Pegatron employee leaks shot of iPhone 5C

A new image has surfaced on Chinese site Sina Weibo and shows what appears to be dozens of iPhone 5C devices being put through a testing process. Notably, the devices pictured feature a black glass facade surrounding the display, an aspect that runs counter to previous renders, which have shown the device with a white face. Some have suggested that such a design may be meant to differentiate the low-end iPhone 5C from the iPod touch which has a white face too.

According to the original poster’s Sina Weibo profile, the shot was taken at a Pegatron plant in Shanghai, China and that she apparently joined Pegatron’s quality control department in mid-July. In an earlier comment, she revealed that her plant is responsible for the latest Mac mini as well. The photo was posted with the following caption

 

“The low-end iPhone 5C to be launched for Chinese consumers in September doesn’t look much different than the Xiaomi Phone 2, right?” 

 

The image appears to be a warm-up procedure to make sure the devices are fully functional before the final production.

Till now, there are no words from Apple on the unveiling date for the next-gen iPhone, but multiple sources claim September 10 to be the announcement date for both the iPhone 5C and i Phone 5S.
