So, it might be a while before Apple fans can get their hands on the iPhone 5. But the elusive white iPhone 4 might finally be on the way.

It doesn't take much to get the tech world talking about the iPhone. The internet has swirled with speculation in recent weeks about a release date for Apple's iPhone 5, and even whether the companywill update its iconic smartphone at all this year.

The iPhone 5 is about 3, 3 1/2 months away if the annual refresh cycle runs true to form, and rumors are beginning to ramp up, just as production will in a few months. The latest appears to have shown up on a Chinese site that resells iPhone parts, as of Feb. 24. The purported part shows what looks to be the iPhone 5's digitizer panel.

Component suppliers who work with Apple shared details which imply that the company is intending to build an iPhone with a 4-inch display.
