Budget iPhone eyed in blue, joins four other possible pigments

We know you were just screaming, "But what about blue??" when leaked photos showing alleged green, yellow and red cheap iPhone models appeared earlier this week.

Ciccarese took the forms of the nasty seashells in the released images and fleshed them out into entire devices. The overall result looks similar to an iPhone 5 covered in nasty.

What appears to be a half-assembled iPhone blue shell has been photographed alongside the three previously leaked of colors and a white version, according to French site Nowhere Else.

With the pigmentation taking up right and left, we wouldn't be amazed if we soon see a fuchsia, used lemon and myope design soon.

Ciccarese reports the width of the new iPhone 5 at 8.5 mm, almost a mm wider than the current iPhone 5, which actions 7.6 mm dense. In his perspective of a low-cost iPhone, rectangle-shaped quantity manages substitute the circular control buttons with the "plus" and "minus" signs that are similar to Leica cameras.

While these are lovely renderings, they are simply guesswork based on leaked photos that may or may not resemble the final product. We most likely won't have a better idea until September, when some analysts have predicted this entry-level iPhone may see the light of day.

The price could be around $300 — less than half of that of the standard iPhone, which now costs $649 unlocked.

Would you rather spend more on a metal iPhone or save money with a colorful plastic shell?
