Yep, it’s another iPhone 5 rumor. This time, coming straight from Asia where a purported iPhone 5 screen protector adds some weight to the argument about a bigger, elongated and touch-enabled home button on the next-gen iPhone. We first heard about the touch enabled redesign back in April in a scoop posted on Thisismynext, which also claimed that the iPhone 5 will be completely redesigned to a teardrop form factor.

Back to the screen protector, though, when compared to the current iPhone 4, the protector seems a bit larger, but that doesn’t give you much of a clue about the actual display size of the upcoming device does it? It does however suggest a somewhat bigger screen.

Looking at the wide cutout for the speaker, it looks like the place for the front-facing camera will remain the same as it was on the iPhone 4. So there you have it, one more piece to the gigantic iPhone 5 puzzle. Take it with a pinch of salt and due precautions, but this certainly sounds exciting - imagine the possibilities coming with a touch-enabled home key! Done? Now feel free to share them in the comments below.
