Mac Rumors posted images recently, claiming to depict the back cover of an upcoming iPhone. iPodObserver first posted a version of the above photo that allegedly depicts an unreleased 16GB iPhone with the model number A1303. This new iPhone case is said to “shed its glossy appearance for a matte black look” and also introduce a new case-back made of metal.

The site seems confident in the photo and reminded readers that they were also responsible for publishing an early back-case photo of the iPhone 3G. MacRumors has also received additional images that appear to be from the same series.

If this forecast will turn out as true, this magnificent concept of an iChat iPhone by Rodolphe Desmare will just remain a dream:
