Why Would-Be Designers Can’t Stop Playing the Mac Guessing Game

Once again it’s time for every Mac fanboy’s favorite pastime: The Future Apple Product Rendering Speculation Game. Given that Chinese case manufacturers (allegedly) can’t seem to keep their mouths shut, CAD drawings reportedly revealing the dimensions of the forthcoming iPhone 5 have been circulating, meaning we can expect to see a flood of renderings guessing what the thing looks like.

This month fansite MacRumors has taken it a step further, commissioning Italian design firm Ciccarese Design to virtually reverse-engineer the alleged case drawings to produce speculative renderings of the contents. Their conclusions are that the phone will be tapered, somewhat resembling a MacBook Air, that the screen will be nearly full-bleed, and that the home button has been made wider presumably to allow the very button itself to allow side-to-side swiping, presumably for app-switching.
