The Icon Apple Leaked Yesterday Either Means The iPhone 5 Will Be Really Small, Really Big… Or Both [Mockup]

Remember that radically different iPhone 5 design that popped up by way of a miniscule, pixelated icon in the latest Photostream beta? The boys over at 9to5Mac have blown it up into a larger mockup, and they reckon it might be the smaller, cheaper iPhone we’ve been hearing scuttlebutt about.

Well, or it might be the iPhone 5 proper, but if so, you’ll need to wear parachute pants to have pockets big enough to hold it: it’s the size of one of those gigantic Android phones you sometimes see people massively perching upon their shoulders like some sort of modern-day ghetto blaster.

What do you think? Which is more likely, or do you think we could get both? Personally, I don’t see Apple making the iPhone 5 physically larger than the iPhone 4 even to get a bigger screen in there. What about you?
