Official photos of iPhone 5C emerges

We’ve already seen the alleged iPhone 5C in countless leaks over the past weeks, but the most recent one, courtesy of a Romanian tech website, seems very legit and may just very well be the best leak of the controversial handset yet.

Unlike the previous leaked shots, these recent images give us a better look at the rumored iPhone 5C which a reveals plastic and seemingly glossy back casing. There are also some close-up pictures of the white handset as well as a couple snaps of it wearing a black bumper guard.

Judging from the icon columns seen on the face of the device, we think that it’s safe to assume that this handset inherits the iPhone 5’s 4-inch display, as well as the Lightning port as seen in one of the image above. Unfortunately, other components of the alleged budget iPhone remain shrouded in mystery. In any case, we’ll keep a close eye for any leads about the iPhone 5C.

Alleged iPhone 5C’s back casing surfaces

It’s been long speculated that Apple will be releasing a cheaper iPhone alongside their usual offering. And while that still remains to be seen, or at least confirmed, we hope what they come with is something close to these images we saw making its round on the internet.

What you have in front of you is just one of many pictures of the iPhone 5C’s (or iPhone Lite) back plate which came from a site called Sonny Dickson. In his gallery (assuming that he’s a guy), he gave a pretty detailed tour of the cover showing the usual components like camera, audio jack and Lightning.

In his other gallery, Mr Dickson shows other color variants that consumers can supposedly choose from. It comes in Blue, Green, Red and Yellow in addition to the White version which you just saw above.

We’re not entirely sure where the site owner got these back casings from or whether it’s the real thing or not. But in any case, we have to say that the site did a helluva job with these mock-ups.
