But opportunistic traders on China's largest e-commerce platform, Taobao, seem to topple the Cupertino tech giant as they have started accepting iPhone 5 pre-orders, complete with fake pictures and purported technical specifications.
There has not been any official word from Apple as well regarding features and a release time frame of the device. But opportunistic traders on China's largest e-commerce platform, Taobao, surprisingly started accepting iPhone 5 pre-orders, complete with fake pictures and purported technical specifications, reported Reuters.
The report also said that sellers on Taobao, a unit of the Alibaba Group, were accepting orders for the next iPhone, for which they were asking for a deposit of 1,000 yuan ($160). One seller, named "Dahai99888," even asked for full payment upfront at 6,999 yuan ($1,100).

    The website says that though Apple might follow suit of its rivals like Samsung and HTC by increasing the screen size of its sixth iPhone iteration, "there are some limitations on Apple - based on the '1x' and '2x' nature of its app sizes."
