A plastic budget iPhone is quickly becoming the stuff of myths, yet it is as persistent as ever,
surfacing despite Apple’s Phil Schiller’s insistence that such a device will never happen. The
rumors have reached a new level, with the folks over at iLounge publishing what are purported
to be leaked images of a budget iPhone 5 made of plastic and destined for China.
The budget iPhone 5 rumors have stated that such a device would be constructed from plastic
and would cost less than its higher-end counterpart. Such is said of the device pictured, which is
supposed to be of a plastic iPhone created for China, where such a device would be well
received (as it would elsewhere). The handset is said to resemble a smorgasbord of other Apple
devices.
The alleged budget iPhone is said to be slightly larger than the iPhone 5 by about half a
millimeter in height and width. While the device looks like the iPhone 5 in one image, it is said to
actually resemble the iPhone 5, the classic iPod, and the 5th gen iPod Touch mixed together.
The device has a 4-inch display, the bottom is said to be like that of the iPod Touch, and its

The resolution is said to be 1,136 x 640, with the Gorilla Glass display being elevated a tad from
the rest of the face similar to the iPhone 3G and 3GS. The rest of the body is said to be made
from plastic. Aside from the design, little else about the handset is specified. The information is
said to come from “reliable sources,” but as with all rumors, take this with a healthy dose of
skepticism.
