The rumors that the iPhone 5 is imminent have being doing the rounds today due to a recent ad casting. However this is an implausible commercial, and people who work in that field are those to disprove it. The ad was online only for a few hours when it was taken down, but that was enough time for someone to take a screenshot.
In that ad it was looking for five people to shot a commercial in LA, but be paid in pound sterling. Now there are two ways that we can take this; the first is that there is a commercial and that it will be for the iPhone 4S, as that is the most likely next Apple Smartphone. However, it is more likely to be a hoax due to the nature of the ad.
One reader has commented on MacRumors, saying that his online casting software company handles at least 98% of all commercials in LA; he also adds that no director would ever cast for actors in this way. This certainly seems to be the consensus, as most of the readers have wondered how some of us have got suckered into this in the first place?
However, we still might see a new iPhone at WWDC. We say this because only a few days ago the UK iPhone PR team was asking press from that country to attend the event, and that there would be an unveiling of a new iPhone. There certainly seems to be some evidence here, but we still have two questions – when will it be released and what will Apple call the new iPhone?
