There has never been a better picture of the next-generation iPhone until now. From Chinese sources, French blog Nowhereelse.fr has provided the Internet with the first few pictures of what is purported to be the upcoming Apple iPhone 5. And what's more, the iPhone 5 is pictured alongside previous versions of the iPhone for what appears to be a standard screen-size and thinness comparison. The pictures clearly show the iPhone 5 as having a larger screen and thinner profile compared to the iPhone 4S and iPhone 3GS.
