For the past couple of days, Apple has been prepping for the big media event on September 12, where it is widely expected to unveil the next generation iPhone, hanging all those colourful banners with a big Apple logo outside the Yerba Buena Center of Arts. As Apple has now finished decorating the venue’s front, one keen eyed forum reader at MacRumors has identified that the banners show stretched versions of iOS icons, possibly hinting at a taller iPhone 5.

The forum reader points out that once can see stretched versions of iOS icons including Game Center, iTunes, Music, Safari and App Store in the image and provides an example image.

“After taking the above image and skewing it and shrinking it, we’ve verified his findings. Several icons are clearly recognizable in their un-stretched form”.

Pretty impressive observation don’t you think?
