Another alleged image of the iPhone 5 emerged over the weekend, revealing how the top section of the device will look like.

According to Japanese blog Macotakara, the next generation iPhone will sport a large aluminum back panel with two glass panels at the top and bottom section. The image of the top section shows a single LED flash and camera lens, but not the small hole or microphone that was seen in the series of exclusive photos obtained by GottaBe Mobile. Quoting reliable Chinese sources, Macotakara also reported that the upcoming iPhone model is near production.

Earlier last month, Macotakara managed to obtain a front panel of the alleged device and did a comparison with the current iPhone 4S. Photos and videos seem to suggest a 16:9 style body and 4.07-inch display.

Apple is expected to unveil the next iPhone model in September or October with a smaller 19-pin connector, a front-facing HD camera with an 8-megapixel rear camera with f/2.2 aperture lens, a longer,wider chassis and a 4-inch display.
