What will the <a href="http://mashable.com/2011/09/27/apple-iphone-5-launch-heres-what-to-expect/">iPhone 5</a> look like? Outside of a certain office complex in Cupertino and a few other secret places around the world, nobody knows the exact answer to that, but many are willing to guess. 

Here's a gallery that shows the top 10 attempts at predicting the future -- some educated guesses based on leaks, others wild yet beautiful stabs in the dark, and still others just wishful thinking. The truth must lie somewhere within. Will it have a rounded back like the <a href="http://mashable.com/follow/topics/ipad-2/">iPad 2</a>? Will its sides be squared off, will its cross section be teardrop-shaped, are those leaked case designs indicative of the <a href="http://mashable.com/category/iphone/">iPhone</a> 5's final design? 

Of course, all these questions and more will be answered on October 4 when the new iPhones are revealed, but until then, let's take a look at this gallery of dreams, speculations, rumors and hearsay, putting it all together into an impression of what we might be seeing at the big rollout next month.
