The new iPhone won't be revealed for another 48 hours or so, but if you need a fix in the meantime, here are some alleged pictures of the retail box it'll arrive in.
Chinese site C Tech posted the photos this weekend, sent by an unnamed tipster, claiming to showing the iPhone 5S name and the device in all its glory, running the new iOS 7 software.
If the pics are real - and we have our doubts - it would confirm the expected iPhone 5S as the naming convention for the new handset.
However, perhaps more interesting is the depiction of a silver ring around the iPhone's classic Home button, which has been rumoured in recent weeks.
Integral
It has long been speculated that the iPhone 5S' Home button will have an integrated fingerprint sensor, allowing users to unlock the device by placing a digit on the button rather than using a passcode.
Previous reports have suggested the silver ring is simply there to distinguish those iPhones with the security tech and those without.
However, an AppleInsider repo rt this weekend speculated that the ring's addition is integral to the workings of the fingerprint sensor rather than an aesthetic choice.
All will be revealed at the iPhone 5S launch event on Tuesday at Apple's Cupertino campus. In the meantime, do you reckon those photos are legit? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
