Submission accurately reports Wired's headline, but the site is in fact Japanese. This helpfully lets me read it, but there isn't much "there" there.
They were able to purchase some parts of shadowy provenance which, on basis of their previous experience with iDevices, do not appear to be known parts. They therefore assume they're iPhone 5 parts. (Two competing hypothesis that jump to my mind are "Knockoff" and "Unauthorized overproduction of non-Apple parts with Apple logo attached to them to increase the resale value." because, hey, China.)
Anyhow, iLabFactory had their technicians take the parts they had bought and attach a current-generation screen and whatnot, for what they think is a sneak preview of what the new iPhone 5 will look like. Pictures attached at the original link and quite comprehensible without being able to read Japanese.
