Well, this is interesting. Today the Internet is gathering around a photo added to Apple’s new iPhone Lightning dock page. This photo [above], according to a handful of speculative Apple fans, reveals the next iteration of Apple’s “unapologetically plastic” iPhone 5C with Touch ID.

This rumor first hit Reddit around 5:00 a.m. PT, and then YouTube a little while later. The Next Web was first to report the “leak” — that’s where I saw it, groggy-eyed, around 6 a.m. PT.

So, is this our first look at the iPhone 6C? Or even the 7C? Well, maybe. As one Reddit user said, this could just be a simple error made by one of Apple’s graphic designers. However, this sort of thing has happened before. We’ve reached out to Apple for more.

Should you get your hopes up? Probably not. But you can check out the “leak” for yourself on Apple’s website right here.
