John Gruber from Daring Fireball, by many considered one of the most accurate sources regarding inside Apple information deemed the yesterday surfacing rumor about the iPhone 5 being ready for production to be false.

With that, contradicting a 9to5Mac report which was allegedly based on information from a Foxconn employee who saw several sample devices of next generation iPhone.

Gruber said:

We received word from a reliable source at Foxconn in China that the iPhone 5, as it is currently being called, is now gearing for production.

No it’s not.

No teardrop-shaped devices, as rumored in the lead up to the iPhone 4S. Samples so far have been symmetrical in thickness (also longer/wider).

Longer and wider? Sounds like bullshit. I can see Apple putting a bigger display on a device of the same size. I can’t see them making a bigger device.
