The latest version of Apple’s Photo Stream beta app has a new icon for “taking a photo with your iPhone”… one that appears to feature an iPhone 5 with a larger screen and elongated, capacitive home button. You know, just like all the rumors and cases have been suggesting.
Art gaffe, or can we just all take as read the look of the iPhone 5 now that icons for it are creeping into other products?

Yep the home button on the icon sure looks capacative. I bet they’re just fucking with us.
Maybe that’s the iPod redesign
For me iPhone on the icon looks like Samsung Galaxy S II. Maybe new iPhone will just have bigger screen, who knows? :)
I have no beef with Samsung at all but I just can’t understand all the hype for the Galaxy S II. They are the most ugly looking devices followed by the EVO 3D.
maybe someone fucked up and put a galaxy phone on there
hahaha!!
They’re just messing with us
Umm … yeah … a rectangular home button. Very “radical”.
Isn’t rectangle the new “magical”?
This is exciting! I wonder when the iPhone event will be held………..I want.
It’s not a picture, it’s an icon. An icon that represents an “iPhone, iPad or iPod touch”
It also doesn’t look like any of Apple’s standard icon artwork for these things and might be from a third party.
I think it is just a “stretched” version of the current iPhone. Everything is slightly stretched on the picture.
the font choice of this app doesn’t seem like something apple would choose. i think someone is messing around…
Isn’t that the marker felt that Apple uses in notes and bunch of other places?
Are you kidding? Open up iPhoto and tell me that’s not Apple’s font.
it’s called iOS 5–it’s new (most possibly with shiny new icons as well). Also, no iPhone, iPod, or iPad has that kind of home button. So it’s safe to assume if this is an actual screen shot from iOS 5, then that is the representation for the new platform they will release it with. The iPhone 5.
