have accumulated over the months. The result is pretty damn convincing, if you ask us. It's easy to imagine Tim Cook reaching into his shirt pocket and pulling out something that looks pretty much exactly like this come October 4.

Speaking of which, did you know it's less than a week until the actual next iPhone is upon us? Pressure's on, Apple!
