Leaked iPhone 5 Mold Engineering Drawings Show Larger Edge to Edge Display?

Some new images have surfaced that are apparently mold engineering drawings for the upcoming iPhone 5. According to MacRumors, these images leaked by iDealsChina would be used by case designers to create cases that require exact specifications.

We just got what appears to be mold engineering drawings for iPhone 5. These would be used by case designers to create plastic, TPU, aluminum, silicone and leather cases. A while back we hear rumors that iPhone 5 would have a curved back but these images show iPhone 5 with the same form factor as iPhone 4 but with an edge to edge screen.

Previous iPhone 5 rumours mentioned an aluminum backing with an ‘antenna logo’, but these images show the layout for a larger edge to edge screen. Manufacturers in China seem to get early access to these early design layouts as evidence of iPad 2 leaks have shown. What do you think? Edge to edge screen coming for the iPhone 5?
